Terms & Privacy
Last updated: 8 November 2026
Terms of use
What it is
ANY-PRESENCE is a free, independent tool for Windows that sets your Discord Rich Presence to the game or program you choose. By downloading or using it, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use it.
No warranty
It is provided "as is", without any promise that it works, that it is free of errors, or that it will keep working as Discord and the stores change. To the extent the law allows, the author isn't responsible for any damage or loss that comes from using it.
Not affiliated
ANY-PRESENCE is not made, endorsed or sponsored by Discord, Valve (Steam), GOG, Apple, DLsite, VNDB, ImgBB or any other company. Their names, logos and the games, covers and descriptions shown through the app belong to their owners. The app only displays what those services make available.
Your responsibilities
- You decide what appears on your Discord profile, and you are responsible for it.
- Follow Discord's rules for your account, and the rules of any service you use through the app (for example ImgBB).
- Only upload images you have the right to share. Pictures you upload to ImgBB get a public link.
- Adult results are hidden by default. Turn them on only if you are old enough to see them where you live.
Updates
The app can check GitHub for new versions. It only downloads and installs one after you accept it. You can turn the check off in Settings.
Antivirus warnings
ANY-PRESENCE isn't code-signed, so Windows or your antivirus may warn about it. The code is public in the GitHub repository, so you can read it, have someone you trust review it, or build your own copy.
Changes
These terms can change. The date at the top shows the latest update, and older versions stay in the repository's history.
Privacy
What stays on your computer
Your settings, My Games list, saved apps, hours played and small copies of banners are saved in %APPDATA%\ANY-PRESENCE. If you add an ImgBB key, it is saved there too, as plain text. Nothing is sent to the author, and there are no accounts, ads or analytics.
To find the game you're playing, the app reads the names and icons of the programs running on your computer. That list stays on your computer. Only the program you choose is used, and only the title, status, buttons and images you set are shown on Discord.
What the app sends, and when
| Who | When | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Steam, GOG, the App Store, VNDB, DLsite, Wikipedia, Lutris, the Internet Archive | When you search, or open a game's info | The words you search for, and your IP address (which any website you contact can see). Searches only go to the sources you have turned on. |
| ImgBB | When you use your own image or a program icon, and only if you added an ImgBB key | The image, and your key. The image gets a public link that anyone who has the link can open. |
| LRCLIB (lyrics) | Only when you turn on Lyrics for a website in the browser extension, or search for lyrics by hand | The title and artist of the song playing (or the words you search for), and its length. The lyrics are shown one line at a time and not saved. |
| SoundCloud, Spotify (from the extension) | When a playlist is playing | A normal page request from your browser, as if you opened that playlist yourself, to read its name and cover. |
| wsrv.nl (image service) | When the icon editor loads a picture from the web | The address of that picture. |
| Discord | When you press Start | The title, status line, buttons and image links you chose. The app talks to your own Discord app on your computer, and Discord shows it on your profile. |
| GitHub | When the app checks for updates, and when you accept one | A request for the latest release. The new version is downloaded from the releases page. |
Those services have their own privacy policies, and the app has no control over what they do with a request.
The browser extension
The ANY-PRESENCE Web extension is optional. When it is on, it reads the title, artist, cover, playback position and page link of the song playing on SoundCloud or Spotify, and the name and cover of its playlist. It only runs on those two websites, and it sends what it reads only to the ANY-PRESENCE app on your own computer; the app accepts nothing from any other extension or website.
The extension saves its settings, and the custom image you choose, in your browser. The lyrics you pick for a song are remembered in the app on your computer. There are no accounts, ads or analytics, nothing is sent to the author, and the extension does not read other pages or your browsing history.
The app then shows the song on Discord as you set it, and the other services it may contact are in the table above. You can turn it off with Settings › Browser extension in the app, or by removing the extension.
Start with Windows
If you turn it on in Settings, the app adds itself to your Windows startup list. Turning it off removes it.
The website demo
The demo on the website is a copy of the app that runs in your browser. Your searches go to the App Store and VNDB directly, and to Steam and GOG through a small proxy that doesn't store anything. Nothing is connected to Discord, and nothing you do is saved. The demo keeps a daily request counter in your browser, and the website remembers your chosen theme in your browser, and both can be cleared in your browser settings.
