A self-contained DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin: balances, today's usage & app-usage in one bridge
🐳 dsh-whale-usage
Self-contained DSH plugin that merges two existing plugins into one, and adds an
accounting / real-time-token / app-usage configuration panel on the desktop whale widget.
Does not modify the original packages — it absorbs their source logic at the bottom layer, so it is immune to upstream updates. After installing, you can maintain two fewer plugins (dsh-whale-widget and dsh-usage-stats may be uninstalled).
✨ What it is
| Absorbed source | Capabilities | Original author / repo |
|---|
dsh-whale-widget | Bottom-right DeepSeek balance whale widget (balance, peak/off-peak pricing, random quotes & sounds, ledger / token usage modes) | zhu1090093659/dsh-web-ui |
dsh-usage-stats | Per-DSH-session app usage data engine (token trends, model breakdown, activity) | lanlandeli/dsh-usage-stats |
dsh-whale-usage is the bridge & merge product: it replaces both plugins above with a single
self-contained one. © credits: CREDITS.md.
💡 Features
- Whale widget — kept as-is: balance, today's usage, peak/off-peak pricing, sounds, draggable.
- Usage settings panel — click the whale button at the bottom of the sidebar to open the "Little Whale · Usage" overlay and configure:
- Accounting (ledger): accumulate today's usage from the balance delta (auto-resets daily and appends to the history ledger).
- Real-time tokens: compute today's usage from DeepSeek platform tokens in real time.
- App usage: show local DSH session usage (today / last 7 days Tokens, sessions, messages, most-used model).
🖼️ Screenshots
Usage config panel — usage mode / pricing / sounds / volume / peak times.
App-usage dashboard — tokens, sessions, messages, activity heatmap, top model.
Peak / off-peak pricing time periods (weekly).
🚀 Install
Install as a normal package — do NOT link it via a junction. A junction makes dependencies fail to resolve upward (e.g. schemastery / react) and desyncs the package name from cordis.patch.yml; both break DSH startup.
# Recommended — install from npm (published): https://www.npmjs.com/package/dsh-whale-usage
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-whale-usage
# or: npm install dsh-whale-usage
# From source: this repo (or after cloning it on the target machine)
dsh plugin --profile web add <absolute path to this folder>
# Or install the built tarball
dsh plugin --profile web add <path>/dsh-whale-usage-0.1.4.tgz
# Or use the convenience scripts
bash scripts/install.sh # macOS / Linux / Git Bash
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/install.ps1 # Windows
After installing, restart DSH and hard-refresh the browser (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R):
- the whale widget appears in the bottom-right corner;
- a "Little Whale · Usage" button appears at the bottom of the sidebar.
Because this plugin replaces the original two, uninstall dsh-whale-widget and dsh-usage-stats only after confirming this plugin works:
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-whale-widget · dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-usage-stats
⚙️ Configuration
config:
indexConcurrency: 2 # usage engine concurrency for reading historical sessions
cacheWriteDelayMs: 1000 # debounce before writing local stats
apiPath: /usage-stats/v1 # app-usage API prefix
Data is stored locally:
- Whale accounting / config:
~/.dsh/.dshw-*.json
- App-usage index:
$DSH_HOME/usage-stats
