Redact Discord plugin

Delete your Discord messages right where you chat. Turn on the Redact Discord plugin to add a Redact button to Discord's conversation headers. Use it to delete messages, preview what matches, connect the Discord account you're signed into, or open Premium disappearing mode. Your Redact app handles the work locally, without sending requests through Redact servers.

Download Redact

Nothing extra to download. The Discord plugin is built into Redact. Turn it on from the Plugins page and the button appears right inside Discord.

Turn on the Discord plugin

  1. Open the Redact desktop app and sign in.
  2. Click your account menu in the bottom-left corner.
  3. Choose Plugins.
  4. Turn on the Discord plugin.
  5. Fully close and reopen Discord.
  6. Click the new Redact button in any channel or DM header.
If the button ever disappears after a Discord update, reopen Discord or hit Patch now on the Plugins page to bring it back.

Connect your Discord account

Use the plugin while signed in to a Discord account that isn't linked to Redact yet, and it offers to connect it. One click links the account so Redact can delete messages for it, and your Discord login stays on this device.

Delete or preview messages

Click the Redact button, then Delete messages, to open a simple dialog. Pick the channels or DMs you want to clean up, then send the request to your Redact app to finish.

Want to look before you delete? Leave the delete switch off and Redact just shows how many messages match, without removing anything. On the free plan this covers your last 30 days.

Filter by date

Premium
Premium adds a "Filter by date" switch inside the delete dialog. Turn it on, pick a start and end date, and Redact only clears messages from that window, anywhere in your full history rather than just the last 30 days. Upgrade to Premium to reach your full history.

Pick channels and conversations

The Channels button opens a picker. Search when the list gets long, tap "Select all", and choose any mix of channels, threads, forums, DMs, or group DMs.

Each row labels its type so you always know what you are about to include.

Disappearing mode

Premium
Premium only. Set a recurring schedule on a channel, DM, group DM, or whole server. Choose how long to keep messages, whether to only apply going forward, and whether to run more often for short windows.

Enable ghost sidebar markers to quickly see which channels, DMs, or group DMs have disappearing mode turned on. You can show or hide those channel markers from the Redact menu at any time.

This is a scheduled check, not real-time: it runs on this device while the Redact app is open.

See your deleted messages in place

With Local Archive turned on, messages you deleted with Redact reappear right where they were, shown faded with a small "Redact deleted" label. The name, time, and text stay readable, so the conversation still makes sense.

Only you see them, and only where you still have access. They are not restored on Discord, and you can toggle them on or off from the Redact menu.
