Concord is a feature-rich TUI (terminal user interface) client for Discord, written in Rust with ratatui. Full Discord experience, right in your terminal.
brew install chojs23/tap/concordcargo install concordTo install the latest unreleased version directly from the Git repository:
cargo install --git https://github.com/chojs23/concordRun without installing (requires flakes enabled):
nix run github:chojs23/concordInstall into your profile:
nix profile install github:chojs23/concordOr add the flake as an input in your own flake.nix:
{
inputs.concord.url = "github:chojs23/concord";
}Then reference it as concord.packages.${system}.default in your configuration.
A development shell with the pinned Rust toolchain and rust-analyzer is also
available:
nix develop github:chojs23/concordInstall the latest release with the cargo-dist shell installer:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/chojs23/concord/releases/latest/download/concord-installer.sh | shOn Windows, use the PowerShell installer instead:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://github.com/chojs23/concord/releases/latest/download/concord-installer.ps1 | iex"The installer places concord under $CARGO_HOME/bin, which is usually
~/.cargo/bin on Unix and %USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin on Windows.
You need the Rust stable toolchain and Cargo.
git clone https://github.com/chojs23/concord.git
cd concord
cargo build --releaseThe release binary is produced at:
target/release/concordBy default, source builds can join voice channels and decode received voice
audio, but they do not open local audio input or output devices. To build with
voice playback and gated microphone transmit, enable the optional
voice-playback feature:
cargo build --release --features voice-playbackLinux playback uses the system audio stack through cpal. You may need ALSA
development files when building from source:
sudo apt install libasound2-devOn WSLg, audio is usually exposed through PulseAudio instead of a real ALSA sound card. If playback does not start, check that PulseAudio and ALSA routing work before debugging Discord voice itself:
pactl info
paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay -D pulse /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav- Token : paste an existing Discord token.
- Email / Password : login with credentials. MFA (TOTP, SMS) is fully supported.
- QR Code : scan the code from the Discord mobile app.
Email and QR code logins may trigger a CAPTCHA challenge on Discord's side. We cannot solve that, so I strongly recommend using token authentication.
Tokens are saved under Concord's config directory in plain text. See the Security section below for details.
- Browse servers with guild folder grouping
- Navigate text channels, threads, and forum channels
- View and filter forum posts (active / archived)
- Load pinned messages per channel
- Open channel actions for pinned messages, thread lists, and mark-as-read
- Join and leave voice channels
- Highlight active voice speakers in voice channel participant rows
- Track unread messages and mention counts per channel
- Mute and unmute channels and servers
- Send, edit, and delete messages
- Reply to specific messages
- Upload files by copying them from your file manager and pasting them into the composer
- Upload images copied directly to the system clipboard when the terminal forwards the paste key
- Use @mention autocomplete while composing messages
- View full message history with pagination
- Rich content display (embeds, attachments, stickers, and mentions)
- Detect URLs in message bodies and markdown links, then open them in your default browser
- Direct message shortcuts for copy, reply, edit, delete, pin/unpin, reactions, image viewing, and profile lookup
Concord renders a practical subset of Discord-style Markdown in message bodies:
- Headings:
# H1,## H2,### H3 - Quotes:
> quoted text - Bullets:
- itemand* item - Inline styles:
**bold**,*italic*, and`inline code` - Fenced code blocks with optional language labels, rendered as compact boxes
- Raw URLs and markdown link destinations are underlined and can be opened from message actions
- View, add, and remove emoji reactions (Unicode and custom server emoji)
- Browse who reacted with a specific emoji
- View and vote on polls
- Inline image previews directly in the terminal
- Avatar and custom emoji rendering
- Download attachments to your platform Downloads directory (
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIRon Linux) - Large centered attachment viewer with navigation
Image rendering is powered by ratatui-image. On startup, Concord queries the terminal to detect the best available graphics protocol. Supported protocols:
- Kitty Graphics Protocol - Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty, etc.
- iTerm2 Inline Images - iTerm2, WezTerm, mintty, etc.
- Sixel - foot, mlterm, xterm (if compiled with Sixel support), etc.
- Halfblocks (fallback) - works on any terminal, but uses block characters instead of true pixels.
If your terminal does not support any graphics protocol, images will be rendered as halfblock approximations. For the best experience, use a terminal that supports the Kitty or iTerm2 protocol.
You can toggle image viewing on or off in the configuration file. When image viewing is off, attachments and emojis will be shown as text placeholders.
- Member list with grouping
- Presence indicators (Online, Idle, DND, Offline)
- User profile popups with guild-specific details
- Live "user is typing..." indicators
- Unread message tracking with mention counts
- Mark server, channel as read
- Desktop notifications for Discord messages that pass your Discord notification settings
- Active channel notifications are suppressed so Concord does not notify for the conversation you are already viewing
- On macOS, Concord plays one explicit notification sound so focused terminal windows do not silently swallow audible alerts
All default key settings in this section can be customized. See Keymap options for the config format and supported actions.
