What is BetterDiscord?
BetterDiscord is a desktop customization tool for Discord that lets users change how the client looks and behaves on macOS and other desktop platforms. It is designed for people who want more control over Discord through installable themes, plugins, and built-in tweaking options. Common uses include changing the interface with custom CSS, adding community-made extensions, and switching between a modified and standard Discord experience. BetterDiscord also includes tools that help users manage addons and adjust client behavior from within Discord settings. It is most relevant to users who are comfortable customizing their chat workspace and maintaining third-party addons over time.

Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
BetterDiscord modifies the Discord desktop client and loads third-party themes and plugins, so the main risk comes from addon quality and the fact that it changes how Discord runs. Access to Discord data and interface elements is part of its purpose, but community addons may introduce bugs, privacy issues, or unstable behavior if you install them carelessly. Use plugins and themes only from sources you trust, keep them updated, and remove anything that causes crashes or unusual account activity.
Recommendation: Keep BetterDiscord only if you actively use Discord customization features such as themes or plugins. If you prefer the standard Discord app or no longer rely on addons, you can remove it and return to the regular client experience.
