Vesktop is an open-source Discord client that comes with Vencord built in. It’s lighter, faster, and fixes several things the official Discord app still gets wrong.
Why switch from official Discord?
- Less resource usage — significantly lighter than the Electron-heavy official client
- Vencord built in — themes, plugins, and tweaks work out of the box with no extra setup
- Linux screen share with audio — the official Discord client doesn’t support audio in screen share on Linux; Vesktop does
- Better privacy — no telemetry, no background tracking
- Open source — the code is public and community-reviewed
If you spend a lot of time in Discord, Vesktop is a straightforward upgrade over the official app.
