Disclaimer
Last updated: March 2026
This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. This disclaimer explains the scope of the site's documentation, download guidance, and examples. Read it together with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
1. About This Manual and Its Scope
This site provides guidance on getting Shadowrocket for each platform, installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. The documentation helps users understand the app's features; it does not guarantee results in any particular network environment or with any server. Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app, and examples in this manual do not change its licensing terms.
Choose steps based on your device's operating system, the interface you see, and your network conditions. Follow applicable local laws and network policies. Before making changes to a managed device, workplace network, or someone else's server, confirm that you have permission to do so.
2. The App and Network Services Are Separate
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend connection configurations or subscription services. Import and connection tutorials assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. Example domains illustrate fields and rules; they are not service addresses you can use.
A one-time app purchase does not include a network service plan. Buying the app does not grant access to a network service or guarantee that an existing service will remain available. Server reachability, subscription contents, service periods, and related disputes are governed by the user's agreement with the relevant service provider. Changing app settings is no substitute for checking the service itself.
3. Content Accuracy and Operational Risks
Tutorials reflect the interface at the time they were written. App and system updates may change menu locations, prompts, and step order, and options can differ between devices. We update documentation when we identify issues, but cannot guarantee that every page will be revised alongside every interface change.
Before replacing a configuration, editing rules, or changing permissions, save your existing configuration, confirm the scope of the changes, and verify them one at a time. Examples explain concepts and should not be treated as complete configurations for every environment. If your interface differs from the instructions, pause any uncertain steps, check the FAQ or Getting Started Guide, and verify the details before continuing.
4. Availability, Pricing, and Installation Security Prompts
Get Shadowrocket for iPhone and iPad from the App Store. The US price is a one-time $2.99 purchase; check the App Store listing for current pricing and purchase details. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. For iPhone and iPad system requirements, refer to the App Store listing.
Installers for other platforms are available only at /dl/shadowrocket/ on this site. See the downloads for all platforms page to choose the right one. The desktop and Android installers are unsigned, so your system may block installation or opening them the first time. Verify the download source and file type, then follow the installation security guidance for macOS, Windows, or Android prompts. Do not disable your device's overall security protections.
5. External Links and Store Information
The external product link on this site points to the Shadowrocket App Store listing. The relevant platform manages the listing, payments, account verification, and store availability. Transactions are subject to the store listing and platform terms.
Before purchasing, verify the developer name, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, the official app icon, and app ID 932747118. This documentation does not replace current store information or guarantee that external pages will always be available. For purchase or order issues, use the store's support process.
6. Liability and Support
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site is not liable for losses directly caused by users entering incorrect server details, using expired subscriptions, changing rules incorrectly, or ignoring system prompts, including connection interruptions and lost configurations. This disclaimer does not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or affect rights users have under applicable law.
When troubleshooting, note your operating system, the step you were on, and any error message. Hide sensitive information such as subscription URLs and passwords. Find the relevant guidance in the FAQ, then check each step in turn to avoid making several changes at once that cannot be traced.
