Dorion is a lightweight alternative Discord client built with Tauri and Rust that uses the OS-native webview instead of bundling Chromium. It supports themes, plugins (via Shelter, Vencord, and Equicord), rich presence, custom keybinds, and optional cache clearing for a minimal footprint.

Use cases

  • use Discord on a low-spec or storage-constrained PC
  • get a faster-starting Discord client with a smaller install size
  • apply custom themes and plugins to Discord
  • run Discord with rich presence and global keybinds on Linux
  • clear Discord cache automatically after each session
  • run a native ARM Discord client

When to choose

  • you want a tiny, snappy Discord client without Electron or bundled Chromium
  • you need client mod support with themes and plugins out of the box
  • you're on low-end hardware or an ARM device
  • you want optional features you can disable for performance

When to avoid

  • you need an officially supported Discord client (modded clients may violate Discord ToS)
  • you rely on features that require the full desktop client
  • your platform lacks a modern system webview (WebView2, WebKitGTK, WKWebView)
