armcord/README.md

ArmCord is a custom client designed to enhance your Discord experience while keeping everything lightweight.

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 Vencord, Shelter 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!
