Harness Studio
Harness Studio is a desktop coding agent app for macOS and Linux that works with any model provider.
Harness Studio is a desktop coding agent app for macOS and Linux designed for software developers. It operates with whichever model provider the user has an API key for. Users open a project folder, select a model, and prompt the agent to make changes. The app features an integrated browser pane where the agent interacts with UI elements, reads pages, and views local DevTools logs. It bundles tools to generate editable office documents, design boards, live dashboards, charts, and diagrams without external software installation. It includes local speech-to-text transcription powered by SenseVoice, full-screen terminal capabilities, git history views, and Model Context Protocol connectors.
