Open one app
Checks your local Node.js environment, starts the pinned DSH package, waits for readiness, then loads the UI.
Unofficial community project
Harness power.
Desktop weight.
A lightweight Wails desktop shell for the official DeepSeek Harness Web UI. Native window, managed lifecycle, and three-platform releases—without a bundled browser runtime.

Desktop host
Everything is still a plugin.
The interface and agent runtime remain upstream. This app owns the native window, startup, logs, port selection and shutdown.

Why it exists
The official experience, minus the browser choreography.
DeepSeek Harness already ships a capable Web UI. This project gives it a native home and handles the repetitive desktop work around it.
Keep it local
Uses a loopback address and chooses another local port if 3080 is already occupied.
Close cleanly
Terminates the complete npx → node → dsh process tree when the desktop app exits normally.
A deliberate trade-off
Small download. Existing runtime.
The app uses the operating system WebView and downloads the pinned DSH package through npx. That keeps the desktop package below 10 MB, but means Node.js 18+ must already be installed.
Download

Architecture in one glance
A host, not a harness fork.
Model settings, sessions, plugins and agent behavior remain the responsibility of the official DeepSeek Harness runtime.
