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)
