About

Discord Development is the development-channel macOS desktop app for Discord. The supplied package identifies it as voice and text chat software; Discord’s official site describes group chats for talking, playing and spending time with friends or communities.

  • Supports voice and text chat, with the option to move between chats without placing a call or sending an invitation.
  • Discord’s site describes voice and video chat, streaming, and sharing activities such as watching videos or playing games in group chats.
  • The official site also describes customization with emoji, stickers, soundboard effects, avatars and custom statuses.
  • This cask installs Discord Development.app in /Applications and requires macOS 13 or later. It is the development variant, not a description of the standard Discord desktop release.

Install with Homebrew Cask:

brew install --cask discord@development

After installation, open Discord Development from /Applications and sign in to use Discord. The official Discord site also provides access to Discord in a browser.

Install and uninstall

Homebrew installs the app in your Applications folder.

Install without Homebrew

Download the same file Homebrew uses: dl-development.discordapp.net/apps/osx/1.0.1024/DiscordDevelopment.dmg

SHA-256 only checks that the download is complete; it is not a security certification. See the SHA-256 and download address

Uninstall command
$ brew uninstall --cask \discord@development

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)
$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \discord@development

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left.See which files are removed
