DeepSeek Harness Desktop (Unofficial)

A Windows desktop distribution for DeepSeek Harness, built with Pake.

It bundles Node.js and DSH, starts the DSH Web UI on an ephemeral loopback-only address, and opens it in a native Windows WebView. Users do not need to install Node.js or run dsh web themselves.

This is a community-maintained, unofficial desktop wrapper. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by DeepSeek AI.

Download

Download the latest Windows portable package from Releases. After extracting it, keep the dsh, node, and png folders beside DeepSeek Harness Desktop.exe.

First run

Open Settings → Models and configure your API key. The local DSH server is bound only to 127.0.0.1; it is stopped when the desktop app exits.

Build

Prerequisites: Windows, Node.js 22+, Rust, and the Tauri Windows prerequisites.
