## How to run DSH sessions, files and Git in one desktop app with DSH Desktop

Repo: [vibeinging/dsh-desktop](https://github.com/vibeinging/dsh-desktop) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Install the packaged DSH Desktop app and work on sessions, files, Git, and terminal from one window.

**Who it is for:** A developer or knowledge worker who wants a ready-made local DSH workspace and does not want to set up the runtime or find plugins by hand.

**The problem:** Setting up the DSH web app, runtime, and plugins separately takes time, and plugin state can drift between tools.

**The outcome:** A running desktop app where the main window is the official DSH Web, with a sidebar for files, Git, and terminal, and a working directory attached to a session.

### Steps

1. Open the Releases page at https://github.com/vibeinging/dsh-desktop/releases/latest and download the installer for your platform.
2. Install and launch the app, then choose a working directory or create a new session.
3. Set your model credential in DSH settings.
4. Open the sidebar for files, Git, or terminal, and add files or folders in the input box when needed.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the vibeinging/dsh-desktop repository, list the installer files on its latest GitHub release for <platform> and report their names. Verify the result against the platform table in the README, which states the signing status for each platform.
```

### Caveat

The README says Linux x64 is in a testing invitation stage and macOS Intel has no official installer, so check the status column before you choose a platform.

Risk, credentials: Model credentials are managed by DSH settings and local environment, so store them only in that place and never in project files or screenshots.

## How to coordinate several DSH session windows as one team with DSH Desktop

Repo: [vibeinging/dsh-desktop](https://github.com/vibeinging/dsh-desktop) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Route tasks between DSH session windows and let one window act as team lead.

**Who it is for:** A user running several DSH sessions in parallel who wants them to hand work to each other and report results back.

**The problem:** Work split across separate DSH windows has no shared task flow, so the user must copy results and track dependencies by hand.

**The outcome:** A role-based group of session windows where messages and task results appear as real DSH messages in the target window, and the lead assigns tasks and dependencies.

### Steps

1. Open the plugin marketplace under Settings and confirm that @vibeinging/dsh-session-teams is installed, since it ships by default in new profiles.
2. In one session, tell the window to hand a task to another window by its name, and check that the message appears in the target window.
3. Ask one window to act as team lead, create a group of role-based windows, and assign tasks and dependencies in plain language.
4. Review the results members report back as messages, then adjust tasks in the lead window.
5. If you do not need the feature, run `dsh plugin --profile web remove @vibeinging/dsh-session-teams`.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the vibeinging/dsh-desktop setup, ask the session window <placeholder> to hand a short task to another named window and report whether the message appeared in the target window as a real DSH message. Verify that the team state is stored through the official Session API in the current profile and that no external network connection is made, as the README states.
```

### Caveat

The README describes the team behavior but does not list limits on group size or task count, so test with a small group first.

## How to continue a DSH session from a phone or browser with DSH Desktop

Repo: [vibeinging/dsh-desktop](https://github.com/vibeinging/dsh-desktop) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Enable remote access on your computer and keep the same session open from Remote Web or Android.

**Who it is for:** A user who starts work on a desktop and wants to answer prompts or send images from a phone while away from the computer.

**The problem:** A session that needs input stalls when the user leaves the desk.

**The outcome:** The same workspace and session open on a phone or another desktop, where the user can continue chat, send images, and handle permission requests.

### Steps

1. Open Remote in the sidebar and sign in.
2. Enable remote access for the current computer.
3. On your phone, open Remote Web at https://dsh.r2049.cn/app or the Android App, and open the same workspace and session.
4. Continue the conversation, send images, or respond to permission requests from that device.
5. If you do not need remote access, run `dsh plugin --profile web remove ds-harness-remote`.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
For the vibeinging/dsh-desktop project, confirm that the ds-harness-remote bundle is installed in <profile> and report whether remote access is enabled for the current computer. Verify that the Host opens only outbound connections, as the README states, and that no public listening port is exposed.
```

### Caveat

The README says there is no supported self-hosted server, and an independent security review and real two-machine cross-network testing are not complete.

Risk, credentials: Sign-in, device directory, signaling, and relay run on a third-party service, and device keys and credentials are stored in DSH_HOME, so review the remote notes before you enable it.

## How to build and run DSH Desktop from source with DSH Desktop

Repo: [vibeinging/dsh-desktop](https://github.com/vibeinging/dsh-desktop) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Clone the repository, install dependencies, run the diagnostics, and start the Electron app locally.

**Who it is for:** A developer who wants to test changes to DSH Desktop or build a local macOS Apple Silicon app.

**The problem:** A developer needs a working local build to test changes before a signed release is available.

**The outcome:** A running development build of DSH Desktop, or a local macOS app directory in the release folder.

### Steps

1. Install Node.js 24 or a later version.
2. Run `git clone https://github.com/vibeinging/dsh-desktop.git`, then run `cd dsh-desktop`.
3. Run `npm install`, then run `npm run doctor`.
4. Run `npm run dev:electron` to start the app in development mode.
5. On macOS Apple Silicon, run `npm run package:mac:dir` and then `open "release/mac-arm64/DSH Desktop.app"`.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Clone the vibeinging/dsh-desktop repository into <target-dir>, run npm install and npm run doctor there, and report the doctor output and whether it passed. Verify first that the Node.js version is 24 or higher, as the README requires.
```

### Caveat

The README says the local directory build is for development and that signed installers for ordinary users come from the GitHub Release.
