Terms of Use

This is the Shadowrocket official website and manual, with app access instructions, configuration guides, and troubleshooting information. These terms apply when you visit this site, read its documentation, or use its download links. Please read them before using site features. App purchases and use are also subject to the applicable store terms and in-app information.

Q1 Service scope and download options

This site provides clients and documentation, not network connectivity services. The iPhone and iPad version is available on the App Store for a one-time purchase of $2.99. The Mac versions for Apple Silicon and Intel, as well as the Windows, Android, and Linux versions, are free. The amount charged is as shown by the store. Check the App Store listing for iPhone and iPad system requirements.

Choose your platform on the Download Shadowrocket page. The iPhone and iPad App Store listing has app ID 932747118. Installers for other platforms are provided on this site at /dl/shadowrocket/. For system installation prompts and any required approval steps, see the installation guide. Before proceeding, verify the file source and check your device management requirements.

A one-time client purchase is not a connectivity plan. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscription services. Using connection configurations requires your own existing subscription or server details; you are responsible for managing your relationship with the relevant provider.

Q2 Lawful use and user responsibilities

You must comply with the laws and regulations that apply where you live and where you use the client. Do not use the client or site materials for unlawful activities, to violate others’ rights, or to disrupt the normal operation of networks or information systems. Descriptions of technical features do not authorize any particular use.

Before use, confirm that you are authorized to access the relevant servers and handle the associated data, and follow the rules of your organization, school, or device administrator. Subscription URLs, account credentials, and configuration files may contain sensitive information; keep them secure. Before reporting an issue, remove any personal information and access credentials.

Q3 Availability and limits of liability

The client and materials on this site are provided as is. Network conditions, system permissions, configuration details, and server status can all affect results. This site does not guarantee continuous availability, successful connections, or fitness for a particular purpose. If the documentation differs from the current app interface, check the app itself and avoid overwriting existing settings without verifying them.

Back up anything you may need before changing rules, importing configurations, or updating the client. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site is not liable for unavailability, connection interruptions, configuration errors, or data loss. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where the law does not allow it, or affects your statutory consumer rights. Store orders, payments, and refunds are handled through the applicable store.

Q4 Intellectual property and use of content

Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial application. Its trademarks, application, official icon, and related product materials belong to developer Shadow Launch Technology Limited or their respective rights holders. Visiting this site or obtaining the client does not transfer ownership of these intellectual property rights or grant rights beyond the applicable license.

You may consult and study this site's documentation for personal use. When quoting it, identify the source and preserve its meaning. Do not misrepresent download options, remove essential conditions, or present the documentation as a promise of connectivity services. Copying, distributing, or using the application or protected materials commercially is subject to applicable law and license terms.

Q5 Changes to these terms and issue handling

These terms may be revised when features, access options, or legal requirements change. Revisions and the month of update will be posted on this page. Where separate notice is legally required, it will be provided as required. Changes will not retroactively reduce rights you have already acquired under applicable law. Before continuing to use the site, review the terms relevant to your current use.

For import, connection, or permission issues, first follow the steps and troubleshooting guidance in Getting Started. For store regions, purchases, and restoring purchases, see the Get & Install guide. These guides can help identify issues; they do not replace store order support or the support process for services you already use.
