Hako is a proxy kernel based on mihomo v1.19.31, with Go bindings and build tooling for Apple applications. It produces Hako.xcframework for iOS, macOS and tvOS.
To install the official app, use the App Store link above. This repository is for developers building or integrating the kernel.
Hako is an independent derivative of MetaCubeX/mihomo, based on v1.19.31, commit ab405bad5beeeac8b003bb01f60f134f6df54471. It is not affiliated with MetaCubeX. The upstream project asks unaffiliated downstream projects not to use “mihomo” in their names.
This repository preserves the original upstream commits and contributor identities alongside Hako's existing public history. Stable upstream upgrades are recorded as merge commits: the first parent continues Hako's history and the second points to the official upstream commit. Hako changes continue as incremental commits for separate logical changes. Compare the upstream baseline with a Hako revision to inspect the complete delta, including Apple bindings, SDK build tooling and kernel adaptations.
The upstream GPL-3.0 license remains in LICENSE. See NOTICE and THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md for attribution and dependency licenses.
| Repository | Contents |

The upstream baseline version describes the proxy engine. It is separate from the App Store app version and the SDK release tag. Untagged source on main is pre-release; pin a specific revision when integrating it. Published SDK versions and downloads are listed in Releases.
SDK downloads include all five Apple slices, license notices and a source manifest. Each release also provides the notices separately, the source archive for the embedded EasyTier core used by macOS, and SHA256SUMS for checking downloaded assets.
- The mihomo-based proxy engine: protocol implementations, DNS, routing rules, proxy groups and providers.
bind/hako: the API exposed to Apple applications through gomobile.cmd/build_libbox: SDK generation and platform packaging.docs/config.yaml: configuration reference included with the source.
An application supplies configuration, storage, the Network Extension integration and signing. Platform capabilities differ; a configuration accepted by the parser does not establish end-to-end support for every protocol or rule on every platform.
The iOS and tvOS SDK slices use no_easytier and do not include EasyTier. The macOS slice does not apply that exclusion. Platform permissions, TUN stacks and outbound implementations still determine what is available at runtime.
Use macOS with the full Xcode installation and the iOS, macOS and tvOS SDKs. The current build was checked with Xcode 27.0. The binding module declares Go 1.25.0 and selects toolchain Go 1.26.6 in bind/hako/go.mod; allow Go to obtain that toolchain, or install it explicitly.
Clone the repository with its history and tags, then install the pinned gomobile tools:
git clone https://github.com/TokenPLS/Hako.git
cd Hako
go install github.com/sagernet/gomobile/cmd/gomobile@v0.1.13
go install github.com/sagernet/gomobile/cmd/gobind@v0.1.13
make lib_appleThe core version comes from UPSTREAM_VERSION, shipped with the source, so a source upgrade does not inherit an older SDK tag. The SDK release version still comes from a release tag at the current commit; ordinary source builds are labeled dev-<commit>.
The output is Hako.xcframework, containing five platform slices:
| Platform | Architectures |
|---|---|
| iOS device | arm64 |
| iOS Simulator | arm64, x86_64 |
| macOS | arm64, x86_64 |
| tvOS device | arm64 |
| tvOS Simulator | arm64, x86_64 |
The SDK framework is static: choose Do Not Embed when linking it directly, and link libresolv. An app and its extension can share a dynamic framework wrapping the static SDK to avoid packaging the kernel twice; the iOS and macOS Client projects use this arrangement. Use the generated headers for the API of your pinned revision. For a working application integration, see Hako-Client.
For the root Go module:
go build ./...
go test ./...The Apple binding has its own module and tests under bind/hako. An SDK build alone does not establish runtime behavior on a signed device.
Report kernel problems in this repository's Issues. Include the source revision, platform, reproduction steps, expected behavior and observed result. Use a minimal sample configuration with secrets removed. For app interface or installation problems, use Hako-Client Issues.
