Booster Perks

Off by default

Every member who boosts your server gets a personal role. Kovu makes it right below a role you pick, the booster names and colors it from a button (and gives it an icon at boost level 2), and Kovu deletes it a few days after the boost ends. You can also give existing roles while someone boosts.

Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.

Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
Changes apply in your server within a few seconds of saving.

Tips

Use Discord’s own Server Booster role as the anchor, so booster roles sit together in the role list. It must be below Kovu’s highest role.
Add the words you never want in a role name to Blocked words. Kovu also refuses the names of your existing roles, so nobody becomes “Admin”.
Boosting again during the grace period keeps the same role, so a member who renews late doesn’t lose their name and color.
Welcome & Leave thanks boosters with its boost message; Booster Perks only looks after their role.
