DevSpace Desktop turns the existing DevSpace local MCP server into a desktop application for non-technical users. It manages project access, the local service, a Tailscale Funnel connection, and the ChatGPT setup flow.
The first release targets macOS and Windows and includes Simplified Chinese and English from the beginning.
Use Node.js 22.19 or newer for release work.
npm install
npm run dev
npm test
npm run build
npm run packnpm run pack creates an unpacked application for the current operating system. npm run dist creates the configured macOS DMG/ZIP or Windows NSIS installer. macOS release builds require a Developer ID certificate and notarization credentials; Windows release builds require a code-signing certificate. The application includes Electron and DevSpace Core, so end users do not install Node.js.
See the Chinese product design document for the planned scope and development decisions for implementation choices.
