Free for life

Cloak Proxy is free for life. There’s no trial period, no license key, no paid tier and no account to create. Every feature in these docs is in the app you download.

What free for life means

Price	Free. No subscription and no one-time fee.
Trial	None. Nothing expires and nothing locks after a number of days.
License key	None. The app never asks you to activate it.
Account	None. You don’t sign in to use any feature.
Feature limits	None. The proxy, every debugging tool, Insights, the API client, cloakctl and the MCP server are all included.

The download page at subcloak.com/apps/cloak-proxy asks for your name and email address before the download starts. The app itself doesn’t contact Subcloak: it has no sign-in, license check or activation.

What’s included

The API client is part of the same free app as the proxy.

Everything runs on your Mac

Cloak Proxy has no servers of its own. Captured traffic, rules, settings, the root certificate and your API client workspace all stay on your Mac. Traffic leaves your Mac only to reach its real destination, and data goes elsewhere only when you choose to, for example when you publish a Gist.

Because of that, Cloak Proxy doesn’t offer hosted features. Use these instead:

Hosted feature in other tools	In Cloak Proxy
Sharing logs online or cloud storage for sessions	Save sessions, export HAR, or publish a Gist
Team workspaces and synced rules	Export and import rules as JSON, and keep the API client workspace in a Git repository
