Clash Traffic Detective
See exactly which apps and sites eat your proxy traffic
- Problem
- Proxy subscription quotas quietly vanish every month. Clash Verge's connections page only shows currently open connections, keeps no history, and offers no daily or per-app breakdown, so users can only guess which app or domain burned the traffic.
- Solution
- A local daemon polls the Clash kernel every second, aggregates connection snapshots into SQLite, and reports traffic by app (merging child processes like Chrome Helper), by root domain, and by node/subscription, separating proxied from direct traffic with daily/weekly comparisons.
- Users
- Self-hosted Clash/Clash Verge users, proxy subscription buyers, and developers or small teams who need traffic accountability
- MVP
- Support only Clash Verge; aggregate by app and by site daily/weekly; separate proxy vs direct; store everything locally; ship one overview dashboard
- Revenue
- Free open-source core plus a one-time Pro license (multi-subscription comparison, quota alerts, CSV export); sponsorships or affiliate deals with proxy providers
- Why now
- The Clash user base is large but its official views are thin, and traffic aggregation needs no cloud infrastructure, so a solo dev can ship it in a couple of weekends; the more people self-host proxies, the more they care where bytes go
