Larpcord
The Discord client where you can be anyone. At least on your own screen.
Larpcord is an open-source, standalone Discord client (its own .exe) that lets you give yourself badges, the Nitro look, avatar decorations, profile effects, server badges, a different name and your own layout – locally. Everything Larpcord changes is visible only on your PC. Nobody else sees it, and your account is never changed.
Larp (Live Action Role Play): pretending. That's exactly what Larpcord does.
🌐 Website: try Larpcord in your browser and download it from the project website (source in site/).

🏰 Server badges
- Partner or verified badge for any server
- Boost level (1 to 3) and boost count, freely adjustable
- Configurable per server
🎮 Activities
- Make up your own activities: Playing, Listening, Watching, Streaming, Competing or a custom status
- Every field is yours: name, details, state line, large and small image with tooltips, party size, buttons
- “Elapsed” and “remaining” timestamps, fixed or running, with a progress bar for music
- Activity changer: rename real detected activities locally, give them new images or hide them completely
- Local only: no presence updates are sent, others keep seeing your real activity
🎖️ Local roles
- Your own roles per server: name, color, gradient and role icon
- Role pills on your own profile, name color in chat and member list, icon next to your name
- Templates for Owner, Admin, Moderator and VIP
- Display only: larp roles grant no permissions and never show up in Discord's permission system
🖼️ Restyle servers
- Change a server's name, icon and banner locally (URL or file, GIFs allowed)
- Works everywhere: server list, server header, banner above the channel list, mentions
- “Reset to original” per server; the server itself stays untouched
🎵 Profile music
- Your own song on your own profile, as a file (mp3, ogg, wav, m4a, up to 20 MB) or as a URL
- Plays while your profile is open, with volume, start time, loop and fade in/out
- Mini player on the profile and a global mute switch in the hub
- Larpcord ships no songs, only your own files
👥 Larp accounts
- Several complete larp profiles, each with its own settings - switch between them like between real accounts
- They sit in Discord's own account switcher, right below your real accounts, and look just like them
- Optional Discord-style loading screen when switching, so it feels like a real account switch
- Presets are shared by all larp accounts; your real profile is always one click away
- Only the local profile changes: no real account switch, nothing is sent to Discord
🔗 Connections
- Add made-up connected accounts to your profile: Steam, Spotify, GitHub, Twitch, Xbox, PlayStation and more
- Any account name, optional account ID for the link, verified check on or off
- Optionally hide your real connections on your own profile
- Not linked to any real account and only visible on your PC
🪪 Name changer
- Change your username and display name locally, instantly, without cooldown
- Applies everywhere: chat, profile, member list, user panel, mentions, tooltips
- Optional: show your larp name instead of server nicknames (on by default)
- Your real name on Discord stays unchanged. Even when Discord's account form is prefilled with the larp name, Larpcord never sends it to Discord.
🧩 Custom layout
- Edit mode in the hub or with Ctrl+Shift+L: drag elements, toolbar with “Done”, “Reset” and “Save as preset”
- Sort the server list freely (folders as a whole), new servers are added at the end automatically
- Right-click a DM → “Pin in Larpcord”; pinned DMs stay at the top in a fixed order
- Reorder or hide buttons in the user panel and channel header (the settings button always stays visible)
- User panel at the top or bottom
- Safety net: hold Shift on startup or pick “Reset layout” in the tray menu
🎭 Larp extras & presets
- Verified check and server owner crown next to your name
- Larp presets: save complete setups and switch with one click, e.g. “Discord Staff”, “Nitro Supporter”, “OG 2015”
- Import/export all settings as
.larp.json to share with friends (song files can be embedded on request)
- Optional “Larpcord” watermark on your profile (off by default)
🎨 UI & themes
- Theme editor with live preview (colors, fonts, corner radius)
- Custom sounds, custom loading screen, custom app icon
🌍 Language
- English by default. Other languages (currently German) can be picked in the client: Larpcord follows your Discord language setting
- Switching takes effect immediately, no restart
🔄 Updates
- Larpcord updates itself from the official GitHub releases (on startup and every 4 hours)
