Why the Shtil app is the size it is

Most of the size: the core

The connection is held by the sing-box core, a separate program inside the app. It ships whole in the installer, so the app works right after installing.

«We'll download the core later» saves disk space only until the day there is nowhere to download it from.

Route lists are inside too

Traffic splitting relies on address lists: what goes directly and what goes through the VPN. Many clients fetch these lists at startup. Ours are built in: an unreachable list address cannot stop the connection.

Why phones and TVs get different files

• For a phone, shtil.vip/get serves the build for its processor, usually 64-bit.
• For a TV, shtil.vip/tv serves the 32-bit build: it installs on any set-top box.
• An app store picks the right part for the device; we hand out files directly, so the address makes the choice for you.
