Caution

Usage of unofficial or ported clients is not guaranteed to function as intended. Future updates may break certain features or cause unexpected behavior.

Don’t be stupid — do not open issues or contact Legcord support. These clients are not supported or affiliated with the official Legcord in any way.

Use at your own risk.

Features

• Standalone client

  Legcord is built as a standalone client and doesn't rely on the original Discord client in any way.

• Various mods built-in

  Enjoy Vencord, Equicord, Shelter and their many features, or have a more vanilla experience, it's your choice!

• Themes

  Legcord natively supports theming of the entire app, you can easily import BetterDiscord themes and manage them

• Made for Privacy™

  Legcord automatically blocks all of Discord's trackers; even without any client mods, you can feel safe and secure!

• Supports Rich Presence

  Unlike other clients, Legcord supports rich presence (game activity) out of the box thanks to arRPC.

• Mobile support

  Legcord has experimental mobile support for phones running Linux such as the PinePhone. While this is still far from an ideal solution, we're slowly trying to improve it.

• Much more stable

  Legcord 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!

  Legcord was originally created for AArch64 Linux devices since Discord doesn't support them. We soon decided to support every platform that Electron supports!

• NT 5.x, 6.x Support!!!

  Legcord-Legacy is designed to run on Legacy Windows Systems like 32Bit Windows or Windows NT 5.x/6.x (XP with One-Core-API, Vista with Extended Kernel Windows 7 and 8, 8.1) Support.

• macOS Catalina 10.15 Support!!!

  Legcord-Legacy is designed to run on Legacy macOS, currently supports macOS Catalina (10.15).

How to run/install it?

Windows

Get the .exe installer from Releases.

macOS

Get the .dmg installer from Releases.

Pre-built binaries

Check the releases tab for precompiled packages for Windows, and macOS.

Compiling

Alternatively, you can run Legcord from source (NodeJS and pnpm) are required:

For Windows

You need to have the following dependencies installed:

You’ll also need the following this file:

• Modified Electron (Thanks to @e3kskoy7wqk)

First, fork repository with git clone https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord

Place the unpacked dist-(x86).zip in local_electron, rename to electron-v37.2.2-win32-x64 for 64-Bit, and electron-v37.2.2-win32-ia32 for 32-Bit.

Inside this folder, you must include the files:

• electron-v37.2.2-win32-x64 (for 64-Bit)
• electron-v37.2.2-win32-ia32 (for 32-Bit)

Now open package.json. Replace pnpm build:plugins && pnpm run build && electron --trace-warnings --ozone-platform-hint=auto ./ts-out/main.js with pnpm build:plugins && pnpm run build && local_electron\\electron-v37.2.2-win32-x64\\electron --trace-warnings --ozone-platform-hint=auto ./ts-out/main.js.
In "devDependencies" section, replace "electron"'s version (e.g. "^37.2.2" with "file:./local_electron").

Now, add this section.

    "build": {
      "electronDist": "./local_electron/electron-v37.2.2-win32-x64",
      "electronVersion": "37.2.2"
    },

Note

You must change x64 to ia32 if you are targetting to 32Bit.

For Example, if code is like this,

    "scripts": {
        "build:dev": "rollup -c --environment BUILD:dev && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
        "build:plugins": "lune ci --repoSubDir src/shelter --to ts-out/plugins",
        "build": "pnpm build:plugins && rolldown -c rolldown.config.js && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
        "start": "node scripts/electron.cjs .",
        "startThemeManager": "pnpm run build:dev && electron ./ts-out/main.js themes",
        "package": "pnpm run build && electron-builder",
        "packageQuick": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --dir",
        "lint": "biome check",
        "lint:fix": "biome check --write",
        "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps",
        "CIbuild": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --linux zip && electron-builder --windows zip && electron-builder --macos zip",
        "updateMeta": "tsx scripts/utils/updateMeta.mts"
    },
    "repository": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "git+https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord.git"
    },

Place like this.

    "scripts": {
        "build:dev": "rollup -c --environment BUILD:dev && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
        "build:plugins": "lune ci --repoSubDir src/shelter --to ts-out/plugins",
        "build": "pnpm build:plugins && rolldown -c rolldown.config.js && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
        "start": "node scripts/electron.cjs .",
        "startThemeManager": "pnpm run build:dev && electron ./ts-out/main.js themes",
        "package": "pnpm run build && electron-builder",
        "packageQuick": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --dir",
        "lint": "biome check",
        "lint:fix": "biome check --write",
        "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps",
        "CIbuild": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --linux zip && electron-builder --windows zip && electron-builder --macos zip",
        "updateMeta": "tsx scripts/utils/updateMeta.mts"
    },
    "build": {
      "electronDist": "./local_electron/electron-v37.2.2-win32-x64",
      "electronVersion": "37.2.2"
    },
    "repository": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "git+https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord.git"
    },

Now, run this.

# Set architecture FIRST to build 32-bit (ia32) target
set npm_config_arch=ia32

# Install Dependencies
pnpm i

# Start the program
pnpm start

# Or package it for Windows
pnpm package

# For 32Bit Windows
pnpm exec electron-builder --win --ia32

For macOS Catalina (10.15)

Note

Since macOS Catalina only supports Intel Macs, so building with universal binary is pointless.

You can replace universal with x64 to build Intel Macs (x64 binaries) only.

Open package.json and add this.

"build": {
  "mac": {
    "minimumSystemVersion": "10.15.0",
    "target": [
      {
        "target": "dmg",
        "arch": ["x64"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

For Example, if code is like this,

{
  "scripts": {
    "build:dev": "rollup -c --environment BUILD:dev && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
    "build:plugins": "lune ci --repoSubDir src/shelter --to ts-out/plugins",
    "build": "pnpm build:plugins && rolldown -c rolldown.config.js && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
    "start": "node scripts/electron.cjs .",
    "startThemeManager": "pnpm run build:dev && electron ./ts-out/main.js themes",
    "package": "pnpm run build && electron-builder",
    "packageQuick": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --dir",
    "lint": "biome check",
    "lint:fix": "biome check --write",
    "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps",
    "CIbuild": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --linux zip && electron-builder --windows zip && electron-builder --macos zip",
    "updateMeta": "tsx scripts/utils/updateMeta.mts"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord.git"
  }
}

Place like this.

    "scripts": {
        "build:dev": "rollup -c --environment BUILD:dev && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
        "build:plugins": "lune ci --repoSubDir src/shelter --to ts-out/plugins",
        "build": "pnpm build:plugins && rolldown -c rolldown.config.js && tsx scripts/copyVenmic.mts",
        "start": "node scripts/electron.cjs .",
        "startThemeManager": "pnpm run build:dev && electron ./ts-out/main.js themes",
        "package": "pnpm run build && electron-builder",
        "packageQuick": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --dir",
        "lint": "biome check",
        "lint:fix": "biome check --write",
        "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps",
        "CIbuild": "pnpm run build && electron-builder --linux zip && electron-builder --windows zip && electron-builder --macos zip",
        "updateMeta": "tsx scripts/utils/updateMeta.mts"
    },
    "build": {
      "mac": {
        "minimumSystemVersion": "10.15.0",
        "target": [
          {
            "target": "dmg",
            "arch": ["x64"]
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    "repository": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "git+https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord.git"
    },

Simply downgrade the Electron version as follows:

# Install dependencies
pnpm i

# Downgrade Electron to v32 (last version supported on Catalina, based on Chromium 128)
pnpm i -f electron@32

# Package the app
pnpm package
