<br>ArmCord is a custom Discord client designed to run smoother and enhance your Discord experience.
</div>
# Features
- **Standalone client**
ArmCord is built as a standalone client and doesn't rely on the original Discord client in anyway.
- **Various mods built in**
Enjoy Cumcord, GooseMod, Flicker, and their many features, or have a more vanilla experience, it's your choice!
- **Made for Privacy™**
ArmCord automatically blocks all of Discord's trackers; even without any client mods you can feel safe and secure!
- **Much more stable**
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.
- **Cross-platform support!**
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)!
