About

  • With Privacy in mind: GoofCord blocks as much tracking as possible and uses multiple techniques like message encryption to improve your privacy and security. Learn more on the GitHub wiki
  • Fast and Performant: Noticeable speed and responsiveness improvement compared to the official client.
  • Standalone: GoofCord is a standalone client, not reliant on the original Discord client in any way.
  • Plugins & Themes support: Easily use client mods like Vencord, Equicord or Shelter for plugins and themes.
  • Global Keybinds: Set up keybinds and use them across the system.
  • Linux support: Seamless screen sharing with audio and native Wayland support on Linux.
