A Discord Rich Presence app for several DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton.

How to use

• Make sure you have the latest .NET Desktop Runtime installed. You can download it here through the official microsoft website

• Download the latest release from the releases tab.

• Run the executable to create initial configuration files. The software will continute to run in the background.

• Close the software by running to executable again. You can change the config to your liking.

• Upon running the software, if it has detected a DAW that is currently supported, your Discord presence should be updated automatically.

Roadmap

• [ ] Tray icon for easy access to the software
• [ ] Option to enable DAW Persistence upon first detection (keep the DAW presence after opening plugin windows, which can mess with the detection)
• [ ] Option to reset elapsed time when switching projects

Adding a new DAW

If you want to add a new DAW or want a maintainer to, you can do so by following the steps below:

DIY:

• Create a new branch in the format {username}/{DAWname}-support
• Create a new class in the DAWPresenceBackgroundApp/DAWs folder that inherits from Daw
• Provide required values, such as the process name, window title, and the DAW name
• Push the branch to the repository
• Create a pull request to the main branch
• A maintainer will review the pull request and provide feedback
• Once the pull request is approved, it will be merged into the main branch

Don't worry about the ApplicationId, one of the maintainers will provide those for you

Requesting a new DAW

• Create a new issue with the DAW REQUEST label
• Provide the name of the DAW and any additional information that might be useful (such as window title when no project is loaded, and when a project is loaded)
• A maintainer will create a new branch and add the DAW to the project for you
• You can then test the new DAW support and provide feedback
• Once the DAW is working as expected, the branch will be merged into the main branch

Custom Image Key

Some people might want a custom image on the rich presence. To bump the project a bit, I am making this exclusive to people that have starred this repository. For those that have, please contact myuuiii on Discord for more information. An example is shown below
