CLUSTER AGENT-DESKTOP-NATIVE · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13

Desktop wrappers for CLI coding agents

This cluster comprises desktop applications that package command-line AI coding agent harnesses into native windows, eliminating terminal setup for users. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only two dated entries exist before the index start. Traction is led by deepseek-harness-desktop with 38 stars, followed by dsh-launcher with 5 and dsh-desktop with 2.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
