Enjoy [Vencord](https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord), [Shelter](https://github.com/uwu/shelter) and their many features, or have a more vanilla experience, it's your choice!
ArmCord 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.
ArmCord 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.
ArmCord was originally created for ARM64 Linux devices since Discord doesn't support them. We soon decided to support every platform that [Electron supports](https://github.com/electron/electron#platform-support)!

ArmCord is available on our official repositories for `apt` package manager. By using this method you'll receive automatic updates and get all the dependencies. Run the following commands to install ArmCord from them:
- [armcord-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/armcord-git) - ArmCord Dev ~ Latest devbuild built from source (takes ~1 minute) using the system electron
Alternatively, you can run ArmCord from source ([NodeJS](https://nodejs.dev), [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation#using-npm), and [rust toolchain](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) are required):
- You are breaking [Discord ToS](https://discord.com/terms#software-in-discord%E2%80%99s-services) by using ArmCord, but no one has been banned from using it or any of the client mods included.
- Open Discord settings and there should be a button `ArmCord Settings` button with a white Discord icon, you can also right click on the tray icon and click `Open Settings`
- We are using the official web app and wrapping it up in Electron. While you may think this is lame and done like thousands of times before, what makes us unique is that we actually strive for creating a customized experience. You can very easily load themes and mods with no installers/injectors. You can even make the client have transparency effects and follow the fluent design of Windows! At its core, it's just a simple web wrapper, however, we applied many patches to make this work well for you <3
- Due to me not owning any macOS device, I can't easily debug/test or do anything related to it. Of course, VMs and Hackintosh machines exist but from my experience, these are unreliable or very time-consuming to set up and maintain. While ArmCord "works" on macOS you may encounter weird issues or inconsistencies with other apps in terms of how they behave (for example macOS lack of tray).
