# DeepSeek Harness Desktop

> A native macOS shell for DeepSeek Harness

# A desktop home for DeepSeek Harness

DeepSeek Harness Desktop runs the Harness Web UI as a native macOS application. It starts and monitors the harness process, discovers its port, and loads the interface in a native window.

It is a shell—not a fork. A local Harness checkout stays untouched and can continue to follow upstream normally.
