DeepSeek Harness Desktop

简体中文

An unofficial desktop distribution of DeepSeek Harness for Windows and macOS. It bundles DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.6 with Electron, so end users do not need to install Node.js, pnpm, or source-code dependencies.

This wrapper is maintained independently and is not an official DeepSeek product. DeepSeek Harness itself remains a developer preview and may introduce breaking changes.

Downloads

Download the installer and SHA256SUMS.txt from GitHub Releases:

• Windows 10/11 x64: DeepSeek-Harness-Desktop-0.1.1-Windows-x64.exe
• Apple Silicon Mac: DeepSeek-Harness-Desktop-0.1.1-macOS-arm64.dmg
• Intel Mac: DeepSeek-Harness-Desktop-0.1.1-macOS-x64.dmg

The release is unsigned. Follow the safe platform-specific steps in Windows installation or macOS installation.

What this repository adds

The upstream repository contains the official Harness CLI, Web UI, plugins, and development source. This repository adds only:

• a small hardened Electron window;
• automatic loopback-only startup on 127.0.0.1;
• pinned, bundled runtime dependencies;
• Windows and macOS installers;
• native-architecture CI builds and SHA-256 checksums.

It does not fork or replace the upstream Harness business logic.

First run

1. Install and launch the application.
2. Configure a supported model provider in the Harness settings UI.
3. Select or create a workspace and start a conversation.

Model credentials are stored by Harness in its local configuration. The Electron wrapper does not read, upload, or log API keys.

Local data and privacy

Harness normally stores user configuration, credentials, sessions, and related state under .dsh in the user's home directory:

• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.dsh
• macOS: $HOME/.dsh

Uninstalling the desktop application does not automatically delete this data. Back up or remove it separately when required. The local Web UI binds only to 127.0.0.1; it is not exposed to the LAN.

Build from source

Requirements: Node.js 22+, pnpm 11.7.0, and the native operating system for the target installer.

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm test
pnpm run typecheck
pnpm run build

Build a native installer:

pnpm run dist:win
pnpm run dist:mac:arm64
pnpm run dist:mac:x64

macOS arm64 and x64 releases are built on native GitHub-hosted runners. See RELEASING.md for the complete release gate.
