CLUSTER AGENT-HARNESS-DESKTOP · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13

Local AI agent harness desktop apps

This cluster consists of desktop applications and installers that package, launch, and manage local AI agent harnesses, with an emphasis on Windows compatibility, bundled runtimes, and no-terminal user experiences. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from (only 3 dated entries before the index start), so it predates the index or its members are undated. Among the traction leaders, deepseek-harness-desktop leads with 134 stars, followed by dsh-studio and dsh-portable.

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 14 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
