NekoBox for Android and PC

Where to download NekoBox safely, how to add a subscription, and what to install on Windows now that NekoBox for PC is discontinued.

Updated October 6, 2026 · Vetryx team

What NekoBox is

NekoBox for Android is a free, open-source client on sing-box (Android 5+). It supports VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria 1/2, TUIC, WireGuard, SSH and more, and accepts keys and subscriptions.

Download — not from Google Play

The NekoBox developers state that the Google Play version has been controlled by a third party since May 2024 and is closed source. Download it from the NekoBox GitHub releases page — the arm64-v8a APK for most phones, armeabi-v7a for old 32-bit ones.

Adding a subscription

  1. Create a subscription groupOpen groups, tap +, choose the subscription type and paste your URL. Save.
  2. Update the groupNekoBox loads the servers.
  3. ConnectPick a server and tap the round connect button. Allow the VPN on first use.

Single keys: + on the main screen → import from clipboard.

NekoBox for PC: what to use instead

NekoBox for PC (also known as NekoRay) is discontinued — its repository is archived and the developers suggest finding an alternative. The closest replacement is Throne, also built on sing-box, for Windows 11/10/8/7, Linux and macOS (Throne on GitHub; Windows has a universal installer). macOS builds are unsigned, so macOS blocks the first launch until you allow it.

Simpler options for desktop: Happ, Hiddify, v2rayN — or the Vetryx app for a Vetryx subscription.

A subscription for NekoBox and Throne. Vetryx works in both: four protocols and servers in Europe, Asia and the US. See pricing.
