What it does
DSH Desktop is a desktop app for DeepSeek Harness, an AI agent system with its own web interface and plug-in system. The app starts and manages the agent for you, adds a window, system-tray icon, terminal and automatic updates, and needs no extra software or commands.
It includes a plug-in marketplace for adding new abilities, and newer versions let you start tasks and check an agent's progress from your phone. The makers stress that the desktop shell itself is built as a plug-in.
It is an independent community project and says it has no official link to DeepSeek. The README warns that turning on local-network access has no password protection, so anyone on the same network could control the app.
Who it's for
People who want to try the DeepSeek Harness agent through a normal desktop app, and developers writing plug-ins for it.
