Getting started

How to install Psykotic on each platform.
Platforms
| Platform | Package | How it connects |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone & iPad | App Store | Network Extension (packet tunnel) |
| Android | Google Play / APK | Android VpnService |
| macOS | .dmg (Apple silicon / Intel) | System proxy |
| Windows 10 / 11 | .exe installer (x64) | Full tunnel (Wintun) or system proxy |
iPhone & iPad
Install from the App Store
Search for “Psykotic” or use the link on the Welcome page.
Add a server
Scan a QR code, paste from the clipboard or paste text. See Subscriptions.
Allow the VPN configuration
On first connect iOS asks to Add VPN Configurations. Tap Allow and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode — it’s needed only once.
Android
Install from Google Play or the APK
For the APK, allow installation from your browser or file manager when Android asks.
Add a server and connect
On first connect Android asks for permission to set up a VPN connection — tap OK. Camera access is requested only when you scan a QR code.
macOS
Open the .dmg and drag Psykotic to Applications
Choose the Apple silicon build for M-series Macs, Intel for older ones ( → About This Mac).
Allow the first launch
If macOS says it can’t verify the app, click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. After that the app opens normally.
If macOS reports the app as “damaged”, run xattr -cr /Applications/Psykotic.app in Terminal and open it again.
Windows
Run the installer
It installs for the current user, no admin rights needed. Xray and Wintun are already included. WebView2 is downloaded automatically if missing.
Allow SmartScreen
If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”, click More info → Run anyway.
Allow admin rights on launch
The app asks for administrator rights (UAC) to enable the full tunnel. Without them it connects via system proxy.
Uninstall
Delete the app as usual. On iPhone and Android the VPN profile is removed with it; on desktop the proxy and tunnel are removed when the app exits.
