WARNING: Third party clients are discouraged and against the Discord TOS.
Cordless is a custom Discord client that aims to have a low memory footprint 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
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:
https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless/releases/latest
Building from source
In order to execute the following commands, you need to install go 1.13 or higher. You can find golang packages at https://golang.org/doc/install. On top of that, you need to have git installed. It can be fund 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/Bios-Marcel/cordless.git
cd cordless
go build
This will create an executable file called cordless
or cordless.exe
depending on whether you are on Windows or not. Move that file anywhere
that your terminal can find it. I recommend adding a bin
folder to your
user home and adding it to your systems PATH
variable. Please search the
internet, using your favourite search engine, for
how to set an environment variable in XXX
in order to update your PATH
variable correctly.
For updateing you simply have to delete the folder you downloaded last time and repeat the instructions.
Note:
- X11 users need
xclip
in order to copy and paste. - Wayland users need
wl-clipboard
in order to copy and paste. - Mac OS users need
pngpaste
in order to copy and paste images.
Installing on Linux
Arch based Linux distributions
On Arch based distributions, you can use the AUR package to install cordless:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/cordless-git.git
cd cordless-git
makepkg -sric
or use your favourite AUR helper.
Installing on Windows
In order to install the latest version on Windows, you first need to install scoop.
After installing scoop, run the following:
This adds the bucket (repository) that contains cordless to your local scoop installation, allowing you to install any package it contains. Afterwards it installs cordless for your current windows user.
scoop bucket add biosmarcel https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/scoopbucket.git
scoop install cordless
Updates can be installed via:
scoop update cordless
Installing on macOS
Use Homebrew to install cordless
on macOS:
brew tap Bios-Marcel/cordless
brew install cordless
If you don't install via cordless via brew, then you should have to get
pngpaste
in order to be able to paste image data.
Login
YOUR PASSWORD IS NEVER SAVED LOCALLY.
Logging in works via the UI on first startup of the application.
If you are logging in with a bot token, you have to prepend Bot
in front of
the token.
If you need to find out how to retrieve your token, check the wiki.
Currently captcha-code login isn't supported. Thanks for your SHIT-API, Google
