Discord Extensions

Discord Extensions is a standalone desktop plugin host plus a Chromium browser companion for managing local Discord-related extensions through a control panel and a web UI helper.

Caution

This is an experimental project, and it is not an officially supported Discord plugin system. Use it at your own discretion.

Included architecture

• Electron + TypeScript desktop UI shell with tray launch and single-instance behavior
• Chromium browser companion extension (Manifest V3) for Discord web UI tweaks and quick controls
• Shared manifest, IPC, and settings contract layer across desktop and browser components
• Built-in plugin templates plus tool-plugin manifests for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, C, and C++
• Persistent plugin state, plugin settings, and browser extension preferences storage
• Java bridge module for future native helpers and tooling
• Validation scripts and GitHub Actions workflows for desktop, browser, and sample plugin checks

What the current repository provides

• plugin enable / disable toggles and per-plugin settings in a gear-style detail panel
• global customization controls such as language, compact layout, startup behavior, tray behavior, and font scale
• local plugin import for folders, .zip archives, and plugin.json manifests
• browser companion support for Discord web, including compact layout, sidebar width, motion reduction, and page cleanup toggles
• workspace access for installed plugins, settings files, and imported packages
• sample tool plugins written in Python, Go, Rust, C, and C++
• repository validation for desktop, browser, and sample plugin layouts

Supported features

• desktop plugin host management
• browser companion extension for Chromium-based browsers
• built-in default plugins such as Volume Lock, Voice Comfort, Focus Mode, Quick Launcher, and Compact Sidebar
• importable external plugin packs
• persistent settings and tray startup
• multilingual UI in English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese
• one-click launcher for non-coders

Installation

1. Desktop host: install Node.js 24 or newer, run npm install, then launch with start.bat or npm run start:desktop.
2. Browser companion: open browser-extension/ in Chrome, Edge, Brave, or another Chromium-based browser through the unpacked extension workflow.
3. Plugin packs: use the desktop control panel to import a folder, .zip, or plugin.json manifest. Tool plugins can describe Python, Go, Rust, C, or C++ runtime/build commands inside their manifests.

Main scripts

• npm run start:desktop
• npm run build
• npm run typecheck
• npm run validate:repo
• npm run validate:browser-extension

Note

This repository is implemented as a separate companion host and browser extension. It does not modify the Discord client installation directory or inject code into the Discord application.
