# Shadowrocket

Updated: 2026

{% hint style="warning" %}
Shadowrocket is a **third-party paid app (\~$3)**. However, it is very stable and regularly updated. If you have the ability, we recommend purchasing your own copy from the app store. It requires a non-Chinese Apple ID.

Once purchased, you can also install it on your iOS devices (iPhone/iPads).
