Using Clash / Mihomo profiles on iOS

Why there is no official iOS client, and how to pick and set up compatible apps like Shadowrocket and Stash.

Who it is for

People on iPhone or iPad who want to import Clash / Mihomo format profiles.

Know first

There is no official Clash or Mihomo client on iOS, by platform limitation
Some compatible apps are not in every App Store region
You have a working subscription URL

How to set it up

1
Understand the premise: iOS does not expose the same integration desktops get, so the Mihomo core has no iOS client build. That is a platform restriction, not a missing project.
2
Pick a compatible app: third-party apps such as Shadowrocket and Stash can import Clash / Mihomo format profiles or subscriptions. They are independent commercial apps with no affiliation to the Clash or Mihomo projects.
3
Download from the App Store: search the full app name and check the developer. Shadowrocket and Stash are paid apps, often unavailable in some storefronts and requiring an Apple ID for another region.
4
Importing works like desktop: paste the subscription URL or import a YAML profile. Most rule syntax carries over; a few advanced features depend on what each app supports.
5
Grant the VPN configuration when prompted, test a web page, then adjust rules as needed.

Common issues

The app does not appear in App Store search

Many compatible apps are not available in every storefront. Before switching regions, learn that region’s account and payment requirements. This site neither provides nor endorses any account sources.

Rules behave differently after import

Each app’s rule engine is not identical to Mihomo. Confirm the app version supports the syntax, then compare against the app’s own documentation.

Next step

If the import fails, read the subscription import guide for general troubleshooting.
