What it solves

Minke provides a native desktop workspace for DeepSeek Harness, transforming it from a simple chat interface into a comprehensive, local-first environment for agentic work. It prevents workflow fragmentation by integrating essential tools—such as file management, terminals, and web tools—directly into a single application window.

How it works

Minke acts as a host for DeepSeek Harness, wrapping it in a native desktop application (Electron) with a responsive Web UI. It manages the local runtime and provides a bridge between the AI agent's capabilities and the user's local system. It can connect to local model runtimes like Ollama or LM Studio via OpenAI-compatible services.

Who it’s for

Developers and power users who use DeepSeek Harness for agentic tasks and want a professional, integrated desktop environment with local-first data privacy and remote access capabilities.

Highlights

• Integrated Workspace: Combines conversations, a syntax-highlighted file explorer, a real PTY terminal, and a browser into a single interface with independent tabs.
• Private Remote Access: Allows secure remote access to the local workspace via Tailscale Serve over HTTPS, enabling the use of the workspace on mobile devices as a PWA without streaming pixels.
• Local Model Support: Automatically discovers and connects to local runtimes like Ollama and LM Studio.
• Local-First Privacy: Keeps application state and browser session data on the user's machine within a defined data boundary.
• Keyboard-Driven Control: Includes a global Command Palette (Mod+K) and configurable shortcuts for fast navigation.
• Cross-Platform: Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
