DSH Mobile — DeepSeek Harness Remote
An open-source Android companion that puts your DeepSeek Harness in your pocket.
Drive sessions, review plans and goals, answer approvals and questions, and get notified
when the harness finishes — from your phone, over your local network.
DSH Mobile is an unofficial companion app for the DeepSeek Harness (MIT), mirroring its web GUI feature-for-feature in the harness's own visual language. Android only, Kotlin + Jetpack Compose.

Recent harnesses with live reachability, LAN discovery, manual host:port, auto-connect. | Streamed turns, a glyph per tool, expandable tool cards, permission picker. | The same session as a per-turn ledger with usage totals. |

Features
- Connect effortlessly — auto-discovers a harness on your Wi-Fi (active subnet scan +
readiness handshake), remembers hosts and probes them for liveness on the way in, supports
manual
host:portentry, loopback for same-device setups, and auto-connect toggles (last used / LAN / same device). - Discord-style navigation — swipe right from the left edge to open the workspace-grouped chat list, swipe left to close it, swipe left from the right edge for the session details panel.
- Full chat experience — streamed turns with reasoning disclosure, markdown, terminal/diff/read/search/web tool cards, queue dock (edit / remove / steer), history paging, image attachments.
- Slash commands and skills — the composer adjudicates a
/line against the session's own command catalog and runs it through the harness's command gateway; anything the catalog does not claim is sent as a prompt, which is how skills are invoked. - Everything the GUI does — goals (phases, rounds, pause/resume/edit), plan mode + plan review, permission approvals, user questions, todo dock, subagents (catalog, follow-ups, interrupt), background jobs, workflow runs, skills, model selection, agent presets, session search, trajectory ledger, session export, message feedback.
- Notifications — turn complete, goal complete / blocked, review or question waiting for you; background connection via a foreground service.
- Looks like the harness — the exact DeepSeek Harness design tokens (colors, type, radii, disclosure rows, shimmer, ink buttons) with light / dark / system themes.
- 11 languages — English, 中文, हिन्दी, Español, Français, العربية, বাংলা, Português, Русский, اردو, ไทย (RTL aware).
Requirements
- Android 8.0+ (minSdk 26).
- A running DeepSeek Harness
(tested against
0.1.0-rc.5).
Quick start
- Install the latest APK from Releases.
- On your computer, make the harness reachable from your phone:
- USB / emulator:
dsh web, thenadb reverse tcp:3080 tcp:3080— in the app connect to127.0.0.1:3080. - Wi-Fi: apply the one-file LAN patch described in
harness/README.md, restartdsh web, then tap Scan network in the app.
- USB / emulator:
- Pick a session, chat, and get notified when the harness is done.
Compatibility & security
- See docs/COMPATIBILITY.md for the harness version matrix and loopback-only surfaces.
- Read docs/SECURITY.md first — the harness has no authentication; only use LAN mode on trusted networks. The app says so on the connect screen for the same reason.
Building
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # debug APK
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease # release APK (signed when keystore env is set)
The shipped version comes from the git tag: the release workflow exports DSH_VERSION_NAME from
the tag name, and versionCode is derived from it. A local build falls back to the literal in
app/build.gradle.kts.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the development loop against a real harness, the module layout, and the release workflow.
