''Aliucord'', commonly referred to as ''Aliu'', or ''AC'', is a mobile Discord client mod for Android. It targets the [[v126.21]] version of the Android app, a version from mid-2022 now called the ''Legacy Android App''<ref>{{cite web|title=Discord incident status referencing the legacy app|url=https://discordstatus.com/incidents/pp6njm8bcwzq}}</ref>. Its primary method of patching is runtime ART hooking through the use of [[LSPlant]].

''Aliucord Manager'' was created in the summer of 2021<ref>{{cite web|title=Aliucord Manager initial commit|url=https://github.com/Aliucord/Manager/commit/7881279196652bf79ae83d971689d6ea6731d833}}</ref>, aiming to replace the Aliucord Installer with better design. It is written entirely in [[wikipedia:Kotlin_(programming_language)|Kotlin]] and [https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose Jetpack Compose]. As of March 2024, nearly 3 years later, it is still under development. While initially the main idea of this rewrite was to stop using [[wikipedia:Flutter_(software)|Flutter]], new ideas and features started to be implemented, aided by collaboration with [[Vendetta]]'s [https://github.com/vendetta-mod/VendettaManager Manager]. A more user-friendly UI, an install flow that handles edge cases, and multi-install support are some of the main differences.
