{"slug": "deepseek-harness-desktop-version", "title": "DeepSeek Harness Desktop Version", "summary": "DeepSeek Harness Desktop, a Tauri 2-based desktop application, lets users run the DeepSeek Harness agent platform locally without Node.js, pnpm, or Docker, with zero setup and self-healing core updates. The app, available for Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, and Linux, runs on 127.0.0.1:3080, keeps data local, and disables telemetry by default. First launch downloads the Node runtime and Harness core (~a few hundred MB), after which everything runs offline.", "body_md": "Run [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness) on your desktop, instantly —\n\nno Node.js, no pnpm, no Docker. Download, install, go.\n\n**English** · [中文](/hairyf/deepseek-harness-desktop/blob/main/README.zh.md)\n\n**Zero setup**— First launch bootstraps the bundled Node runtime and Harness core automatically; a compatible local Node (v22.15+ / v23.8+) is reused as-is when present.**Self-healing core**— Every launch syncs with the latest upstream Harness release, so upstream fixes reach you without reinstalling.** Local & private by default**— Runs on`127.0.0.1:3080`\n\n. Profiles, sessions and settings stay on your machine; telemetry is off by default.**Native & lightweight**— A Tauri 2 shell (not Electron): smaller installers, lower memory, native windows. Windows / macOS / Linux, bilingual UI.\n\nDownload the installer for your platform from [Releases](https://github.com/hairyf/deepseek-harness-desktop/releases), install, and launch.\n\nThe first run downloads the Node runtime and Harness core (~a few hundred MB) and takes you straight into the harness at `http://127.0.0.1:3080`\n\n. Everything after that runs locally — no network required.\n\n**Requirements:** Windows 10+ (64-bit) · macOS 10.15+ · Linux (AppImage) · network on first launch\n\n```\npnpm install      # install dependencies\npnpm tauri dev    # run in dev mode\npnpm tauri build  # build installers\n```\n\nRequires Node.js 20+, Rust 1.77+, pnpm 9+, and the platform toolchain (MSVC + WebView2 / Xcode CLT / WebKit2GTK).\n\n```\n┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐\n│ Tauri WebView (React)                        │\n│   setup state machine → progress → iframe    │\n│   loads the dsh web UI + sidebar controls    │\n└──────────────────────┬───────────────────────┘\n                       │ invoke commands + events\n┌──────────────────────┴───────────────────────┐\n│ Tauri Rust backend                           │\n│   service/download  installer + extraction   │\n│   service/workflow  dsh process lifecycle    │\n│   task              dsh health checks        │\n└──────┬───────────────────────────┬───────────┘\n       │                           │\n  runtime/ (Node.js v22.22.0)   dependencies/dsh/ (prebuilt bundle)\n       └─────────────┬─────────────┘\n                     ▼\n   dsh --profile web --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3080\n                     │  DSH_HOME=<app-data>/data/dsh\n                     ▼\n        http://127.0.0.1:3080/  ← embedded UI\n```\n\nThe prebuilt Harness bundle is published by [deepseek-harness-pkg](https://github.com/hairyf/deepseek-harness-pkg) (release contract: [docs/PKG-CONTRACT.md](/hairyf/deepseek-harness-desktop/blob/main/docs/PKG-CONTRACT.md)).
