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-core Android proxy GUI. Eight protocols covered, four subscription formats auto-convert.

Key Features

  • Eight protocols: VLESS / VMess / Shadowsocks / Trojan / Hysteria2 / TUIC / SOCKS5 / HTTP
  • Reality + XTLS: Reality and XTLS-Vision / XTLS-Reality both supported
  • Four subscription formats: SingBox / Clash / SS / V2Ray — all convert to sing-box
  • Native sing-box drive: no compatibility shim, drives the binary directly
  • sing-box-box-service: uses Android VPN Service via companion
  • Custom kernel path: settings let you point to a self-compiled sing-box binary

Target Audience

  • Android users wanting native sing-box
  • People running modern protocols like VLESS / Hysteria2 / TUIC
  • Geeks migrating from Clash to sing-box

Quick Start

  1. Download NekoBoxForAndroid.apk from Releases (three architectures)
  2. Install → first launch grants VPN permission
  3. Add config: paste sing-box JSON / import subscription URL / import from file
  4. Pick a node → tap the start button at bottom-right

Core Advantages

  • Native sing-box core: not a Clash shim — runs the binary directly
  • Broadest protocol coverage: eight protocols + Reality + XTLS
  • Four-way subscription conversion: Clash / SS / V2Ray import, all become sing-box

System Requirements

Item Requirement
OS Android
Architectures arm64-v8a / armeabi-v7a / x86_64
Perm Android VPN Service

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
