Many VPN apps look and feel different on each platform. Some are clearly built for one device and awkwardly crammed onto others. The Mac version feels like a blown-up phone app. The Windows version drains your battery. The Android app crashes after system updates.
RelyVPN is different. We build a dedicated, native app for each platform — not a copy-paste, not a wrapper. The result: the app feels like it belongs on your device, whether you are on an iPhone, a MacBook, an Android phone, a Windows PC, or even an Apple Vision Pro.
Why a "Real" App Matters
A VPN handles all your internet traffic. If it is not deeply integrated with your operating system, you will notice the problems immediately:
- Battery drain. A poorly built VPN can eat 20-30% extra battery per day. A native one runs quietly in the background — you forget it is there.
- Connection drops. If the VPN runs as a simple background process, your phone or laptop can kill it to save memory. A native VPN uses the system's own VPN service, which the OS keeps alive — even when you switch apps, lock the screen, or close the lid.
- Speed. Native integration means less overhead and faster data transfer. Your browsing, streaming, and video calls stay smooth.
- System features. Quick controls in the macOS menu bar, the Android quick settings panel, or the Windows system tray — without opening the app.
iPhone & iPad
RelyVPN is built with Apple's official VPN framework, the same technology Apple itself uses. This means:
- The VPN stays connected even when the app is in the background or the screen is off
- iOS handles reconnection automatically when you switch between WiFi and cellular
- Works with low-power mode — no extra battery drain
- Shows up in the iOS VPN settings panel, just like a built-in feature
One download from the App Store works on iPhone, iPad, and iPad mini. No separate apps needed.
Mac
On Mac, RelyVPN runs as a system-level service approved by Apple. This is important because it means:
- The VPN keeps running even if you close the app window
- It can start automatically at login — you are protected the moment your Mac boots up
- No security warnings, no kernel extensions — fully Apple-approved
The app lives in your menu bar for quick access. Connect, disconnect, or switch servers with one click, without leaving what you are doing. Supports all modern Macs — Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel.
Apple Vision Pro
RelyVPN is one of the first VPN apps with native Vision Pro support. Not an iPad app running in compatibility mode — a real visionOS app you install directly from the App Store.
Whether you are streaming content in a virtual theater, browsing the web in spatial windows, or using Vision Pro for work, your connection is encrypted and your privacy protected. Same reliability as on iPhone, with an interface designed for spatial computing.

Android
RelyVPN on Android is built specifically for the Android ecosystem — not a port from another platform. Key features:
- Always-on connection: The VPN runs as a persistent service that Android keeps alive, so your connection does not drop when switching apps or during sleep
- Split tunneling: Choose which apps use the VPN and which connect directly. Great for banking apps, food delivery, or local services that block VPN traffic
- Direct APK download: No Google Play needed. Download the APK directly from our website and install — perfect for users in China where the Play Store is blocked
- Follows Android design: Material Design 3 interface with support for Android's dynamic color themes
Windows
The Windows client is built for performance and convenience:
- System tray integration: Connect and switch servers from the taskbar without opening the full app
- Runs in the background: The VPN service persists even when you close the app window
- High-performance driver: Uses the same networking technology as WireGuard for fast, efficient packet processing
- Windows 10 & 11 supported (64-bit)
Download, unzip, and run — no complicated installer, no admin setup required for basic use.

No matter which device you use, RelyVPN gives you the same level of protection:

The VPN protocol is identical across all platforms. Your traffic is encrypted the same way, routed through the same global server network, and protected with the same proprietary protocol — whether you are on a phone, laptop, or headset.
One License, All Devices
RelyVPN uses a license key instead of a traditional account. No email, no password, no sign-up. One key works on up to 5 devices at the same time — any mix of platforms.
Use it on your iPhone during the commute, your Mac at the office, your Android tablet at home, and your Windows desktop for gaming — all connected simultaneously with the same license.
The free plan is permanent — not a trial. It works on one device with zero registration and never expires. Just download, open, and tap connect.
RelyVPN — Free Forever on Any Device
No registration. No email. Works on all platforms.
