A cross-server and cross-platform bridge bot that works just as fast as you can type 🚀
Inspired by matrix-t2bot
🔧 Setup • 📘 Wiki • ⛑️ Support
Unifier is a bot written in Python that allows communities to connect together to form global chat rooms, even across multiple platforms. It is made to be fast, versatile, and flexible.
We built Unifier to create a free, safe, and open conversing space, where the things we could talk about are limitless, as long as they are safe topics.
Like most bridge bots, Unifier has basic commands such as link, unlink, etc., so you can do most of what you'd need to do all on your messaging app of choice.
Using threading and optimizations, Unifier has been tested to be able to send up to 33 messages a second through webhooks, so nobody needs to wait to see your messages. Do note that this speed will vary depending on lots of factors.
With support for external platforms, you can bring your communities outside of Discord together, or get a break from Discord without losing your community. Unifier supports virtually any platform with the help of support Plugins, so the possibilities are endless.
We've written a platform support Plugin for Revolt, so give that a try!
After you assign bot admins, they can assign moderators, who can help moderate the chat and take action against bad actors. Server moderators can also block members and servers from bridging messages to their servers should they find it necessary.
- Message cache backups: Unifier's message cache is backed up on graceful shutdowns, so it remembers message IDs between reboots for replying, editing, and deleting.
- Easy management: Unifier comes with a built-in upgrader, so upgrading your instance is a breeze. Even new configuration keys are added automatically, so you don't have to worry about them.
- Message reporting: Users can report messages to Unifier moderators, so they can more easily take action against bad actors.
- Plugins support: Anyone can always code and install plugins for Unifier to extend its functionality. If you need help making your own plugin, you can always use our template.
- Database-free: No need to get a database up and running. Everything is stored locally on the same system you use to run Unifier, so things are easier to set up and your data is more portable.
- External bridge support: Unifier supports external bridge services like matrix-t2bot, so you can connect platforms beyond what we can cover and avoid reconfiguring too much.
Please follow our guides on GitBook to set up Unifier.

We want to thank:
- Nextcord, for continuing the discord.py project as Nextcord when it was discontinued, and also supporting context menu commands in a Cog
- Voxel Fox, for continuing the discord.py project as Novus when it was discontinued, which is the library we used to use until we moved to Nextcord
- Rapptz and discord.py developers, for creating the discord.py library Novus and Nextcord are based on
- Revolt, for creating revolt.py and an awesome open-source Discord alternative
- shayypy, for creating guilded.py
We also use the logging logger formatting code from discord.py, which is licensed under the MIT license. You can find more info in
the EXTERNAL_LICENSES.txt file.
As the project founder and leader, I want to give my special thanks to:
- ItsAsheer/NullyIsHere, for joining the team and helping me fix my shitty Python and adding a lot of amazing features to Unifier
- Ente Community, for offering me invaluable advice for open sourcing this project
- My best friend, for turning my life around for the better and always supporting me even at my worst
And lastly but most importantly, the late role model of mine I used to know very well: He's the one that brought me and my best friend together, as well as lots of other people together as well. Without him, I don't know if Unifier would have even existed, so I want to pick up where he left off and continue uniting people in his honor. I dedicate this project to him by open sourcing the code, so people can use it to bring people together just like how he did.
In return, we expect that all users honor those who made this project possible use the code responsibly. Please do not organize any hate groups or whatever with Unifier.
