Equicord
Equicord is a customizable Discord client mod featuring over 300 plugins for enhanced user experience.
What is Equicord?
Equicord is a fork of Vencord, a Discord client modification that adds over 300+ plugins to enhance the Discord desktop and web client experience. It allows users to customize their Discord interface and functionality with additional features not available in the official client. The project provides installation tools for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including both GUI and CLI options.
Discord users who want to extensively customize their client with plugins for themes, utilities, and quality-of-life improvements, and are comfortable with third-party modifications that may violate Discord's Terms of Service. It targets users on desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) and potentially web browsers via extension builds.
Developers choose Equicord for its large plugin library (over 300+ plugins) inherited from Vencord, with additional community-driven enhancements and support. It offers easy installation via dedicated tools (Equilotl) for multiple platforms and provides a development build option for users who want to contribute or customize further.
