Stray: Keep Your Discord Account Online 24/7

#opensource #discord #nextjs #typescript

Ever wanted your Discord account to stay online 24/7, rocking a sleek custom Rich Presence or an automated custom status, without needing to leave your primary machine running all night?

To keep Stray as lightweight as possible, I didn't want to bundle a massive external Discord library. Instead, Stray utilizes the optimized base connection logic inspired by the ghost-selfbot repository as its foundation. By isolating and extracting only the critical connection architecture and WebSocket payload functions, Stray remains lightning-fast, highly efficient, and hyper-focused on doing exactly one job perfectly: Keeping your session alive and your status active.

⚠️ Critical Safety & Usage Notes
* Discord ToS Warning: Operating custom presence scripts or selfbots on personal user accounts explicitly violates the Discord Terms of Service. Using this project carries a permanent risk of account restriction or suspension. Use entirely at your own risk.
* Token Security: Your Discord Account Token grants full control over your profile. Stray locally encrypts your credentials using robust AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption, but you must ensure your self-hosted environment stays completely secure. Never share your token layout or environment secrets.
