Discord Launcher

Why does this exist?

As you may know, to reduce CPU usage Discord processes automaticaly set to a lower priority state. On a low-end computer, this causes interruptions in the audio when talking to other people when the CPU experiences a high load.

How does it work?

To mitigate this issue, Discord Launcher forces Discord processes to stay at a level of priority chosen by the user. It uses a lightweight process listener module. This application's purpose is to be used on lower-end computers so naturally it's built from the ground up to be very light.

Why use this as a Discord launcher?

This tool also acts as a fully fledged launcher for Discord. You might ask yourself why would I complicate my existence by using a launcher to start Discord, but I assure you that Discord Launcher can be set-up to be a 1-Click solution. Who wants to have to open a separate tool every time they use Discord. Discord Launcher not only starts Discord, but also starts the priority tool all in a single click!

Who is it for?

As I said before this launcher is for people with lower-end computers who struggle to keep Discord responsive during high CPU load. It can also be used by people that are just looking for a simple launcher for Discord.
