Distinguish
Triage Discord alerts from your menu bar
About Distinguish
Distinguish (aka the Discord Extinguisher) 🧯 Your Discord server is on fire. Not the fun kind — the #incidents, #ci-failures, #pagerduty kind. You could open Discord and drown in stickers, TTS bots, and someone's 47-message essay about their D&D campaign. Or you could let Distinguish live quietly in your menu bar and only show its face when something's actually burning. Click the tray icon, get a popover. That's the whole interface. No servers to browse, no DMs to dodge — just the channels that matter, streamed live, in one triage-ready feed. Features: 📥 Unified alert stream — real-time messages from only the channels you pick, via a live Discord Gateway connection, no polling, no refreshing 🚒 8-button triage bar — react with real Discord emoji (👀 🚨 🔧 ✅ and friends) written straight back to the server, so your team sees you responded without you ever opening Discord proper 📌 Local pinning — flag the messages that matter for later without touching the actual channel 🔍 Search & filter — cut the noise down to exactly the fire you're fighting 🔔 Smart desktop notifications — filtered so you're paged for the incident, not the deploy bot's 200th "build started" 🐢 Deliberately slow on purpose — reactions are one-click, human-paced, rate-limited (20/min) and never automated, because puppeting your own account is a privilege, not a bot farm ⚡ Cached server/channel tree — opens instantly instead of re-fetching your entire guild list every time 🕶️ No Dock icon, no distractions — accessory app that disappears until you need it Built for people who'd rather glance at a popover than doomscroll a server. Use responsibly — this thing runs on your own Discord account, so don't go setting off every alarm in the building just because you can.
