Discord on MacOS

Published by marco on

I’m consulting on a private project with a couple of friends. They use Discord for communication. It’s quite a nice app, but there is no app in the MacOS app store. When I search for it, Apple shows me the following, wildly irrelevant hits.

 Discord in App Store

You could also just say that you didn’t find any hits, Apple. This isn’t even close. The top hit is a 1/5-star reviewed product, with one review. What is the point of ever even showing this product to anyone who didn’t search for it?

So I installed the product from a download instead. The first thing it did on startup is to ask for access to all keystrokes in all applications. What the hell, Discord?

 Discord wants all keystrokes

This thing is a key-logger? What the actual hell? Or it wants to register global shortcuts, but not using the “approved” method. This is the probably the reason that it’s not in the App Store.
