README
Project Overview
NekoBox for Android is a Kotlin Android proxy GUI by MatsuriDayo, 23K stars. It runs sing-box natively — not a Clash shim. Protocol coverage is broader than most Android proxy apps: VLESS / VMess / Shadowsocks / Trojan / Hysteria2 / TUIC / SOCKS5 / HTTP, plus Reality and XTLS. Config is native sing-box JSON. Import subscriptions in SingBox / Clash / SS / V2Ray — all convert to sing-box.

- sing-box-box-service: uses Android VPN Service via companion
- Custom kernel path: settings let you point to a self-compiled sing-box binary

- People running modern protocols like VLESS / Hysteria2 / TUIC
- Geeks migrating from Clash to sing-box

Notes
- Not Clash for Android: different core entirely; Clash import is best-effort
- Custom kernel: build sing-box yourself and point settings at it
- GitHub main / Gitee mirror: GitHub main repo gets updates first
