V2Mac

Paste a subscription link, pick a server, and you have a local SOCKS5 + HTTP proxy, or turn on TUN mode to send the whole Mac through it. V2Mac is a free, open-source v2rayN / V2RayX alternative for macOS, written natively in SwiftUI with Liquid Glass. No Electron, no analytics, no telemetry.

Install

Requires macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon.

brew install --cask v2macapp/tap/v2mac

Or download the DMG from the latest release. It is not notarized: on first launch use Open Anyway in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Details in the installation guide. After that V2Mac updates itself: it downloads only the files that changed and installs them when you quit.

Quick start: click Add Subscription and paste your link, double-click a server, then use 127.0.0.1:10808 (SOCKS5 / HTTP) or switch on System Proxy or TUN.

Features

• Protocols: VLESS (REALITY, XTLS Vision), VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, WireGuard, SOCKS, HTTP and full Xray JSON configs.
• Subscriptions: auto-update, usage and expiry, favorites, QR and one-click import, a full server editor.
• Connection: real-delay and speed tests, automatic server selection, live switching without a restart, exit country in the menu bar.
• Whole-Mac modes: TUN, system proxy and a pf-based kill switch.
• Routing: Global, Bypass regions (Iran, China, Russia), Rules Only and Direct, plus Proxy / Direct / Block rules by site and by app.
• Proxifier alternative: per-app rules with "Only when" conditions, rules via another server or group, .ppx profile import and a live Connections view.
• Cloudflare WARP: as its own server or chained behind yours.
• Secure Sandbox (beta): run apps in mini VMs, each with its own server and fail-closed, every app as its own Mac app. Downloaded only when you first open it.
• macOS: menu bar panel, Shortcuts, Siri, Spotlight, Control Center, a desktop widget, Apple Intelligence domain suggestions, Touch ID, notifications, backup and restore. English, Persian, Chinese and Russian.
