Bots for any server.

Ensign is a small family of Discord bots. Each one does a single job properly: music, text to speech, event sign-ups, and an all-in-one bot for running your server.

The bots

Five bots, one job each.

Add only the ones your server needs. They share one look, one set of rules and one support server, so they feel like a single product.

Ensign Pepper

Music Live

Music for your voice channels. Search for a song or paste a link, and Pepper posts one tidy Now playing message instead of filling the channel.

  • Songs and playlists from YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify
  • Loop a song or the whole queue, shuffle, and set the volume
  • One Now playing message, replaced as each song starts
Commands
/play/queue/skip/loop/shuffle/volume

Ensign Finn

Text to speech Live

Reads messages aloud in voice chat, so people without a mic are still part of the call. Use /join in a voice channel and Finn reads that text channel aloud.

  • Dozens of languages, and seven English accents
  • Says who's talking when someone new speaks, or stays quiet
  • Reads links as “a link”, and skips spam
Commands
/join/leave/skip/voice/voiceuser

Ensign Indy

Text to speech Live

Indy works exactly like Finn. A Discord bot can only sit in one voice channel per server, so with both you can have a reader in two channels at once.

  • Same voices and settings as Finn
  • Reads a second voice channel at the same time
  • Only needed if you want two
Commands
/join/leave/skip/voice/voiceuser

Ensign Events

Sign-ups and attendance In development

Post an event and members sign up with one click. The roster keeps itself up to date, and afterwards you have a record of who turned up.

Planned
  • Attending, tentative and declined buttons
  • Times shown in each member's own time zone
  • Reminders, repeating events and attendance records

Ensign

All-in-one In development

The flagship. Everything a server needs to run itself, set up in a minute with sensible defaults, and built on Discord's own tools like AutoMod and timeouts.

Planned
  • Welcome messages, auto-roles and role menus
  • Moderation with numbered cases and a mod log
  • Tickets, suggestions, giveaways and levels
Where the names come from

Pepper, Finn and Indy are real dogs.

Pepper the chihuahua runs the music. Finn, a fox red Labrador, and Indy, a blue merle collie, read your messages aloud. Each pixel portrait was drawn from a photo of the dog it's named after.
