Quickstart

Run DeepSeek Harness locally in a lightweight, zero-setup desktop app.

DeepSeek Harness Desktop packages the local runtime, Harness core, plugin management, and updates behind a native Tauri shell. Install it and start working—without setting up Node.js, pnpm, or Docker yourself.

Install

Choose the right installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

First run

Let the app prepare its local runtime and open Harness.

Understand the architecture

Learn how the Tauri shell, Harness service, and plugins fit together.

What the desktop app adds

• A native, lightweight Tauri 2 shell around the local Harness web interface.
• Guided runtime and Harness core installation with regional download fallbacks.
• Profile, core, and plugin controls in one bilingual interface.
• A registered dsh command for new terminal sessions.
• Built-in first-party desktop integrations and optional preset plugins.
• Desktop and Harness core updates without rebuilding your environment.

Harness can execute code on your computer. Use trusted repositories and plugins, review requested permissions, and prefer isolated workspaces for untrusted code.
