A Discord ''client mod'' (client modification) is a piece of software that aims to alter the functionality or look of Discord in some way. While this behavior is against the Discord TOS<ref>{{cite web|title=Discord's Terms of Service|url=https://discord.com/terms}}</ref>, it is common knowledge that Discord generally does not care about such projects nor the users who use them. In fact, employees have been known to use them<ref>{{cite web|title=A Discord employee 'devsnek' replying to a comment asking about employees using BetterDiscord|url=https://wiki.vencord.dev/index.php/File:Devsnek_about_BD.png}}</ref> and contribute back to the community<ref>{{cite web|title=GitHub issue by night in BetterDiscord|url=https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord/issues/442}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=GitHub issue by night in PowerCord|url=https://github.com/powercord-org/powercord/issues/386}}</ref>. The only exception would be the event the Discord API used in an unexpected way, or abused, commonly referred to as a [[selfbot]].

While this only lists client ''modifications'', there has been projects that aim to completely recreate a Discord client from the ground up.
