Check your system version first. HarmonyOS 4 and earlier can still install Android apps, so Clash Meta for Android is simpler. On HarmonyOS NEXT, if you'd rather not sideload, use ZhuoYiTong to install Clash.

Download

Clash Box is published on its official GitHub releases page as an unsigned .hap file (the file name contains unsigned.hap). You need to sign it yourself and sideload it.

Download Clash Box from GitHub: the official releases page, always the latest version.

Sideloading

Clash Box isn't listed in Huawei AppGallery for mainland China. If you can find it in your region's AppGallery, install it from there. Otherwise, use a computer to sign the .hap and sideload it onto your phone. The project recommends Auto-installer or DevEco Testing for signing and installing; follow each tool's own instructions.

  • Signing needs a mainland China IP: Huawei's signing server rejects requests from outside mainland China. If you're signing from abroad, switch to a mainland China network first.
  • Certificate validity: self-signed apps are valid for 14 days by default, or 180 days after developer identity verification. When the certificate expires, sign and install again.

Setup

Clash Box is only a client and does not include any servers. Sign in to your provider's dashboard and copy your subscription link.

Need a subscription? See these subscription plans (third-party affiliate link; check the details before you buy). Treat your subscription link like a password and don't share it.

Add a profile

Open Clash Box, tap the Profiles tab at the bottom, tap + in the bottom-right corner, paste the subscription link, and save.

Start the proxy

Go back to Home, set the routing mode to Rule, and tap the button in the bottom-right corner to start. Allow the VPN permission request the first time. When the button starts a timer, you're connected.