Concord has a four-pane layout like Discord. Guilds (1), Channels (2), Messages (3), Members (4)

Concord options are stored under Concord's config directory. If
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, Concord uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/concord/config.toml
for app options and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/concord/keymap.toml for key settings.
Otherwise it uses the platform config directory. The usual fallback is
~/.config/concord/config.toml and ~/.config/concord/keymap.toml on Linux,
matching files under ~/Library/Application Support/concord/ on macOS, and the
roaming AppData config directory on Windows.
- Disable all image previews with one master switch
- Toggle inline image previews
- Set image preview quality for attachments, embeds, and the attachment viewer
- Toggle avatar display
- Toggle custom emoji rendering
- Toggle desktop notifications
- Set your Discord voice mute and deaf state
- Set microphone and received voice volume from 0 to 100
- Allow gated microphone transmit while joined from this Concord session and not self-muted
You can change these from the in-app Options menu, and Concord saves them back
to config.toml. Key settings are read from keymap.toml.
Example:
[display]
# Master switch that hides all image previews when true.
disable_image_preview = false
# Show user avatars next to messages and in profile views.
show_avatars = true
# Render inline image previews for attachments and embeds.
show_images = true
# Preview quality: efficient, balanced, high, or original.
image_preview_quality = "balanced"
# Render custom Discord emoji as images when possible.
show_custom_emoji = true
# Crop avatars into circles instead of showing square images.
circular_avatars = false
[notifications]
# Show desktop notifications for Discord messages that pass notification rules.
desktop_notifications = true
[voice]
# Join or update Discord voice with Concord self-muted.
self_mute = false
# Join or update Discord voice with Concord self-deafened.
self_deaf = false
# Allow microphone transmit while this session is joined and not self-muted.
allow_microphone_transmit = false
# Voice activity threshold in dB. Lower values transmit quieter input.
microphone_sensitivity = -30
# Microphone input volume percentage, from 0 to 100.
microphone_volume = 100
# Received voice playback volume percentage, from 0 to 100.
voice_output_volume = 100image_preview_quality supports these values:
efficient: smaller preview requests to reduce bandwidth and memory use.balanced: default quality with bounded resource use.high: sharper resized previews using lossless quality.original: request the original source image for previews when possible.
This setting only applies to attachment, embed, and attachment viewer previews. Avatars and custom emoji keep their separate small-image behavior.
desktop_notifications under [notifications] controls OS notifications for Discord messages that
pass Discord notification settings.
microphone_volume and voice_output_volume accept 0 to 100 percent
and default to 100, which preserves the normal audio level. In Voice Options, select
sensitivity and press h/l to adjust by 1 dB or H/L to adjust by 10 dB.
Concord reads key settings from the [keymap] section in keymap.toml.
Example keymap.toml:
[keymap]
StartComposer = { keys = ["c"] }
ReplyMessage = "<leader>mr"
VoiceDeafen = "<leader>vd"
VoiceMute = "<leader>vm"
VoiceLeave = "<leader>vl"
[keymap.groups]
"<leader>v" = "Voice"
[keymap.channel_actions]
MuteChannel = { keys = ["x"], description = "mute channel" }
[keymap.message_actions]
OpenThread = { keys = ["t"], description = "open thread" }
[keymap.composer]
OpenEditor = "<C-o>"
DeletePreviousWord = "<A-backspace>"There are five kinds of keymap settings:
| Config path | What it controls |
|---|---|
[keymap] leader |
The key that opens the leader popup. Defaults to Space. |
[keymap] <ActionName> |
Directly assignable UI actions such as StartComposer, ChannelSwitcher, and VoiceMute. |
[keymap.groups] |
Optional titles for prefix popups, such as naming <leader>v as Voice. |
[keymap.guild_actions], [keymap.channel_actions], [keymap.member_actions], [keymap.message_actions] |
Shortcuts shown inside focused-pane action menus opened by OpenFocusedPaneAction. |
[keymap.composer] |
Shortcuts used while the message composer is open, such as editor and cursor commands. |
[keymap] action values can be either a string or an object with keys and an
optional description:
[keymap]
StartComposer = "<leader>e"
ChannelSwitcher = { keys = ["<C-w>f", "<leader><C-w>"], description = "find channel" }keys accepts one sequence or a list of sequences. Modifier chords use
Vim-style angle syntax, such as <C-f>, <S-tab>, and <A-backspace>.
Leader sequences like <leader><C-w>, compact plain sequences like fd, and
general multi-key prefixes like <C-w>f are supported. Prefix sequences show a
which-key.nvim style popup. For example, fd opens an f popup after f, then runs
the action after d.
[keymap.channel_actions]
MuteChannel = { keys = ["u", "<C-u>"], description = "mute channel" }Composer action values under [keymap.composer] use the same string or object
shape, but each keys entry must be one key chord because composer commands run
immediately while text is being typed:
[keymap.composer]
OpenEditor = { keys = ["<C-o>"], description = "open editor" }
DeletePreviousWord = "<A-backspace>"Direct [keymap] actions and leader cannot use reserved keys: Enter, Esc,
Backspace, Delete, or Ctrl+c. Invalid, reserved, or conflicting bindings
are ignored for that action. [keymap.composer] is separate and can remap those
editing keys.
