Say goodbye to Electron bloat. Experience zero in-game micro-stutters with 0.02% CPU idle, sub-5 MB DeepSleep RAM, studio-grade Opus audio, and competitive Squad Leader speech priority ducking.
Litecord - Ultra-Lightweight Discord Client
0.08% CPU • 31.4 MB RAM
Comparing resource consumption between Official Discord (Electron) and Litecord (Native Rust + Slint).
Engineered from scratch for competitive gamers, streamers, and low-latency communication.
Full 1:1 and group DMs with colored avatars, presence indicators, real-time unread count badges, ringing audio alerts, and instant 1-click private voice calls.
Universal Linux AppImage bundled with all dynamic dependencies (`libxdo`, `libayatana`), running natively on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void, and more.
Optional native Light Theme for daylight reading clarity alongside the default Dark Theme, with persistent user preference and unified Slint tokens.
Preview members inside voice channels directly on the sidebar before joining, with avatar initials, 1-click connect, and automatic permission filtering.
Every 60 FPS video frame and system audio packet is encrypted end-to-end with military-grade AES-256-GCM using hardware AES-NI instructions (< 0.02% CPU).
Integrated streaming profile for Chrome, Edge, and Brave with hardware DRM compositor bypass—watch Netflix, Prime, and YouTube with friends without black screens.
Synthesizes missing packets seamlessly via Opus Packet Loss Concealment, eliminating crackling and dropouts in voice calls.
Assign priorities to voice participants. When shot-callers speak, lower-priority voices duck smoothly in real time.
Instant command suggestions with bot badges, arrow-key navigation (Up/Down + Enter), and interactive parameter chips.
Minecraft-style pixel-art preview (~500 bytes), proportional dynamic height, and path-traversal sanitized temporary caching.
Twemoji vector rendering for Unicode emojis and native Discord custom emojis with zero tofu square boxes (□).
Minimizing to system tray drops CPU consumption to 0.0%, suspending UI rendering while voice communication runs in background.
Local authentication tokens are encrypted with Windows master keys at rest (`CryptProtectData`), shielding your credentials.
Audited and engineered with zero-trust cryptographic protections across every single module.
Video frames and loopback audio packets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Wi-Fi and LAN packet sniffers see only randomized cryptographic noise.
Tokens in .litecord_token are encrypted with Windows DPAPI (CryptProtectData), locked to your Windows user logon credentials.
Built with native Slint—no WebViews, no Chromium DOM, no JavaScript execution. 100% immune to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
Connects directly to official Discord endpoints (discord.com and gateway.discord.gg). Zero third-party relays, zero proxies, zero telemetry.
Direct compliance with Discord's official MLS (RFC 9420) voice encryption standards for confidential, studio-quality calls.
Hyperlinks are filtered via strict HTTP/HTTPS whitelists dispatched to the OS browser. Attachment filenames are sanitized against path traversal.
Free, open-source, and pre-compiled for Windows and Linux.
