Warning

Third party clients are discouraged and against the Discord TOS.

Discord Bot Client is a custom Discord client that aims to support bot accounts and be aimed at power-users.

The application only uses the official Discord API and doesn't send data to third parties. However, this application is not an official product by Discord Inc.

Installation

Windows

Discord Bot Client can be installed in Windows via Winget:

winget install aiko-chan-ai.DiscordBotClient

Using prebuilt binaries

If you don't want to build the application yourself or use some kind of package management system, you can get the latest binaries for the three major systems in the release overview:

Tip

Platform	Binary Type	Download Link
Windows	NSIS installer
Linux	.AppImage
Mac arm64 (Apple Silicon)	.dmg
Mac x64 (Intel)	.dmg	It seems I can only choose one MacOS version in Github Actions, so I choose arm64 (Apple Silicon) 😭 But you can build from source 🎉

Building from source

In order to execute the following commands, you need to install NodeJS v16 or higher. You can find nodejs packages at https://nodejs.org/en. On top of that, you need to have git installed. It can be found at https://git-scm.com/downloads.

UPDATES HAVE TO BE INSTALLED MANUALLY

Open a command line and execute the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/aiko-chan-ai/DiscordBotClient.git
cd DiscordBotClient
git clone https://github.com/aiko-chan-ai/VencordDBC.git
npm run requirement
npm run build

This will create an executable called DiscordBotClient or DiscordBotClient.exe in the dist folder depending on whether you are using Windows or not.

Login

Logging in works via the UI on first startup of the application.

Credits

Thanks to ChrisEric for helping me create a local proxy server! (code)

This project was mainly inspired by SamuelScheit Discord Bot Client, which he sadly didn't develop any further.

And a big thank to Vencord developers for making it easier for me to create this app
