About this plugin
When using DeepSeek Harness, the Web UI typically lives in a browser tab. For many users, a standalone native window feels more focused and less intrusive than a tab buried among others. dsh-plugin-desktop brings the Web UI into a DSH Desktop native application window, giving you a desktop-app experience for interacting with your Harness.
The plugin does not spin up its own server. By the time it loads, the Harness process is already listening, and the window simply attaches to it. The lifecycle is fully decoupled: closing the window never stops the server, and unloading the plugin closes the window while the Harness keeps running. Common edge cases are handled gracefully—if the server is bound to a non-loopback address the window stays closed with a clear log message, and launching again while the app is already running simply raises the existing window. This plugin is currently available for Windows only.
If you want a more native feel for your Harness on Windows, prefer keeping it out of the browser, or need the UI window lifecycle to be completely independent of the background service, this plugin is built for you.
Use Cases
- Access the Harness Web UI in a dedicated desktop window on Windows without browser tab clutter
- Close the UI window while the background harness keeps running for long-running tasks
- Use Harness as a day-to-day desktop app for a more focused interaction experience
Best For
- Windows users of DeepSeek Harness who prefer a native desktop experience
- Developers who prefer dedicated app windows over browser tabs
- Users running long-lived Harness instances who need the UI lifecycle fully decoupled from the server
