deepseek-harness-desktop is all your need
Packages the DeepSeek Harness Web UI as desktop applications for macOS, Windows and Linux, so the app can be launched from an installer and the model API key configured without a terminal. The README covers per-platform install steps (including clearing the macOS quarantine attribute with xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine and running the Linux AppImage after chmod +x), running from npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web, running from a repository checkout, and automatic updates.
Install

Releases verified live 2026-09-16: latest tag v0.1.23.
Compatibility
Packaged for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows x64 and Linux x64 as a desktop app; the source path needs pnpm plus Node. The README carries the upstream developer-preview warning that DeepSeek Harness is iterating rapidly with compatibility-breaking changes.
