Bring your Discord's devtools back to life

Discord devtools was disabled, see more.

You can enable it again by adding the following property to your desktop application's config.json file: "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true

I made this project just to study some features of zx, as silly as it sounds, I learned a lot. I also did it because I imagine people must be asking themselves "Where is devtools?" I hope one way or another this helps you.

The script supports multiple installation paths per platform (e.g., standard, Flatpak, Snap installations on Linux). It will automatically detect which Discord installation exists on your system and use the appropriate configuration path.

Linux paths supported:

• Standard: ~/.config/discord/settings.json
• Flatpak: ~/.var/app/com.discordapp.Discord/config/discord/settings.json
• Snap: ~/snap/discord/current/.config/discord/settings.json

Just run

npx zx https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrunoS3D/discord-enable-devtools/main/index.mjs

It's ready now just restart discord

Open config file with vscode (or whatever you use)

code %appdata%/discord/settings.json

Standard config path:

code ~/.config/discord/settings.json

Flatpak config path:

code ~/.var/app/com.discordapp.Discord/config/discord/settings.json

Snap config path:

code ~/snap/discord/current/.config/discord/settings.json

code ~/Library/Application Support/discord/settings.json

Just add the following property to the config file:

{
  "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true,
  // ...
}

It's ready, now, just restart your Discord app
