Devvy

Devvy gives your coding workflow one clean, privacy-conscious Discord Rich Presence. It shows what kind of work is happening without showing the work itself.

Install

Devvy is one Discord presence for your coding workflow. Discord must be running, but Devvy installs its own runtime and handles the background daemon.

macOS

Run this in Terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonawaneutkarsh/devvy/main/install.sh | bash

Windows

Download devvy-windows-x86_64.zip from the Devvy release and run windows/install.ps1 in PowerShell. Right-click the file, choose Run with PowerShell, and follow the one-step installer. It installs the isolated runtime, starts Devvy at login, and installs the VS Code extension when VS Code is available.

Windows x64 is supported first. If VS Code is not installed, installation still succeeds and OpenCode or Command Code can use the daemon when available.

The macOS command above remains the only macOS setup command. Devvy installs its own isolated runtime and handles the rest automatically:

• The background service starts at login.
• The VS Code extension installs automatically, even without a code command in your PATH.
• OpenCode and Command Code integrations are installed when those apps are available.
• Discord presence starts updating through the local daemon.

1. Paste the command into Terminal.
2. Wait for the installation to finish.
3. Reload or restart VS Code.
4. Open VS Code, OpenCode, or Command Code and start working.
5. Devvy appears on Discord.

You do not need to install Node.js, npm, Homebrew, Python, npx, a VSIX, a LaunchAgent, Windows service, or Discord RPC separately.

What It Looks Like

This is a real V4 Discord presence: the project, high-level state, and detected model are visible without exposing the task itself.

Why Devvy?

Devvy makes your presence useful at a glance. Friends can see that you are thinking, editing, planning, reviewing, or waiting, along with the project you are in and the AI model when it is reliably known.

It does not turn your Discord status into a transcript of your work.

Supported Apps

• VS Code shows the workspace and high-level editor state.
• OpenCode shows the project, high-level agent state, and detected model.
• Command Code shows the project, high-level run state, and detected model.

What Devvy Shows

Depending on the app and available information, Discord can show:

• Project name, using the workspace basename only
• High-level state such as Thinking, Editing, Planning, Running, Reviewing, Searching, Waiting, or Idle
• AI model name when the integration can reliably identify it
• A small amount of safe editor context, such as language

The display stays concise. A typical presence looks like:

Devvy
Thinking • GPT 5.6

The exact layout depends on the active app and available model information.

Privacy

Devvy intentionally shows only high-level context:

• Project name
• Current mode or activity
• AI model when available

Devvy intentionally does not show:

• Prompts or AI responses
• Source code or file contents
• Task descriptions or arbitrary commands
• Private filesystem paths
• Credentials, tokens, or secrets

Everything stays on your computer. VS Code, OpenCode, and Command Code send small structured updates to the local Devvy daemon at 127.0.0.1:17377. The daemon is the only component that communicates with Discord.

After Installation

Usually, nothing else is required. Reload VS Code after installation so the extension starts, then use one of the supported coding apps. Devvy starts and restarts itself in the background.

If VS Code is installed, Devvy looks for its bundled CLI directly inside the application, so you do not need to enable the code command in PATH. If the VS Code application is incomplete and its bundled CLI cannot be found, the installer stops with a clear error instead of claiming the extension was installed.

Uninstall

~/.local/share/devvy/uninstall.sh

On Windows, run uninstall.ps1 from the Devvy installation directory.

This removes Devvy's daemon, isolated runtime, logs, LaunchAgent, integrations, and Devvy VS Code extension. It does not remove unrelated LaunchAgents or extensions.

For Developers

The daemon owns Discord IPC. Integrations only publish safe structured state to the loopback HTTP endpoint, and the daemon arbitrates OpenCode, Command Code, and VS Code before creating one Discord activity.

The local test suite can be run with the bundled runtime after installation:

for test in daemon/test-*.mjs; do ~/.local/share/devvy/runtime/node "$test"; done
for test in daemon/test-*.sh; do "$test"; done
