Features

• Standalone client

  Legcord is built as a standalone client and doesn't rely on the original Discord client in any way.

• Various mods built-in

  Enjoy Vencord, Equicord, Shelter and their many features, or have a more vanilla experience, it's your choice!

• Themes

  Legcord natively supports theming of the entire app, you can easily import BetterDiscord themes and manage them

• Made for Privacy™

  Legcord automatically blocks all of Discord's trackers; even without any client mods, you can feel safe and secure!

• Supports Rich Presence

  Unlike other clients, Legcord supports rich presence (game activity) out of the box thanks to arRPC.

• Mobile support

  Legcord has experimental mobile support for phones running Linux such as the PinePhone. While this is still far from an ideal solution, we're slowly trying to improve it.

• Much more stable

  Legcord is using a newer build of Electron than the stock Discord app. This means you can have a much more stable and secure experience, along with slightly better performance.

• Cross-platform support!

  Legcord was originally created for AArch64 Linux devices since Discord doesn't support them. We soon decided to support every platform that Electron supports!
