OpenAsar is an open-source, drop-in replacement for Discord desktop's app.asar bootstrap file, written in JavaScript. It dramatically speeds up Discord's startup, reduces size to under 1% of the original, removes built-in tracking, and adds configurable options and splash theming.
Use cases
- make discord start faster
- remove discord tracking and telemetry
- theme my discord splash screen
- replace discord app.asar with open source version
- make discord client feel snappier
- reduce discord memory and disk footprint
- customize discord desktop settings
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, open-source drop-in replacement for Discord's desktop bootstrap
- you care about startup speed and snappier client performance
- you want to remove Discord's built-in crash/error tracking
- you want easy splash theming compatible with client mods
- you want a single-file install and uninstall process
When to avoid
- you only use Discord in the browser
- you need official support or want a fully vanilla Discord experience
- you rely on features only present in Discord's official app.asar
- you are uncomfortable replacing application files manually
