Swiftcord is beautiful, follows design principals of the official client while keeping the macOS look and feel that you love, and most importantly, its (really) fast!

Motivation

Swiftcord was created to offer a Discord-like UI and experience while having the performance and memory benefits of native apps. The idea started brewing when I was tight on RAM, then noticed Discord using 600+MB of RAM. I then realized that was the perfect opportunity to explore SwiftUI, since it was relatively new to me at that time. Hence, Swiftcord was born!
