FILE NO. C-007 / ARCHIVE / DOWNLOAD INDEX
This page is the master installer index. Pull up entries by operating system: each platform lists clients in recommended order, with current version, target audience, and maintenance status, plus system requirements. Download links automatically point to each client's current release when the page loads.
Client lists for five platforms follow below. First-time users should go straight to the first card for their platform; browse the alternatives below it only if you have specific needs (script extensions, command-line deployment). After installing, head to the tutorial page to import a subscription and verify the connection.
Windows has the most client options of any platform. Follow the order below for everyday use; archived entries exist only to help users still on older versions transition off them.
A Clash client with one unified interface across four platforms. Subscription import, mode switching, and node latency testing all live on the same panel, and the default settings are friendly to new users — no changes needed to get connected the first time. A solid first choice for most Windows users.
A community-maintained, power-user-oriented client built on Tauri, with a small footprint and low resource usage. It offers Merge/Script config extensions, fine-grained TUN mode toggles, and a connections panel — a good fit for users who want custom rules and scripted subscription handling.
A multi-platform client written in Flutter, with a clean interface that works out of the box. Available as both an installer and a portable zip — the zip can be extracted and run directly, useful when you can't run an installer or need a portable setup.
Another Tauri-based community client with a distinctive interface style, supporting multiple-core switching and config file enhancements. It sits in roughly the same niche as Clash Verge Rev and works well as an alternative.
Once the most widely used Windows client, now discontinued; this is an archive of its final release. It no longer receives feature updates or bug fixes. New users should choose any actively maintained client above; existing users can find migration steps on the tutorial page.
| Client | Minimum OS | Architecture | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clash Plus | Windows 10 (1809) | x64 | Allow network access on first run |
| Clash Verge Rev | Windows 10 | x64 | Requires WebView2; the installer fetches it automatically if missing |
| FlClash | Windows 10 | x64 | Portable version runs directly after extraction |
| Clash Nyanpasu | Windows 10 | x64 | Requires WebView2 |
| Clash for Windows | Windows 7 SP1 | x64 | Archived build, no longer updated |
macOS users should check their chip type before downloading: Apple menu → About This Mac. Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel chips need different installers.
Same interface logic as the Windows and mobile versions, with a persistent menu bar presence and support for rule-based routing and enhanced mode. Available in separate Apple Silicon and Intel builds — pick the dmg matching your chip.
The same advanced configuration options as the Windows version: script extensions, TUN mode, and a full connections panel. The first time you enable enhanced mode, macOS will ask for network extension authorization — just allow it in System Settings when prompted.
Same interface and workflow as on other platforms, a good fit if you already use FlClash on your phone or Windows machine and want a consistent desktop experience.
The Meta-core fork of the classic menu-bar client ClashX, now discontinued; this is an archived build. Some users still prefer its lightweight, window-free style, but new setups should choose an actively maintained client above.
| Client | Minimum OS | Chip | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clash Plus | macOS 12 Monterey | Apple Silicon / Intel | Allow the app to run on first launch |
| Clash Verge Rev | macOS 11 Big Sur | Apple Silicon / Intel | Enhanced mode requires network extension authorization |
| FlClash | macOS 11 Big Sur | Apple Silicon / Intel | — |
| ClashX Meta | macOS 11 Big Sur | Apple Silicon / Intel | Archived build, no longer updated |
Android installers are all direct APKs, so the first install requires granting the "install unknown apps" permission. For most phones released after 2015, pick the arm64 build; on older or uncertain hardware, use the universal build instead.
Same workflow as the desktop version: import a subscription, choose a mode, connect with one tap. It runs as a VPN service that takes over traffic for all apps, so there's no need to configure a proxy app by app. A solid first choice on Android.
The official Android client from the Meta core project, with full configuration capabilities including config overrides and per-app routing (access control). The interface leans technical, so it suits users already comfortable with Clash config structure.
The same clean interface across every platform, with support for per-app routing and config overrides, at a lower learning curve than Clash Meta for Android. Users already on FlClash on desktop can keep a consistent experience.
