DeepSeek Desktop is an unofficial open-source desktop shell for the hosted DeepSeek Chat website. Built with Pake and Tauri, it packages the web experience into a lightweight application rather than providing or running a local language model. The project targets macOS 10.15 or newer and Windows, with DMG, NSIS EXE, and MSI releases. Its frameless, resizable window provides a cleaner and more focused chat workspace than an ordinary browser tab. Developers can customize the target URL, application name, icon, and default window dimensions through the Pake configuration file. Node.js, Rust, and the Pake CLI are used for local builds, with platform-specific npm commands included. GitHub Actions automates multi-platform builds, version increments, and release publication.
