DSH Mobile — the DeepSeek Harness in your pocket

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.

Latest release CI Android 8.0+ MIT

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.

Connect Chat Trajectory
Connect screen: recent harnesses with live reachability, discovery, manual entry and auto-connect toggles Chat: streamed turns with per-tool icons, tool cards, goal dock and composer Trajectory: a per-turn ledger with usage totals
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.
Session details Subagents
Details panel: context breakdown, goal, plan mode, jobs, queue, subagents, host information Subagent catalog with continuable children
Context breakdown, goal, plan mode, background jobs, queued turns, host info, session-log export. The subagent catalog — open a child's transcript, follow up, or interrupt it.

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:port entry, 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.7).

Quick start

  1. Install the latest APK from
    Releases.
  2. On your computer, make the harness reachable from your phone:
    • USB / emulator: dsh web, then adb reverse tcp:3080 tcp:3080 — in the app connect to
      127.0.0.1:3080.
    • Wi-Fi: apply the one-file LAN patch described in
      harness/README.md, restart dsh web, then tap Scan network
      in the app.
  3. Pick a session, chat, and get notified when the harness is done.

If a connect attempt fails, the app names the cause; the wiki's
Troubleshooting page is
keyed on that exact sentence.

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.