An Android client compatible with the Surge config format, alongside support for common proxy protocols. It's aimed mainly at users who already have a Surge-format config on hand; those using a standard Clash subscription should choose a client above instead.
| Client | Minimum OS | Architecture | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clash Plus | Android 8.0 | arm64-v8a | Requires VPN connection permission |
| Clash Meta for Android | Android 7.0 | arm64 / arm / universal | Supports per-app access control |
| FlClash | Android 8.0 | arm64 / arm | — |
| Surfboard | Android 7.0 | universal | Compatible with the Surge config format |
On iOS, the client is distributed through the App Store — installation and updates are handled entirely by the store, with no installer files to manage.
The App Store listing for Clash Plus shares the same subscription and interface logic as the Windows / macOS / Android versions — one subscription link works across all your devices. Available for both iPhone and iPad, it takes over traffic through the system VPN configuration, with rule-based routing and node switching handled inside the app.
Official site: clashplus.io · Refer to the store listing for version details and release notes.
| Client | Minimum OS | Device | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clash Plus | iOS 15.0 | iPhone / iPad | Allow adding a VPN configuration on first connection |
Linux desktop users should pick deb (Debian / Ubuntu family) or rpm (Fedora / openSUSE family) based on their distro's package manager. For servers and routers with no graphical environment, switch to the "Core" tab and deploy mihomo directly.
The most complete option on Linux desktop: both system proxy and TUN mode are available, with a tray icon and full graphical interface. Install the deb package with apt or dpkg, or the rpm package with dnf or rpm — dependencies are resolved automatically.
An alternative client with the same interface as other platforms, good for anyone who wants a simple setup or a consistent experience across devices. Currently offered as a deb package, ready to install on Debian / Ubuntu-family distros.
| Client | Reference Environment | Architecture | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clash Verge Rev | Ubuntu 20.04+ / Fedora 38+ | amd64 / x86_64 | TUN mode requires root or CAP_NET_ADMIN authorization |
| FlClash | Ubuntu 20.04+ | amd64 | — |
mihomo is the general-purpose core behind the current Clash ecosystem. Below are binary archives for each architecture, meant for deployment on servers, routers, and other headless environments. Regular desktop and mobile users should use the GUI clients under the earlier tabs — there's no need to download the core separately.
Extracting the zip / gz archive yields a single executable, run from the command line alongside a config directory; the deb package targets Debian / Ubuntu-family systems and installs with a systemd service unit included. On routers and embedded devices, confirm the CPU architecture before picking an entry.
| OS | Architecture | Format | Download |

Deployment notes: after extracting, make the binary executable (chmod +x mihomo), then start it with mihomo -d config-directory. For config file syntax, see the advanced articles on this site's troubleshooting page and blog. GeoIP / GeoSite databases are fetched automatically on first run.
This list only covers questions directly tied to downloading and installing. For subscription import and connection steps, see the tutorial page; for runtime issues like connection failures or slow speeds, see troubleshooting; for everything else, check the FAQ page.
When the page loads, a script reads a version-manifest endpoint and rewrites every download button to point at that client's current release, updating the version number shown on each card. If the endpoint is temporarily unavailable, each button falls back to a known-working fixed version link, so downloads still work.
The first card on each platform is the recommended pick. Clash Plus covers Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS with one consistent interface and the same subscription-import flow, which suits most users. Users who need advanced features like script extensions or fine-grained TUN control can choose Clash Verge Rev instead. See each card's description for more on how the clients differ.
Proxy software needs to modify system network settings, which is why some security tools flag it — a common false positive. To handle it: choose to keep the file when prompted, and add the install directory to your trusted list or exclusion list. If the installer gets deleted during download, pause real-time protection first, re-download and finish installing, then turn protection back on.
The APKs on this page aren't distributed through an app store, so the first install requires granting your browser or file manager the "install unknown apps" permission, usually found under Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps. After granting it, return to the install screen to continue; you can revoke the permission once installation is done.
Clash for Windows and ClashX Meta, both marked "Discontinued," still offer archived builds for download and will run fine in the short term, but they no longer receive feature updates or bug fixes, and nobody's addressing compatibility issues with newer OS versions. New users should pick the recommended client for the same platform; existing users can migrate their config and subscriptions by following the steps on the tutorial page.
Open the client's config or subscription page, paste the subscription link from your provider, update it, pick rule mode and an available node, then turn on the system proxy. Full steps are on the tutorial page, laid out per platform for importing, selecting nodes, and verifying connectivity; for import failures, see the matching section of troubleshooting.
