DeepSeek releases Harness desktop apps for macOS and Windows

DeepSeek has released desktop versions of its Harness agent software for macOS and Windows. The official download page offers an Apple silicon Mac build and a Windows version, bringing the software into a packaged desktop application..

Harness can work on local files, assist with coding, analyze spreadsheets and run tasks in the background, DeepSeek says. Its capabilities are organized as plugins that users can install or extend. The company also demonstrates a mode that creates plugins from conversational requests..

The software is available as an open-source preview, with continued changes planned for its plugins and core interfaces. Linux users are directed to the npm package, which can launch a browser interface after Node.js is installed. DeepSeek also provides the source code for developers who want to build or customize the software..
