All your chat & voice.
A fraction of the RAM.
Discord ships its own browser — 650 MB idle, over 1 GB in a call. Orion does the same — chat, voice, screen share, communities — in about 200 MB. End-to-end encrypted. Your data stays yours.

We measured Orion and Discord side by side — same conditions, same machine. Here's the memory each one uses.
In a voice call Discord crosses 1 GB. Orion doesn't reach 300 MB — that's roughly 850 MB handed back to your game, your work, your everything.
About 200 MB idle — a fraction of what Electron apps eat. More RAM for your game, your work, your everything.
Forward-secret encryption with safety numbers, on by default. Not even we can read your messages.
We don't sell your data or shadow you with telemetry. Privacy is the default, not a paid tier.
Low-latency voice and screen sharing on our own SFU — no bloat, no battery drain.
Channels, roles, and granular permissions to run a community exactly how you want.
Real-time text channels with formatting, file sharing, and full message history.
Native app built with Tauri. Fast startup, tray integration, and system notifications.

Coming soonDiscord is built on Electron — it ships an entire Chromium browser and runs six processes. Orion uses the WebView already on your system, so there's no second browser eating your memory.
A tiny Rust + Tauri shell instead of a heavy runtime. Fast to launch, gentle on your battery, quiet on your CPU.
End-to-end encryption with forward secrecy, no ads, no tracking. We can't read your messages — and we don't want to.
