Official Site & Manual · Legal Information

Disclaimer

Last updated: October 2026

This notice explains the scope of the content on this site and your responsibilities when downloading, configuring, and using Shadowrocket. Read the relevant sections before installing the app or changing network settings.

1. Site Scope and Coverage

This is the Shadowrocket official site and manual, with guidance on obtaining the app, importing subscriptions, configuring rules, and understanding protocols. This notice applies to pages and examples published here. In-app features, system permissions, and store transactions are also subject to their respective terms.

Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app. This manual explains how to understand and use the client; it does not guarantee availability in any particular network environment, access to specific websites, or the availability of servers you already have. You must comply with applicable laws and the terms of any services you connect to.

2. The Client and Network Services

This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes, subscriptions, VPN services, or invitation codes. Tutorials assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. They explain how to import that information into Shadowrocket and check your configuration.

A one-time purchase of the client does not include a network service plan. Buying the client does not grant access to servers or replace any agreement between you and a service provider. Service duration, data limits, server maintenance, and connection quality depend on the relevant service terms. A successful import does not guarantee that a service will work.

3. Downloads, Purchases, and Pricing

The iPhone / iPad app costs $2.99 as a one-time purchase on the App Store. The Mac versions (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. For iPhone / iPad purchases, local-currency pricing, system requirements, and transaction processing, refer to the App Store product page and checkout page.

Check that the developer is Shadow Launch Technology Limited and verify the official icon and app ID 932747118. Installers for other platforms are available from this site under /dl/; see the download guide for links. Choose the file that matches your operating system and processor. Follow the store’s policies for purchase history, redownloads, and refunds.

4. Installation Prompts and Configuration Responsibilities

Desktop and Android installers are not code-signed, so your system may block installation or opening them the first time. First confirm the file came from this site, then follow the installation guidance: on Windows, select “More info” in SmartScreen; on macOS, check “Privacy & Security”; on Android, allow installation from unknown apps if needed; on Linux, set permissions or install dependencies for the format you chose.

Read system warnings before allowing an app to run, and avoid leaving system protections disabled just to complete installation. Back up your existing configuration before changing Config, DNS, or rules. Make sure you have the correct server details and authorization. Misconfiguration can interrupt connections, change how traffic is routed, or cause unexpected network access.

5. Accuracy and Differences in Operation

Tutorials are based on the interface available when they were written. The interface may change with app versions, operating systems, or devices. Interface labels such as Home, Global Routing, Config, and Connectivity Test remain in English; check your device for the current locations, available fields, and permission prompts.

We may correct errors we find, but cannot guarantee that every instruction will always apply to every environment. Example addresses and rules explain syntax and are not ready-to-use connection resources. Keep keys, subscription links, and access credentials secure; do not post them publicly in full.

This site links to the App Store product page so you can review the app and make a purchase. Once you leave this site, the relevant service operator is responsible for page content, transactions, privacy practices, and availability. A link does not guarantee ongoing availability or any particular transaction outcome.

Issues caused by network conditions, user configuration, or a service provider’s status should be addressed according to the actual cause. This notice does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded by law. If the steps differ on your device, see the first connection guide and installation instructions. When reporting an issue, describe your device, the steps taken, and the message shown; redact personal credentials.
