Pick a game or any running program, and ANY-PRESENCE sets its title, cover and status on your profile. Even the ones Discord doesn't know about.
Keep the Discord desktop app open, with Activity Status turned on.
Search for it, or choose the program that's running right now.
It shows on your profile. Press Stop whenever you want it gone.
Yes, the Discord desktop app has to be open on the same computer, with Activity Status on. If it's closed when you press Start, the game is still added to My Games, and the presence starts as soon as Discord opens.
It's free, and there's nothing to sign up for. ANY-PRESENCE comes with its own Discord application. A free ImgBB key is optional: it only lets your own images and program icons show on Discord.
No, but Windows and some antivirus programs often warn about new apps like this one. The app isn't code-signed (that costs money), it can start with Windows, and it reads your running programs to find the game you're playing. All of that makes antivirus programs wary.
You don't have to take my word for it: all of the code is public, so you can read it, have someone you trust review it, or build your own copy. If Windows blocks it, click More info, then Run anyway.
Everything runs on your computer. The app only contacts the game stores you search, ImgBB (only if you add a key), Discord, and GitHub (to check for updates). Your settings, My Games list and hours played stay on your PC.
Not for now. ANY-PRESENCE is for Windows only.
One file, no installer. Download it, open it, press Start.
