DeepSeek-Desktop

Project Overview

DeepSeek Desktop puts the DeepSeek Chat web app inside a native Tauri window: 950×700 by default, hidden title bar, resizable, and faster to launch than a browser tab, while your account and chats stay in the DeepSeek web service. It is built on Pake, with GitHub Actions providing automatic and manual builds.

A more app-like DeepSeek window with every web feature intact.

Key Features

• Native window: Tauri hosts the web app at 950×700 with a hidden title bar for an immersive feel
• Cross-platform packages: dmg on macOS; both NSIS installer and msi on Windows
• Automated releases: pushing to the main branch builds macOS and Windows artifacts and creates a Release with an auto-incremented version
• Editable config: pake.json controls the packaged URL, app name, icon, and default window size

Quick Start

1. Download your platform's package from Releases: dmg on macOS, or the recommended DeepSeek-Desktop-Windows.exe
2. If Gatekeeper blocks first launch on macOS, right-click the app and choose Open, or press Open Anyway under Privacy & Security
3. On Windows, run the exe or msi and follow the wizard

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
macOS	10.15+, with separate Intel and Apple Silicon packages
Windows	NSIS and msi install formats supported
Build	Node.js 18+, stable Rust, Pake CLI

Notes

• Damaged-app fix: the unsigned build triggers Gatekeeper; open via right-click, allow in System Settings, or clear quarantine with xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine
• Web dependency: the app loads chat.deepseek.com; features follow the official web app
• Custom builds: change the URL in pake.json to wrap any site and rebuild
