AndroidDSH 0.2.0 — DeepSeek Harness on Android

First public release. AndroidDSH runs the real DeepSeek Harness runtime and its
native web frontend on Android — no reimplemented UI.

Downloads

Both APKs are self-contained: the Node runtime, DSH's dependency tree, bash,
ripgrep and CPython are all inside the package. Nothing else to install.

File	For	Size
AndroidDSH-0.2.0-arm64-v8a.apk	Real phones (almost all modern devices)	~277 MB
AndroidDSH-0.2.0-x86_64.apk	Android emulators (x86_64 images)	~243 MB

Install with adb install -r AndroidDSH-0.2.0-arm64-v8a.apk, or copy it to the
device and open it (you'll need to allow installing from unknown sources).

These are debug-signed APKs. Installing a future release over this one works
fine; an APK signed with a different key requires uninstalling first.

What's inside

Component	Version
DeepSeek Harness (dsh)	0.2.0-rc.2
Node.js	22.23.3
GNU bash	5.2.37 (static)
ripgrep	15.2.0 (with PCRE2)
CPython	3.13.15 (+ pip 26.2.1)
pnpm / npm	10.34.6 / bundled

Highlights

• The genuine DSH web interface — sessions, trajectories, tool-call tree, sidebar,
  skills, goals, settings.
• The agent executes bash, python3, glob and grep locally on the device.
• Working directory is /sdcard/Documents/DSH, so file managers, USB/MTP and cloud
  sync see the agent's output immediately.
• Foreground service, so the agent keeps running when you switch apps.
• Full terminal panel in the sidebar with the bundled bash 5.2; pnpm, npm,
  npx and dsh are real executables on PATH.
• Plugin installation works, including the dsh-market visual plugin marketplace.
• API keys encrypted at rest with the Android Keystore (AES-GCM).
• Wide-screen mode for tablets: a 720 CSS px layout viewport with a narrow-screen
  fallback for the settings screen.

Requirements

• Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer. Verified on Android 16 / arm64.
• ~600 MB of free storage for install plus the first-launch runtime unpack.
• "All files access" (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) is requested on first launch for the
  public working directory. Decline it and the app falls back to its private
  directory with no loss of functionality.
• A DeepSeek API key, entered either in DSH's onboarding flow or the app's settings.

Known limitations

• No git and no C toolchain, so the agent can't run git commands and packages
  needing compilation won't install. Pure JS / pure Python packages are fine.
• pnpm's pass-through subcommands that need npm are handled by a bundled npm, but
  the ecosystem is not complete.
• MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is a sensitive permission; sideloading is unaffected but
  Google Play distribution would require a declaration.
