Platforms

Works with your platforms

Nowly shows what you watch, listen to, or play on the services you already use.

Product

A status that feels alive

A browser extension, a desktop app, and a library of signed scripts.

Automatic updates
Title, artwork, timestamps, and playback state refresh as the page changes.
Install what you need
YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, and more. Enable a presence from the library in one click.
Nothing extra on the page
Scripts run only on the sites you install, nothing runs anywhere else.
Signed scripts
Official presences are verified before they run, so the runtime stays under control.
Chrome and Firefox
Works on Chromium browsers and Firefox. The download button follows your browser.
Desktop app
The desktop app is the local bridge Discord actually accepts. Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Setup

The extension reads the tab. The desktop app sends the status to Discord.

Privacy

Your activity is not our product

What you watch stays on your PC, not on nowly.me.

Read the privacy policy

  • Nothing goes through our servers

    Extension, desktop app, then Discord. Title, platform, and playback never leave your PC.

  • No analytics unless you ask

    If you turn them on, they only help improve Nowly. You can turn them off at any time.

  • Only the sites you install

    A presence runs only after you install it. Remove it, and Nowly leaves that site alone.

01
What is Nowly?
Nowly shows what you watch, listen to, or play as Discord Rich Presence. It is a browser extension, a desktop app, and a library of platform scripts.
02
Does my activity go through your servers?
No. Activity stays local and is sent to Discord from your machine. Analytics are optional and off by default.
03
Which platforms are supported?
The live list is the library. New presences can be added without updating the extension, so install the ones you actually use.

Open source

Add a presence

Presence scripts are public. Fork, write, open a PR. The CLI and docs are enough to start.

presence.ts
const presence = new Presence()

presence.on("UpdateData", async () => {
  await presence.setActivity({
    details: document.title,
    largeImageKey: Assets.Logo,
