THE REAL DSH EXPERIENCE

Not another interface.
The DSH you know.

The desktop shell loads a local DSH Host through the system WebView2. It does not rebuild the chat or Agent core, so the workspace remains familiar.

  • Starts the Host on a loopback address
  • Renders the interface with system WebView2
  • Owns only lifecycle and distribution concerns

SIMPLE BY DESIGN

A lightweight shell with a clear boundary

The first preview focuses on Windows packaging, a self-contained runtime, and reliable lifecycle management without expanding DSH's core feature set.

  1. 01

    Start

    Launch DSH Web on a random loopback port without exposing a public service.

  2. 02

    Render

    Load the real DSH page through WebView2 and preserve its existing interactions.

  3. 03

    Manage

    The preview plans to unify single-instance behavior, tray controls, logs, and process cleanup.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official DeepSeek product?

No. This is a community-maintained Windows desktop wrapper and does not represent DeepSeek.

When will it be available?

The button will link to public GitHub Releases after installer, startup, single-instance, tray exit, and security checks pass.

Will the preview require Node or DSH to be installed separately?

The goal is no. It remains a planned capability until the final installer validation is complete.

Does this website collect usage data?

No. The site uses no analytics, cookies, forms, or third-party fonts. It serves only static product and release information.
