DeepSeek Harness Desktop ​

Your agent should have a real workspace ​

DeepSeek Harness Desktop packages the complete Harness Web experience inside a supervised macOS application. It keeps the plugin-based architecture, model flexibility, tool execution, sessions, approvals, and sandbox controls of upstream Harness while adding desktop lifecycle, community discovery, configurable media generation, and a release channel people can understand.

Built for work that crosses formats ​

Code, research, writing, images, and video often belong to the same deliverable. Configure the providers you trust, keep approval-before-spend enabled, and the agent can select generate_image or generate_video when media materially improves the result. Generated artifacts appear as dedicated result cards instead of disappearing into raw tool output.

Extend by scenario, with trust visible ​

The plugin marketplace organizes community projects for design, programming, writing, model providers, gateways, and other workflows. Discovery starts from the dsh-plugin topic. Only a selected repository that passes pinned manifest and patch-target validation is labeled compatible; compatibility does not enable installation. The beta accepts GitHub, npm, and local source drafts for risk review, but does not execute imports.

Updates that follow releases, not noise ​

The app checks signed GitHub Releases, not every commit. A new version shows its release notes first; downloading and installing remain user decisions. The same app menu exposes the current version, update check, release history, author attribution, and feedback entry.

Start with the source beta ​

The first packaged target is Apple Silicon macOS. Until a Developer ID signed and notarized build is published, run or package the beta from source:

git clone https://github.com/KevPH2026/deepseek-harness-desktop.git
cd deepseek-harness-desktop
pnpm install
npm run desktop:dev

Continue with the Web workspace quickstart, configure a model provider, or learn how plugins are packaged and installed.
