About Shadowrocket Starter Guide

Site Scope and Availability

The Shadowrocket Starter Guide is the official website and manual for Shadowrocket, with guidance on availability across platforms, importing existing materials, rule-based routing, and troubleshooting connections. Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app.

The iPhone and iPad app is a one-time $2.99 purchase on the App Store. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Check the App Store listing for system requirements. Verify the developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, the official icon, and app ID 932747118 on the store page.

For other platforms, get installation packages from this site’s /dl/ directory. Visit Get the App for download links. If your system blocks the app when you first open it, follow the installation access instructions and verify the file’s source first.

Editorial Standards

The manual is based on hands-on checks of the current interface. It retains English names such as Global Routing, Add Server, and Subscribe, and distinguishes steps from parameter explanations and applicable conditions. System and interface changes may move menu items. Refer to the product page for store information and to the current interface on your device for settings.

Resources and Service Boundaries

Responsible Use and Help

Follow the laws and regulations where you live and the requirements of the network you use. Use only configuration materials you are authorized to access. Connection performance depends on your local network, server status, and configuration; the app’s connection toggle alone cannot determine the cause. Back up existing configurations before making changes. If you run into problems, start with Troubleshooting, then check each step in the Setup Guide.
