Valenced is a client modification for Discord mobile that adds plugins, themes, and early access to Discord's experimental features on Android and iOS.Is this a standalone app or does it modify the official Discord app?It is not a standalone app: Valenced is a bundle of code that gets loaded into the real Discord client, either through an Xposed module on Android or a tweak on iOS.
