dsh-desktop-packager

DeepSeek Harness is a web-based tool, yet many teams need to hand it to colleagues or clients who prefer a native desktop experience. dsh-desktop-packager bridges that gap by wrapping a built Harness checkout into a standard macOS .app and a distributable .dmg, giving you a branded, self-contained desktop application with a single command.

The plugin adds a Desktop Packager menu to dsh web Settings, organized into four configuration tabs: Design (logo, app name, theme color, background color), Plugins (select which installed plugins to bundle), Models (choose which supported models to include), and Permissions (create accounts with passwords and assign view or edit privileges per settings page). At build time, theme variables are injected into the web runtime, user credentials are stored as salted scrypt hashes, and an Electron main process enforces a login gate with per-user page visibility and editability control.

It is built for developers who need to distribute DSH as an internal tool, package it as a client deliverable, or offer an offline desktop experience without a browser. The build host requires macOS with Node.js 22 or higher; the default output uses ad-hoc signing, and formal distribution is recommended alongside Developer ID signing and notarization.
