Versions:
Sparkle 1.26.2 by xishang0128 is a Windows desktop client that wraps the open-source Mihomo proxy kernel in a lightweight graphical interface, positioning itself in the Network Tools / Proxy category. Built as an alternative to other Mihomo front-ends, the application presents system proxy settings, rule-based traffic routing, and real-time connection statistics through a single window, eliminating the need for manual YAML editing. Users typically launch Sparkle to achieve split-tunnel access to foreign services, accelerate overseas game servers, or bypass regional restrictions while keeping domestic traffic direct. The GUI supports profile import from Clash-format subscriptions, automatic profile updates at custom intervals, and one-click switch between multiple remote configurations, making it suitable for travelers, expatriates, and developers who need fast IP location changes. Since its first public build, the project has passed eighteen iterative versions; the 1.26.2 release refines memory usage, adds hot-key support for silent proxy mode, and ships with an embedded Mihomo Core 1.18.5 for improved WireGuard compatibility. Portable and installer editions are offered in both x64 and arm64 flavors, allowing consistent operation on modern laptops and Surface tablets without additional runtimes. Sparkle is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
