JichangDarenFlClash Download and Setup: Official Site, GitHub Installers, Android and Desktop Files, Fixes
If you searched for flclash, flclash download, the official site, or flclash github (or typed fclash, ficlash or flcash), two things first: the site the project itself lists is chen08209.github.io/FlClash, and installers ship only on GitHub; there is no iPhone version. This page covers the sources, which file to pick per platform, importing a subscription, what to check when it won't open, and which provider to use with FlClash.
Facts verified: 10/7/2026 · Reviewed by DaRen
The short answer
FlClash is a multi-platform proxy client based on Clash Meta (the mihomo core) for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, open source (GPL-3.0) — its README calls it "simple to use, open source and ad-free". It is one of the most-used Clash clients on Android, and phone and desktop can share one provider subscription. The website the project lists in its README and repository is chen08209.github.io/FlClash; installers ship only on GitHub Releases, with a SHA256SUMS file on each release. The flclash.dev domain that shows up in search is not among the channels the project lists — more on that below. There is no iPhone version.
Which sources are official, and which are not
"Official site" and "official download" dominate this search family, and there is a domain that looks very much like an official site, so sort them out first.
| Source | Official? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Releases (chen08209/FlClash) | Yes (the only release channel) | Installers for every platform, with SHA256SUMS on the same page to check a file has not been altered. |
| chen08209.github.io/FlClash | Yes (the site the project lists) | Named as the website in the README; in its words it "picks the right file for your device", and its buttons point to GitHub too. |
| F-Droid repository (chen08209.github.io/FlClash-fdroid-repo) | Yes | The project's own F-Droid repo, fingerprint published in the README, for installing and updating on Android. |
| Homebrew (macOS) | Yes | Listed in the README: brew tap chen08209/tap, then brew install --cask flclash. |
| flclash.dev | Not listed by the project | Presents itself as the FlClash site; the footer says only "Made with ♥ by Open Source Community"; neither the README nor the repository mentions it, and who runs it cannot be verified. Its download buttons point to GitHub but were one version behind when checked. To download, go straight to the GitHub release page above. |
| Google Play / app stores | No | Neither the README nor the site lists any app-store channel. |
Is there an iPhone version? — No
FlClash exists for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux only; neither the README nor the site mentions iOS. See the Shadowrocket page for iPhone; the subscription link is the same one, so no need to ask your provider for another.
Requirements by platform, and which file to pick
Version numbers are left out on purpose — the GitHub release page is the reference. After downloading, you can check the hash against SHA256SUMS on the same page; that is the verification the project itself provides.
| Platform | Minimum | Which file |
|---|---|---|
| Android | Not stated in the README | arm64-v8a is the one most phones need; armeabi-v7a only for older devices; x86_64 is rarely needed. The project's F-Droid repo works for installing and updating too. |
| Windows | 10 or later | Installer .exe or portable .zip, in x64 and ARM64; in the README's words, pick ARM64 on Snapdragon and other ARM laptops, x64 otherwise. |
| macOS | 12 or later | Separate .dmg for Apple silicon and Intel; Homebrew works too. Unsure which chip: Apple menu → About This Mac. |
| Linux | Not stated in the README | AppImage, deb and rpm, each in amd64 and arm64. |
FlClash setup: import a subscription and connect
- 1
Get the link
- Copy it from your provider's dashboard, or ask support
- App-only providers have no such link
- 2
Import
- Add a profile → paste the subscription link → save
- Wait for the node list to appear
- 3
Connect
- Pick a node and turn it on
- Enable TUN only when you need to capture all traffic
Menu names change between versions; follow the interface in the version you installed.
FlClash won't open or install — what to check first
To be clear: neither the README nor the project site has a FAQ for "won't open"; the official support channel is GitHub Issues. Going by the project's own install guidance, these are the three things worth ruling out first, before searching Issues for the same symptom.
- Wrong architecture. Windows: Intel / AMD machines need x64, Snapdragon and other ARM laptops need ARM64, and the wrong one will not install. Android: most phones are arm64-v8a; only older devices are armeabi-v7a.
- Incomplete or altered download. Check the hash against SHA256SUMS on the release page; if it does not match, download again from GitHub, not from a "download site" in search results.
- If the Windows installer will not install, the same page has the portable .zip — both are official releases, and the zip just unpacks and runs.

FlClash can only import a provider's subscription link: to use it, pick one that issues a link; to skip the hassle, pick one with its own app. 10 of the 16 providers we list offer only their own dedicated app, so FlClash can't use them.

FlClash FAQ
FlClash download and use
What is FlClash?
A multi-platform proxy client based on Clash Meta (the mihomo core) for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, open source (GPL-3.0) and ad-free. It supplies no routes of its own — you import a provider's subscription link — and phone and desktop can share one subscription.
What is FlClash's official site?
The website the project lists in its README and repository is chen08209.github.io/FlClash, and installers ship only on GitHub Releases. The flclash.dev domain seen in search is not listed by the project and who runs it cannot be verified; to download, go straight to the GitHub release page.
Is there an iPhone version of FlClash?
No. The README and the site list only Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. For iPhone clients see the Shadowrocket page; the same subscription link works.
What are fclash, ficlash and flcash?
Misspellings of FlClash — no software goes by those names. Results for "fclash download" or "ficlash official site" lead either to FlClash itself or to unrelated third-party sites; the one repository to trust is chen08209/FlClash on GitHub.
FlClash or Clash Verge?
On Android it is FlClash only (Clash Verge has no mobile version). On desktop either works: both run the mihomo core and read the same Clash subscription, so switching needs no new link from your provider. The desktop comparison is on the Clash client downloads page.
Will FlClash definitely work with the service I bought?
Not necessarily. FlClash only imports generic subscription links; a provider that works only in its own app has no such link. Among providers that do issue a link, whether FlClash accepts the format is for the provider to confirm — ask support before you buy.
