Terms of Use

This is the Shadowrocket official website and manual, with app acquisition guidance, configuration instructions, and troubleshooting documentation. These terms apply to visiting this site and reading or using the manual. App licenses and store transactions are governed separately by their applicable terms. Review the relevant terms before using related features.

1. Scope and app availability

Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app. The iPhone and iPad version is a one-time $2.99 purchase on the App Store. The Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Mac versions are available for Apple silicon and Intel. See the download guide for acquisition options. Installers for computers, Android, and Linux are available through the /dl/ path on this site.

Check the App Store listing for the iPhone and iPad system requirements. Payments, downloads, and purchase history are subject to the applicable store's terms. These site terms do not replace store transaction terms or limit any consumer rights you have under applicable law.

2. Lawful use and user responsibilities

You must comply with the laws and regulations where you are located and in any region relevant to your use. Use Shadowrocket only with devices, networks, and services you are legally authorized to use. Do not use the app or site content for unlawful activities, to infringe others' rights, gain unauthorized system access, steal information, or disrupt network operations.

Before configuring the app, confirm that you are authorized to use the server and related information. Keep subscription links, passwords, and configuration backups secure. Remove sensitive information before sharing logs. Before changing Config, rules, or system network settings, keep a recoverable copy and assess how the changes may affect existing connections.

3. Server and subscription services

This site does not provide, sell, or recommend servers or subscription services. The manual assumes you already have your own subscription or server details. Obtain subscription information from your service provider. Example addresses and credentials in the documentation explain field formats only and cannot be used to connect.

A one-time app purchase does not include a service plan. Getting the app does not include server resources, network bandwidth, or subscription access. Users must handle providers' charges, validity periods, access permissions, and service availability directly with the relevant provider under their respective agreements. This site is not involved in those transactions or their fulfillment.

4. Provided as is and liability

The iPhone and iPad version is sold on the App Store for a one-time $2.99 purchase; the Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. The app and manual are provided as is and as available. Device environments, system changes, network conditions, and provider changes may affect results. The instructions do not guarantee continuous availability or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site is not liable for interruptions, configuration errors, connection failures, or data loss, nor for any resulting indirect losses. You are responsible for backing up important data. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, or affects your statutory remedies.

5. Trademarks and intellectual property

The Shadowrocket trademark, app, and related rights belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or the respective rights holders. This site provides access to the manual and instructions; it does not transfer intellectual property rights in the app, its icon, or the manual to users.

You may consult the manual for personal learning and practical configuration. When quoting it, credit the source and retain relevant rights notices.
