Installers are available on the releases page. You can also get it from a package repository, or GitHub Actions, or you can build it yourself!

I do not maintain any instances of Dorion in any package repositories myself, however some very kind people maintain some in their own spare time:
- Windows:
- Shovel/Scoop (Maintained by Small-Ku):
scoop bucket add turbo 'https://github.com/Small-Ku/turbo-bucket.git' scoop install turbo/dorion
- WinGet (Maintained by headquarter8302)
winget install --id SpikeHD.Dorion
- Shovel/Scoop (Maintained by Small-Ku):
- Linux:
- Arch AUR (Maintained by Refined7075)
yay -S dorion-bin
- NixOS
nix-shell -p dorion
- Arch AUR (Maintained by Refined7075)
Note
Maintaining Dorion in a different package repository that I don't know about? Feel free to open a PR to add it here!
- Significantly smaller than the original Discord client, as well as other web-based alternatives
- Theme support
- Shelter included out of the box
- Support for other client mods and plugins, like Vencord
- There is no BetterDiscord support... yet
- Almost full game presence support included out of the box. Enable it in "Performance & Extras"!
- (Hopefully) better low-end system performance.
Dorion comes with shelter, so that should cover at least some plugin-related needs. You can also enable client mods like Vencord inside the Dorion settings page. If you want to install plugins not available within the Dorion settings page, ensure you are downloading a browser-compatible version.
Dorion supports all themes, BetterDiscord and others, with a couple caveats.

1 While some tweaks to Tauri made it possible to set the webrtc_enabled
flag to true, it is unfortunately still not functional in WebKitGTK. The only way to enable the functionality it is through a build-time flag (which, as you could guess, is not set for any of the official builds) and then using a custom Tauri version. For now, we just have to wait for it to come pre-enabled (or you can wait hours to build WebKitGTK yourself :P).
-
Clone/download the repository
-
Open a terminal window in the root project folder
-
Install JS dependencies:
pnpm install
-
Build the minified versions of the JS/HTML files:
pnpm build
-
Pull the latest shelter build
pnpm shupdate
-
Build!
# Build the updater pnpm build:updater # Build Dorion pnpm tauri build # or to debug/open in dev mode pnpm tauri dev
All built files will be in src-tauri/target/(release|debug)/
. When using portably, the icons
and injection
folders are required. Installation files (eg. .msi
) are located in bundle/
- (Windows) Large images in themes will not load
- (MacOS) Injection JS does not reinject after reloading the page
- Fonts/font-faces will not load
If you are having problems opening Dorion, or it instantly crashes, or something similar, try the following:
- Install via MSI instead of the
.zip
file - Use the
.zip
file instead of the MSI - (If using the
.zip
file) make sure all files were extracted properly (html
,injection
, etc.) - Reinstall WebView2
- Fully uninstall and reinstall.
- If you are having trouble uninstalling it, or the installer says its already installed even though you uninstalled, try deleting this registry folder and uninstalling again
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients\{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}
- You can also try uninstalling from the Command Prompt
- Pre-process fonts like images/CSS imports are already done
- Multi-thread CSS processing
- Use resource files from within the binary itself instead of the filesystem
- Desktop notifications
- AND displaying the number of notifs in the desktop icon
- Webpack stuff
- Global push-to-talk
- Rich presence(?)
- FULL rich presence
- Custom keybinds
- Helper API methods and events for plugins
- Backup localized themes
- Localization timeout
- Safemode key (disable themes and plugins)
- New release notifications
- Logging system (like reMITM)
Tip
See the examples
directory for examples of plugins, including how to include external code and themes.
Plugins and themes are relatively simple to use, the file structure looks like so on Windows:
C:/Users/%USERNAME%/dorion/
├── plugins/
| └── plugin.js
└── themes/
└── theme.css
and like so on Linux:
~/.config/dorion/
├── plugins/
| └── plugin.js
└── themes/
└── theme.css
so if you download a plugin or theme, just pop it into the plugins
/themes
folder. If you need help finding them, there are buttons in Dorion settings that'll take you where you need!
Issues, PRs, etc. are all welcome! For guidelines and tips, see CONTRIBUTING.md
