Shade is a Mac app that helps you browse and use apps more reliably when your network is slow, picky, or blocking things. Everything is designed to be guided: you follow steps in the app instead of editing files by hand.

• A setup wizard — Shade asks simple questions and builds your settings for you.
• One place to turn it on or off — menu bar controls and a clear dashboard so you always know if Shade is active.
• “Full tunnel” when you need it — a stronger mode for apps that are fussy about how traffic leaves your Mac.
• Share your working setup — export a profile from a Mac that already works and import it on another Mac (or share with someone you trust) so nobody has to retype long settings.
• Phones and tablets — point a SOCKS app (for example v2box on iPhone or Android) at your Mac’s Shade connection when you want that device to use the same path.
• Stays responsive — Shade spreads work across multiple paths so one slow hop doesn’t ruin the whole session.
• Built-in ad blocking — blocks known ad and tracker domains through the proxy (on by default; turn off in Settings if a site misbehaves).
• Optional speed check — when the app offers it, you can run a quick test to find a snappier connection on difficult networks.

1. Install Shade — download the Mac app from GitHub Releases. You need macOS 13 or newer (Apple Silicon and Intel are both supported).
2. Open the app and start the Setup Wizard. Read each screen; it explains what to enter and checks that things look right before saving.
3. Finish the wizard — Shade writes your configuration automatically. You shouldn’t need to open config files for a normal setup.
4. Connect from the dashboard or menu bar. If the wizard suggested turning on the system proxy, do that when you’re ready to route your Mac’s traffic through Shade.
5. Optional: turn on full tunnel mode in the app if some apps still won’t connect the usual way.
6. Optional: use Share / Export to create a profile, then Import it on another Mac to copy the same working setup in a few taps.

If anything is unclear, use the in-app setup guide — it’s there to walk you through the same flow with pictures and reminders.
