dsh-desktop-pet: A Whale Girl Desktop Pet for DeepSeek Harness
xiaoshihou514/dsh-desktop-pet
A whale-girl desktop pet for DeepSeek Harness that keeps you company while showing task progress and pending approvals.
dsh-desktop-pet adds a whale girl desktop companion to DeepSeek Harness, moving session state out of the window and onto your screen. It addresses the problem of not knowing how far the agent has gotten or whether a task is waiting for human approval, so progress and approval prompts are visible at a glance without switching back to the harness window. The plugin ships Linux and Windows desktop builds as AppImage, RPM and Windows installers, maintained by xiaoshihou514 under the MIT license.

What Does It Do?
Whale Girl Desktop Pet is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that turns your session state into an animated whale girl living on your desktop. It solves the problem of not knowing what the agent is doing while a task runs, showing work progress and approval requests right on screen instead of forcing you to switch back to the harness window. The plugin is maintained by xiaoshihou514 under the MIT license, created on 2026-08-14 and last updated on 2026-08-21.
Core Features
- Desktop companion: displays a whale girl on Linux and Windows desktops as a visual entry point to DSH status.
- Progress visualization: renders the current task's progress directly on the pet so you can see how far the agent has gotten.
- Approval notifications: alerts you when a task needs human approval, so work does not stall unnoticed.
- Cross-platform builds: ships as AppImage, RPM and Windows installers to cover common desktop environments.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling it in DSH, the whale girl appears on your desktop and updates as your DSH task state changes. Just start tasks in DSH as usual; progress and approval needs are reflected on the pet. To set up the desktop side, follow the README and grab the installer matching your platform from the releases page.
How to Troubleshoot This Plugin?
If the pet does not appear or its status stops updating, first confirm DSH itself is installed and running, then check that the plugin is enabled under the web profile. If the desktop app fails to launch, follow the README to re-download the installer that matches your operating system and architecture.
