- Shows the file you’re currently editing and your cursor position
- Displays the name of the workspace you’re working in
- Updates your Discord status based on the type of file you’re editing (JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, and more)
- Can be reloaded at any time to refresh activity tracking
- Reload Rich Presence — Refreshes the Rich Presence information
- Reconnect Rich Presence — Reconnects to Discord if the connection drops
- Disconnect Rich Presence — Stops sharing activity with Discord
