Syncr is a free, open source Firefox extension that shows what you are doing on the web as a Discord Rich Presence. When you watch a video, listen to music, or read a thread, your Discord profile updates with the title, artwork, and a progress bar, the same way a native desktop app would.

Yes, completely. There is no paid tier, no subscription, and no locked features. Syncr is open source under a permissive license, so you can read every line, fork it, and even build your own activities. The things other presence tools charge for, like instant status clearing, are simply how Syncr works by default.

No. Syncr never asks for your Discord password or a token. It talks to the Discord desktop app already running on your machine over local IPC. That means there is no account handoff and nothing for an extension to leak. You do need the Discord desktop app, though, not the browser version.

Only the fields it needs to build a status, and only on the sites you enable. On YouTube Music that is the track, artist, and artwork. On Reddit it is the post or subreddit. Some activities are deliberately generic: Proton Mail shows a plain checking-mail status with no subjects or senders. Everything is read in your browser and sent straight to your local Discord app.

No. There is no Syncr cloud and no analytics. The whole pipeline runs locally: the Firefox tab feeds a small native host app, which hands the activity to your Discord desktop app. Nothing is routed through a server we run, so there is nothing for us to collect in the first place.

Right now: YouTube Music, YouTube, Reddit, Proton Mail, and Netflix. Each one has its own page explaining exactly what shows up. New activities are added over time, and the popup picks them up automatically from GitHub, so you do not need to reinstall to get them.

PreMiD is the well-known option and supports far more sites, since it has a big head start. The main differences are cost and behaviour: Syncr is free with no premium tier, clears your status the instant you close a tab, needs no Discord login, and runs fully locally with no ads or tracking. PreMiD gates instant clearing behind a paid plan and shows ads on its free tier. Syncr trades breadth for being free and local.

Yes, and this is a core part of the design. Open the Syncr popup and flip any activity on or off with a single switch. Only the sites you enable ever reach your profile, so you can share your music but hide your mail, or go dark entirely, whenever you want.

It does. Syncr checks for new versions and updates in place, and activity rules refresh from GitHub without a full reinstall. You are not waiting on a store review queue to get fixes or new sites. You can always see the full version history on the changelog page.

Firefox with the Syncr extension, the Discord desktop app running, and the small native host installed. Windows is the current platform. The download page walks through the four-step setup, and it takes about a minute end to end.

Absolutely. Each activity is a small folder with a logo, some metadata, and a scraper that reads the page. Because Syncr is open source, you can build your own and open a pull request, or request a site on the issues page. If it is broadly useful, it ships for everyone.
