Clash Verge Rev

Clash Verge Rev is a free desktop graphical client for the embedded Mihomo (Clash.Meta) proxy core. Built with Rust and Tauri 2, it continues the original Clash Verge project and suits users who need to manage proxy profiles, routing rules and connection behavior from a desktop interface.

Profiles and routing

Import a local configuration or a subscription URL supplied by a provider you trust. The interface offers proxy groups, node and rule editors, connection views, logs and configuration syntax assistance. Merge and Script helpers extend profiles; DNS overrides and application settings have defined precedence. Themes, tray controls and WebDAV configuration backup and synchronization are available. WebDAV requires your own server and credentials.

Rev is the graphical application; Mihomo performs the proxy and tunnel processing. The packaged core can use the supported stable or Alpha channel. An Alpha core or rolling application build can have experimental behavior. This package is not the original discontinued Clash Verge application and is not a standalone subscription or a VPN provider. It does not include purchased proxy nodes, a traffic allowance or a guarantee that every website or application will work through a proxy.

System proxy, service mode and TUN

System proxy controls change macOS proxy settings for applications that honor those settings. Applications with their own proxy behavior may require separate configuration. TUN uses a virtual network interface and routing to handle broader traffic; its behavior depends on the profile, DNS settings, permissions and other network software. The official Mac FAQ states that enabling TUN changes system DNS and disabling it restores the previous DNS settings.

Installing or repairing the system service and changing protected network settings can require administrator authorization. Service mode and its background startup item must be allowed to operate; corporate security policy can prevent installation or startup. Review the requested operation with your administrator rather than granting unrelated permissions or disabling security controls. The project does not document Screen Recording or Accessibility as general prerequisites for proxy operation. Do not run competing Clash Verge instances or multiple tools controlling the same proxy ports, TUN interface or DNS settings. Existing VPNs can also affect startup and network readiness.

Installation and platforms

For macOS, install the clash-verge-rev Cask or download the official DMG matching your CPU, then place Clash Verge.app in Applications. Version 2.5.7 provides separate aarch64 Apple Silicon and x64 Intel downloads. The Apple Silicon DMG is 81,173,010 bytes by official HTTP HEAD; this is archive size, not installed disk usage. Quit an existing Verge instance before replacing it, and distinguish the Rev application from an original Clash Verge installation to avoid duplicate instances and application-path conflicts.

The tagged main README lists macOS 11 or later, while its English translation still says macOS 10.15 or later. Use macOS 11 or later as the conservative documented requirement; the Cask itself declares no numeric minimum. The project also supplies separate Windows and Linux installers; the Mac DMG is not their installer. Windows 7 is no longer supported according to these release pages. The bundled client includes its core rather than requiring a separately installed command-line Mihomo formula.

Accounts, costs, privacy and license

The application is free and distributed under GPL-3.0, not a proprietary paid client. Its maintainers do not require a project account or registration. Donations are optional. A proxy provider, subscription, WebDAV service or other endpoint may require its own account and charge separately; promotional provider links do not make their service part of the free application license.

The project's privacy policy states that it has no telemetry or analytics and keeps configurations, credentials and logs in local plain files. Connections can still reach configured proxy, subscription and backup endpoints, plus third-party services described in that policy. Update checks and the home-page IP information card are enabled by default. Providers and network endpoints have their own privacy terms; proxy use alone does not guarantee anonymity. Subscription URLs can contain access tokens, so treat them as credentials and avoid exposing them in screenshots, shared logs or public configuration exports. Review scripts and remote profiles before using them, and use proxy services and network access in accordance with applicable rules.
