NekoBox for Android is a universal proxy client for Android that uses sing-box as its core engine.
The tool addresses the need for a flexible proxy solution on Android by wrapping the sing-box proxy toolchain in a native Android interface. It supports a wide range of proxy protocols including SOCKS, HTTP(S), SSH, Shadowsocks, VMess, Trojan, VLESS, WireGuard, Hysteria, and TUIC, with additional protocols available through optional plugins. The application can parse subscription formats from widely used sources such as Shadowsocks, ClashMeta, and v2rayN, extracting proxy node information while ignoring routing rules and other metadata.
Developers should choose this tool if they need a lightweight, protocol-rich proxy client for Android that prioritizes core proxy functionality over advanced routing features. It suits users who manage multiple proxy subscriptions and want a straightforward interface to switch between them. The project explicitly warns against downloading from Google Play, directing users to GitHub Releases for the open-source version instead.
Development activity shows consistent maintenance with regular updates communicated through a dedicated Telegram channel. The project maintains active documentation and a project homepage separate from the repository. The codebase is written in Kotlin and builds upon established Android proxy projects, integrating the sing-box core with a web dashboard interface adapted from existing open-source components.
