welcome
ClioAPP
Welcome, @Marta! There are now 842 of us in Northern Bastion. Have a look at #rules and introduce yourself in #introductions.
Invited by @Hugo
Clio keeps the chronicle of your Discord community.
It welcomes whoever joins, hands out roles, logs what happens and knows who invited whom. You set it up from a web panel; the server only sees the result.
It's in open beta. It's free, and the core will stay free.
An ordinary Tuesday in Northern Bastion, as told by Clio
Northern Bastion is a made-up community of 842 people, and the names are made up too. What Clio writes is exactly what you'd see in Discord. Scroll right to see the whole day.

Hi Marta. I'm Clio, the bot for Northern Bastion. Groups for games are put together in #looking-for-group. If you get stuck on anything, post in #help and the staff will help you out.

Ruth has left the server. They were with us for 2 years and 3 months.
A message when someone leaves. You can turn it off, like everything else.
It works for any community
Clio started out on roleplay servers, which is why it pays attention to things like characters and ranks. But what it does is what any growing server needs: a proper welcome, roles without fighting the permissions screen, and knowing what happened while you weren't looking.
- Clans and game servers
- Roles on join, roles that stick if someone comes back, and a leaderboard of who brings in the most people.
- Creators and streamers
- A welcome that shows which invite someone used, so you know which video or stream brought each person in. Go-live alerts are on the way.
- Study and learning groups
- A DM with the rules on join, and a log of what gets deleted or edited.
- Fandoms and topic communities
- Auto role, goodbye messages, and soon button roles and sticky messages for the rules.
- Open source projects
- Logs split by channel: members, moderation, voice. Support tickets are on the way.
- Roleplay communities
- All of the above and, later on, community characters and sign-up with ranks.
What it does today and what's coming
No promised dates. The second list is in order: things at the top come first. For the latest, see the roadmap.
Ready to turn on

You set it up in a panel, not with a pile of commands
You log in with your Discord account, pick the server and fill in fields with plain names: "Message on join", "Channel", "Auto role". Next to them you see the message exactly as it will look in Discord, and nothing changes until you press Save. Only people who manage the server can get in.

Free during the beta. The core, free for good.
Clio is in open beta: it works, we use it on our own servers, and there will be bugs and changes. While it lasts you pay nothing and there are no hidden limits.
- What every community needs won't cost anything
- Welcome messages, roles, logs, invites, basic giveaways, embed messages and one ticket panel will stay free when version 1 comes out.
- Premium is labeled from day one
Features that will be paid later on already carry a label saying so, so you know which ones they are before you rely on them. During the beta they work like everything else.
Premium: free in the beta- You'll hear before anything costs money
- When premium becomes a subscription, it will be announced well in advance on the support server and here. People who were in the beta will get something in return.
