  Show your YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, GitHub, ChatGPT, system apps, and other supported activity as Discord Rich Presence.
  
  Discord Status works with a small companion app that runs locally on your computer. Install both the Chrome extension and the companion app to show activity on Discord.
  
  Chrome extension:
  https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/discord-status/ekobpekegflobmheipgceigkldggkakd
  
  Companion app:
  https://github.com/GSUS2K/discord-status/releases/latest
  
  The companion app runs from your menu bar or system tray, depending on your platform.
  
  Supported activity includes media, browsing, productivity, manual custom status, activity selection, and optional system app detection. More sites and improvements are still being added.
  
  Note: The Chrome extension alone cannot update Discord Rich Presence. The companion app is required because Discord RPC runs locally on your computer.
  
  Quick tips:
  - Pin Discord Status to your Chrome toolbar for faster access.
  - Manage the extension from chrome://extensions/
  - Set a keyboard shortcut from chrome://extensions/shortcuts
  - Keep Discord desktop open while using the companion app.
  - Use the companion tray icon to choose an activity, return to Auto mode, or reconnect Discord RPC.
  - If the companion is not detected, make sure it is running and the backend URL is localhost.
  - Dynamic media thumbnails may appear when Discord accepts the detected public image URL; otherwise the uploaded platform icon is used.

  Privacy note: Discord Status is designed to run locally. Activity data is sent from the extension to the local companion app on localhost so it can update Discord Rich Presence. Optional system app detection runs locally too. Please review the source code and install only from the official links above.

  Show your browser, app, game, or custom activity as Discord Rich Presence.
  
  Discord Status works with a small local companion app that connects to Discord desktop. Use it to show supported activity from YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, GitHub, ChatGPT, system apps, and more.
  
  Install both parts:
  
  1. Chrome extension
  2. Companion app
  
  Chrome extension:
  https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/discord-status/ekobpekegflobmheipgceigkldggkakd
  
  Companion app:
  https://github.com/GSUS2K/discord-status/releases/latest
  
  The companion app runs from your menu bar or system tray. It is required because Discord Rich Presence works locally through Discord desktop.
  
  Supported activity includes media, browsing, productivity, manual custom status, activity selection, and optional system app detection.
  
  Quick tips:
  
  * Keep Discord desktop open.
  * Pin Discord Status to your Chrome toolbar.
  * If Discord shows disconnected, reopen Discord and reconnect from the companion.
  * If activity or thumbnails look wrong, refresh the page and check the selected mode.
