Desktop launcher for Deepseek Harness as a Chrome APP
Works — verified, early-stage project
Desktop launcher for Deepseek Harness as a Chrome APP It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.
“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.
README
dsh-chrome-app-launcher
A DeepSeek Harness plugin that creates a Windows desktop shortcut which launches dsh web in a Chrome app-mode window (no address bar / no tabs).
What it does
On every boot (Windows only), the plugin:
- Writes a small launcher
.batinto%LOCALAPPDATA%\dsh-chrome-app-launcher\launch-dsh.bat - Creates a Desktop shortcut
DeepSeek Harness.lnkpointing at it
Double-clicking the shortcut:
- auto-detects Chrome (registry
App Pathsfirst, then common paths, then Edge as fallback) - starts
dsh web --no-openin the background - waits for the port to become ready
- opens the Web GUI in a Chrome app-mode window (with a fresh
--user-data-dirso it is a real standalone app window even when Chrome is already running) - closing that terminal window stops the service
Configuration
Configure via settings.yaml (or the bundle patch):
chrome-app-launcher:
shortcutName: DeepSeek Harness # shortcut label
port: 3080 # dsh web port
Platform
Windows only (win32). On other platforms the plugin is a no-op.
