What Is ClashX?

ClashX is an open-source proxy configuration client for macOS. It provides a native menu-bar interface to manage rule-based proxy configurations powered by the Clash core engine.

ClashX is not a VPN service. It does not provide servers, sell subscriptions, or route traffic through its own infrastructure. It is a local client tool that reads user-supplied YAML configuration files to manage proxy rules on your Mac.

Key distinction: ClashX is a proxy configuration tool — similar to how a web browser manages bookmarks, ClashX manages proxy rules. You supply your own proxy server details; ClashX simply applies the routing logic locally.
