DeepSeek-R1 MacOS Application

The DeepSeek-R1 MacOS Application is just an Electron wrapper for the website. I prefer using a dedicated app for sites like this, as it’s much easier to manage compared to having everything scattered across multiple browser tabs. In my experience, browser shortcut apps often cause issues too, so this application provides a more seamless experience.

Installation Instructions

1. Download the app from the Releases tab. (x64 for Intel Macs, ARM64 for M-Series Macs)
2. Extract the .zip file after downloading.
3. Move the .app file to your Applications folder.
4. Run the app. If you encounter a security warning preventing the app from opening, you can bypass this by following these steps:
   • Open System Preferences.
   • Navigate to the Privacy & Security section.
   • At the bottom of the page, you’ll see an option to allow the app to open. Click Allow.

Alternatively, if the app still won’t open, you can run the following command in the terminal to remove the quarantine attribute:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DeepSeek-R1.app 

(But note this isn't general good practice)
