Table of contents
DeepSeek Harness for the Windows desktop: no Node.js install, no commands — double-click to run, with the official DSH web UI and plugin ecosystem fully preserved.
⚠️ Unofficial. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by DeepSeek. It packages the open-source
@deepseek-ai/dshdistribution as-is. The whale mark is the official DeepSeek Harness favicon used for visual consistency only, and remains a DeepSeek trademark.

Why another desktop wrapper?
Most community wrappers spawn the dsh web CLI and point a browser window at 127.0.0.1:3080. This one is different: the whole shipped composition runs inside the Electron main process (in-process integration), the frontend loads locally, and every /api request plus event downlink crosses an IPC bridge — zero ports, zero child processes, no local HTTP server. Sessions, goals, background jobs, and plugins are first-class local state: closing the window (to the tray) keeps them running.
Features
| 🧬 In-process host | Boots the official web profile with dsh-app-boot inside Electron's main process; no child process, no port, no HTTP server |
| 🔌 IPC transport | fetch / WebSocket shims in preload carry all RPC over Electron IPC; official client plugins run unmodified |
| 🪟 Frameless glass chrome | Custom 36px glass title bar (whale icon, version badge, ⋯ menu, min/max/close), Win11 rounded corners, startup splash — themed by the DSH UI's own CSS variables |
| 🛍️ Plugin store | The community store (ZASENJC) is built in: /store or Settings → Plugins → Plugin Store to browse, search, install and uninstall with one click; installs run the official dsh plugin add (npm / GitHub / monorepo subdirectories / tarballs) with the bundled pnpm — no console window, live progress, restart to apply |
| 💰 Session balance | Live balance and per-turn cost under the composer, click to top up |
| 📝 File changes + one-click restore | The "文件" button in the session header lists every write/edit the agent made (with +/− line stats) and restores them one-by-one or all at once — guarded by a hard fence (session-cwd/workspace roots only, dangerous extensions refused, snippet verification) |
| 🗂️ Sidebar workbench | Built-in better-sidebar: file explorer / editor & preview / real terminal / Git panel / sandboxed browser / subagent topology, isolated per session; title-bar compat mode is on by default — the sidebar buttons and tab bar are pushed down clear of the top chrome (strip height tunable in Settings → Side card) |
| ⬆️ Dual-channel updates | Channel 1: electron-updater self-updates from GitHub Releases (live download progress + visible installer); Channel 2: ⋯ menu "更新 dsh" installs a newer official @deepseek-ai/dsh and boots from it, with one-click rollback to the bundled copy |
| 🪟 Tray residency | Closing the window keeps sessions running; tray menu shows/hides, checks updates, quits |
| 🔔 Native notifications | Driven by the host's own event streams: approvals, questions, agent errors, dynamic-plugin run requests; reply-completion only while the window is in the background |
| 🏠 First-run home wizard | Pick a private data directory or reuse ~/.dsh; a live dsh web instance on the shared home triggers a conflict warning |
| 🛡️ Crash recovery | Renderer crash rebuilds the window and reloads the site; the host state survives (3 strikes per minute → give up) |
| 📦 Session export | In-process with taskbar progress, native save dialog, completion notification |
| 🐋 Official whale icon | The DeepSeek Harness favicon (black whale) rasterized to PNG, shipped with the app |
| 🧰 Log repair tool | scripts/repair-log.mjs fixes the upstream interruption-flush seq-reorder corruption |
Plugin ecosystem
DeepSeek Harness is built on Cordis with an "everything is a plugin" architecture: model adapters, tools, sessions, and the agent loop all run as plugins; external plugins plug in through profiles and bundles.
This app's own desktop features are standard DSH plugins (bundles + declarative patches), composed with the profile and recognized by dsh web too. CLI installs (shared profile):
dsh plugin --profile web add <package>
dsh plugin --profile web add github:<repo>

Quick start
- Launch the app; on first run pick a data directory (private by default, or share
~/.dsh) - Open Settings → Models and enter a DeepSeek API key (or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint); applies live, no restart
- Pick a workspace directory (native OS dialog) and start a session
This mirrors the official Quickstart — the desktop app boots the same web profile composition the CLI does, so models, workspaces, approvals, and plugin development behave identically.
One deliberate deviation: the CLI uses the invoking directory as the default workspace; the desktop app boots from the user home (override with DSH_DESKTOP_CWD), with workspace selection in the UI.
Build from source
Requires Node.js ≥ 20:
npm ci
npm start # run in development
npm run dist # build installers (output in release/)
