Clash Verge for Android? There Is No Official Android App — Use These Instead (FlClash / Clash Meta for Android)
If you’re searching for “Clash Verge for Android”, “Clash Verge Android download” or “Clash Verge APK”, here’s the straight answer first:
There is no official Android version of Clash Verge / Clash Verge Rev. It is a desktop client built on Tauri, available only for Windows, macOS and Linux — the official GitHub releases contain no APK.
But you’re not stuck — Android has excellent same-kernel, subscription-compatible alternatives. This page shows the right ones and how to switch.
Why there is no Clash Verge for Android #
- It’s the framework. Clash Verge is built with Tauri, a desktop GUI framework (it renders the UI via the system WebView). It targets Windows / macOS / Linux only and does not compile to Android.
- It’s the project scope. The official Clash Verge Rev repo has only ever shipped desktop installers (
.exe/.dmg/.deb/.rpm/.AppImage) — never an.apk.
So — any “Clash Verge for Android” you see online is not official.
⚠️ Beware third-party “Clash Verge APK” files #
Precisely because there’s no official Android build, packages advertised as “Clash Verge Android / cracked / modded APK” are repackaged by third parties and carry real risk:
- They may bundle backdoors, ads or miners.
- A proxy app can see all of your traffic — a poisoned build hands your data to a stranger.
- They may steal the subscription link you import (effectively hijacking your paid traffic).
Proxy clients are free, open-source software — there is no paid or “cracked” edition. On Android, use one of the two clients below, each with an official repo.
The correct Android alternatives (same kernel as Clash Verge) #
Key point: FlClash and Clash Meta for Android both run on the Mihomo (Clash.Meta) kernel — the same core as Clash Verge Rev — so subscription links and rule syntax are interchangeable, and migration is effectively free.
1. FlClash (top pick — closest to Clash Verge) #
- Repo: github.com/chen08209/FlClash
- Download: GitHub Releases
- Why: a cross-platform client built with Flutter (Android / Windows / macOS / Linux), modern and full-featured, with the experience closest to Clash Verge. Mihomo kernel with Hysteria2, VLESS Reality and TUIC support; no root required, per-app proxy, Material You theming.
- Requirement: Android 6.0+.
Which APK? Releases split the Android build by CPU architecture: pick
arm64-v8afor phones from 2018 onward;armeabi-v7ais only for old 32-bit devices.
2. Clash Meta for Android / CMFA (official) #
- Repo: github.com/MetaCubeX/ClashMetaForAndroid
- Download: GitHub Releases (first time, pick the build marked Latest)
- Why: maintained directly by the Mihomo kernel team (MetaCubeX); it is the official successor after the old Clash for Android stopped updating. Lighter and closest to the upstream kernel.
- Best for: users who want the most stable, upstream-tracking option.
The original Clash for Android (by Kr328) is discontinued — don’t install it; use one of the two above.
Move your desktop subscription to Android #
Because the kernel is the same, your subscription URL is reusable — no need to contact your provider:
- In desktop Clash Verge, open Profiles and copy the subscription URL (from the card menu’s “Edit / copy link”).
- Install FlClash or CMFA on your phone.
- Open the Android app → Profiles → Import from URL → paste the subscription link → download.
- Pick a node and flip the main switch on the home screen (the first time, Android prompts for VPN permission — allow it).
- Want custom rules? It works the same as on desktop — see How to add rules in Clash Verge.
