whale-desktop-kit

DeepSeek Harness is a powerful local AI backend, yet by default it lives entirely inside a browser tab or a terminal window. If you want a custom wallpaper, a cute draggable pet on your desktop, or a quick balance check without hunting through settings, you have to leave the app and fight with the command line. whale-desktop-kit closes that gap: it wraps DSH in a polished desktop shell so that, from the first launch, it feels more like opening a native Windows application than poking at a web console.

The package bundles six tightly integrated modules. The desktop-experience module renders locally imported wallpapers (PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF are accepted after a safety scan and an optional transcode pass; SVG, remote URLs, and video are rejected), and exposes sliders for blur, glassmorphism, and per-panel opacity of the input bar and the sidebar. A top-edge dock slides in when the cursor reaches the very top of the screen, offering one-click toggles for the sidebar, the details pane, the desk pet, and the wallpaper engine. The centrepiece is a transparent, always-on-top black-whale desk pet that peels itself off the DSH window and drifts freely across your Windows desktop; a click pops a bubble with current balance, token usage, and cache-hit rate, while a right-click menu handles refresh, reset, and close. A personal-assistant module contributes a local to-do list, sticky notes, daily summaries, and one-shot document generation (plain text, docx, pptx, xlsx), every file operation confined to a single fixed workspace directory. The remaining modules add safe read-only parsing of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files; an auto-approval layer that silently clears read-only tool calls so you are not interrupted on every trivial step; and a native frameless desktop window with its own title bar, edge-dock auto-hide, system-tray controls, boot auto-start, window-state memory, and a single-instance lock.

If you run DeepSeek Harness daily, feel the browser-only workflow is getting in the way, and would rather have a wallpaper you actually enjoy, a little whale bouncing around your desktop, and handy local productivity tools without rewriting DSH internals, this kit is worth a ten-minute setup. It is MIT-licensed, contains no real keys or conversation data, degrades gracefully when the optional sharp image library is absent, and is built for DSH 0.1.0-rc.6.
