Clash Download: Five Platforms, One Ranked List

Runs as both a menu-bar icon and a main window, with separate Apple Silicon and Intel installers so you don't have to guess. Subscription management and rule-based routing match every other platform version exactly, so cross-device users start at zero learning cost; the system proxy and enhanced-mode toggles sit in plain sight, hard to miss even for beginners.

Shares its codebase with the Windows and Linux builds, and the macOS version handles the system proxy and TUN mode take-over just as smoothly, with a rule editor identical to the Windows build. Users who write their own rules and watch resource use will find this just as solid on Mac; the release cadence is steady enough for daily-driver use.

Shares one interface and config files with the Windows and Android builds; drag the dmg into Applications and you're done. A good fit for anyone bouncing between devices who wants the same muscle memory on phone and Mac; the layout is low-density and clean, especially pleasant for light use.

The Meta-core branch of ClashX and the poster child of menu-bar minimalism, long the default choice for Mac users: no Dock icon, no pop-ups, everything tucked into one menu-bar item. It's now discontinued, so existing users can grab the archived build to transition off it, while newcomers should pick one of the three still-updated clients above.

The mobile experience follows the same logic as desktop: import a subscription by QR code or pasted link, and switch nodes or modes right from the notification-shade quick panel. Background persistence is handled well, and most phones can just install the arm64 build; this is the least error-prone card for anyone setting up Clash on a phone for the first time.

A community-maintained veteran Android client with native mihomo core support; its config options map closely to core parameters, so overrides, DNS, and per-app proxying can all be fine-tuned. All three architecture builds are available, making it a favorite for power users; the UI is plain but logical, and it rewards anyone willing to read the docs.

The mobile UI is identical to the desktop version, with rule groups shown as cards and latency tests running through the whole batch with one tap. All three architecture builds are covered, including x86_64 tablets and emulators; anyone already using FlClash on a PC can install it on their phone and carry over the exact same habits.

An Android client compatible with the Clash subscription format, with a clean, straightforward interface - starting, stopping, and switching nodes all take one tap from the home screen. A good fit for anyone who just wants basic proxying and routing without digging into extra parameters; this page hosts a universal-architecture installer that works on both old and new devices.

The only answer on iOS: this is the App Store listing, so tapping the button jumps straight to the store detail page for installation, with updates handled by the store. The interface matches every other platform version - subscription import, mode switching, and rule-based routing all work the same way; it runs on both iPhone and iPad, closing the loop with the desktop version.

Currently the easiest choice on Linux desktop, with both deb and rpm packages covering the two major distro families; system tray, TUN mode, and launch-at-startup all have GUI toggles, so desktop users who'd rather avoid the terminal can start here. Configs are interchangeable with the Windows and macOS builds, so migrating across systems is just export then import.

This Flutter-based cross-platform tool runs just as reliably on Linux, with an interface identical to every other platform build and a deb package that installs in one command. Anyone already used to FlClash on phone or Windows can bring the exact same habits to Linux desktop; the low-density layout is comfortable for light use.
