Mobile / Android
Android downloads
Most recent phones use the arm64 architecture. The first time you connect, Android will ask you to authorize the VPN connection. This lets the client route traffic through the system VpnService. If the connection drops when the screen locks, check battery optimization and background app settings.

Command-line and device deployment
mihomo core downloads by architecture
mihomo is a command-line core for servers, routers, and users who maintain their own config files. It is not a desktop app with Configuration and Proxy pages. For everyday use—importing subscriptions and switching proxy modes—choose the GUI client for your platform above.
Before downloading, check the operating system and CPU architecture on the target device. On Linux, run uname -m to check the architecture. ZIP archives must be unpacked and used with a config file you provide; install DEB packages with the appropriate package manager. Startup and service management vary by device, so keep a copy of your existing configuration before deployment.
| System | Architecture | Package format | Download |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | AMD64 | ZIP | Download AMD64 |
| Windows | ARM64 | ZIP | Download ARM64 |
| macOS | Intel | GZ | Download Intel |

Installation help
Common download and installation questions
First check for differences in architecture, package format, and config source. Then troubleshoot the client’s connection settings.
Windows: installer or ZIP archive?
For everyday use, choose the x64 installer. The ZIP archive is better if you prefer to unpack and manage the app directory yourself. You’ll still need to import your own subscription after launching the app. When migrating from an older client, save your subscription URL first; don’t treat the old app directory as the new client’s config directory.
How do I tell whether my Mac has an Intel processor or Apple Silicon?
Open About This Mac from the Apple menu and check the chip or processor details. Choose Apple Silicon for an Apple M-series device, or Intel for an Intel-based Mac. Some clients on this page currently link to the same DMG for both options, so check the architecture shown in the file details before installing.
Which Android build should I choose: arm64, arm, or universal?
Most recent Android phones use arm64. If you’re unsure of your device’s architecture, choose the universal build of Clash Meta for Android. Choose arm for older 32-bit devices. If the connection drops when the screen locks, check VpnService permission, battery optimization, and background app settings instead of repeatedly downloading the same architecture.
Do I need a subscription after downloading the client?
Yes. The client installer does not include a working proxy configuration. After launching the app, import your existing subscription link or config file from the Configuration page, then choose a rules mode and enable the appropriate system proxy settings. For your first setup, follow the Getting Started guide to import a config, choose a mode, and check the connection.
What’s the difference between the mihomo core and a GUI client?
mihomo is a command-line core for servers, routers, and users who manage config files themselves. You’ll need to provide a config, handle permissions, and decide how to start it. For everyday desktop and mobile use, start with the GUI client for your platform. For help with rule sets, DNS, or TUN, see the Advanced Config guide.
