Deploy your Discord Rich Presence on Android using Kizzy!

Heyya there! It's been a long time since I made my first post. That's because I'm lazy when it comes to typing and thinking of words for a post. Well, it's not really important, hehe...

Back to the original topic, have you ever thought about displaying the activities you're doing on your Android device to your Discord profile, like playing games, coding, or... *cough* other stuff?

Say no more! Because now you can do it using Kizzy!
This app works by... um... I'm not entirely sure. But from what I read in its README, the app works by communicating with the Discord Gateway through your Discord account. So, I can conclude that this app might disguise itself as a Discord client with only Rich Presence feature.

"Oh? Isn't it risky?" (It should be) not because Kizzy is a FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and its developer, Vaibhav, explicitly explains to users that the app WILL NOT collect any personal information. Of course, as long as you download the app from the original source and not from elsewhere.

Kizzy is packed with many features such as:

  1. App Detection, to display which apps you are currently using.
  2. Media RPC, to show the music/video you are currently playing.
  3. Custom RPC, to create and display your own custom Rich Presence.
  4. Console RPC, making it appear as if you're playing games on a Nintendo Switch, so your Discord friends will think, "Oh, wow, X is playing Zelda on Switch!"
  5. Experimental RPC, to switching App Detection and Media RPC automatically. Join the Discord Server to get access to this feature.
  6. Samsung RPC, I'm not sure about this one because my Android isn't Samsung, hehe...

Oh, by the way, since Kizzy communicates with the Discord Gateway through your Discord account, which requires logging in, there is a risk of your account getting banned for using a third-party client. So, use it at your own risk.
