Ripcord: Desktop Chat Client

Ripcord

A desktop chat client for Discord and Slack

Ripcord is a desktop chat client for group-centric services like Slack and Discord. It provides a traditional compact desktop interface designed for power users. It's not built on top of web browser technology: it responds quickly to input, sips gently from computer resources, and gets out of your way. It does voice chat, too.

What the

Does Ripcord cost anything?
Not right now. Eventually, it will. Probably between $10 and $30. You'll be able to use it without paying, but there will be a nag screen.

How do I prevent Ripcord from checking for updates before I'm able to open the preferences window to disable it?
Set the environment variable RIPCORD_ALLOW_UPDATES=0
