Vesktop

Vesktop is a free, open-source Discord desktop client designed to deliver improved performance, enhanced privacy, and better Linux compatibility compared to the official Discord application. Built as a lightweight alternative, Vesktop provides access to Discord's messaging, voice chat, servers, and community features through a customized desktop interface. The application comes with Vencord preinstalled, allowing users to customize their Discord experience with plugins, themes, and additional functionality. Vesktop offers improved screen sharing capabilities on Linux, including support for audio sharing and Wayland desktop environments. It also provides additional privacy protections by limiting Discord's direct access to the operating system and reducing unnecessary system interactions. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Vesktop is designed for Discord users who want a faster, more customizable, and privacy-focused desktop experience.
