Versions:
BoxPilot is a graphical user interface manager for the sing-box proxy program, developed and maintained by the BoxPilot Contributors. The software is currently at version 1.13.5, with a total of five versions released over its development history, indicating an active and evolving project that has progressed through multiple iterations of refinement and feature development. The core purpose of BoxPilot is to provide a visual, point-and-click management layer on top of sing-box, a proxy platform that is otherwise typically configured and operated through text-based configuration files and command-line interaction. By wrapping this functionality in a graphical interface, BoxPilot aims to make the underlying proxy program more approachable and manageable for users who prefer or require a desktop-style workflow rather than manual file editing and terminal commands. Within a software catalog, BoxPilot falls into the network utilities and proxy client category, and more specifically into the subcategory of GUI frontends or configuration managers for proxy cores. Its primary use cases center on the day-to-day operation of sing-box: organizing and switching between proxy configurations, monitoring the state of the proxy program, and adjusting operational settings through visual controls instead of raw configuration syntax. This makes it relevant to users who rely on sing-box as their proxy solution and want a centralized place to oversee its behavior without leaving the desktop environment. As a community-driven project attributed to the BoxPilot Contributors rather than a commercial publisher, it reflects the common open-source pattern in which a graphical companion tool is built around an existing command-line-oriented networking core. The current release, version 1.13.5, represents the most recent point in a five-version release line, and users evaluating the software for catalog purposes should treat that version as the reference build for compatibility and feature considerations. Overall, BoxPilot occupies a focused niche: it does not replace sing-box but complements it, serving as the management interface through which the proxy program can be more conveniently controlled and administered.