These action names can be assigned directly under [keymap]. Defaults
that start with <leader> are shown without the leading Space in the leader
popup. OpenDisplayOptions, OpenNotificationOptions, and OpenVoiceOptions
have contextual defaults inside the Options popup, so assign your own full
sequence if you want direct keys for them.

OpenFocusedPaneAction opens the action menu for the pane that currently has
focus. Server, channel, member, and message pane actions can be configured in
scoped tables. Focused-pane action menus keep their scoped actions visible, and
actions that do not apply to the current selection are shown dimmed and disabled.
Server pane actions:
[keymap.guild_actions]
MarkAsRead = { keys = ["m"], description = "mark server as read" }
MuteServer = { keys = ["u"], description = "mute server" }| Scoped action | Default | Action |
|---|---|---|
MarkAsRead |
m |
Mark all unread viewable channels in the selected server read. |
MuteServer |
u |
Mute or unmute the selected server. Also accepts ToggleMute as an alias. |
Channel pane actions:
[keymap.channel_actions]
JoinVoice = { keys = ["j"], description = "join voice" }
LeaveVoice = { keys = ["l"], description = "leave voice" }
ShowPinnedMessages = { keys = ["p"], description = "show pinned messages" }
ShowThreads = { keys = ["t"], description = "show threads" }
MarkAsRead = { keys = ["m"], description = "mark as read" }
MuteChannel = { keys = ["u"], description = "mute channel" }| Scoped action | Default | Action |
|---|---|---|
JoinVoice |
j |
Join the selected voice channel. |
LeaveVoice |
l |
Leave the current Concord voice channel. |
ShowPinnedMessages |
p |
Open the selected channel's pinned messages. Also accepts LoadPinnedMessages as an alias. |
ShowThreads |
t |
List threads for the selected channel. |
MarkAsRead |
m |
Mark the selected channel read. |
MuteChannel |
u |
Mute or unmute the selected channel or category. Also accepts ToggleMute as an alias. |
Member pane actions:
[keymap.member_actions]
ShowProfile = { keys = ["p"], description = "show profile" }| Scoped action | Default | Action |
|---|---|---|
ShowProfile |
p |
Open the selected member's profile. |
Messages pane actions can be configured under [keymap.message_actions]. This
menu only contains message actions that do not already have a direct message
shortcut.
[keymap.message_actions]
OpenThread = "t"
ShowReactionUsers = "u"
OpenPollVotePicker = "c"| Action label | Default shortcut | When it appears |
|---|---|---|
Open thread |
t |
The selected message has a thread. Otherwise dimmed. |
Show reacted users |
u |
Reaction users can be shown. Otherwise dimmed. |
Choose poll votes |
c |
A non-finalized poll is selected. Otherwise dimmed. |
Scoped action description changes the label shown in the action menu. Multiple
configured keys work as aliases when they are unique in the current action
menu, and the popup shows them together, such as [x/u]. If two actions in the
same menu use the same configured key, that key is ignored for both actions. If
an action has no unique configured key, it falls back to 1 through 9, then
0.

Image-heavy screens can temporarily use more memory because compressed image bytes need to be decoded before they can be rendered in the terminal. When many images are loaded, memory can briefly rise to around 100-200 MB while decoding and then drop again as work completes and caches are pruned.
To keep resource usage bounded, Concord limits media work in several places:
- Attachment previews are downloaded with an 8 MiB per-preview cap.
- Attachment downloads are capped at 64 MiB.
- Up to 4 attachment previews are fetched at once.
- Up to 2 inline image previews are decoded at once.
- Inline image previews, avatars, and custom emoji use small LRU caches.
- Image preview requests prefer resized Discord proxy URLs sized for the terminal instead of original full-size media when possible.
- The preview quality preset can lower preview source dimensions or opt into original source images. It does not change avatar or custom emoji sizing.
Message history is also cached with a per-channel limit, so long-running sessions do not keep every message in memory forever.
Honestly, no.
There are some path that did trigger a account block:
- Trying to create a new DM channel and send a message to an unknown user(meaning there was no pre-existing DM created through the Discord client) can immediately block your account temporarily.
- Some features that requires a hCapcha challenge on Discord's side.
Other features have not caused blocks in my testing.
That said, Concord is not an official Discord client. Using unofficial clients, automated user accounts, or self-bots can violate Discord's TOS, so there is always some risk. Use it at your own discretion.
No. If Discord requires a CAPTCHA during login, use token login instead.
- Tokens are stored as plain text in Concord's config directory. So keep that file secure and do not share it. You can use the token from that file to log in to the official Discord client, so treat it like a password.
- On Unix, the credential's parent directory is created with
0700and the credential file with0600permissions. - All concord state (config, keymap, credential, log) lives under a single
concord/directory insideXDG_CONFIG_HOMEwhen it is set, or inside the platform config directory otherwise. - No system keychain integration yet.
