DSH Phone

Put DeepSeek Harness on your Android phone: the AI takes screenshots, taps, swipes, opens apps and runs commands by itself.

Install one APK → paste your API key → tap once. Everything deploys automatically and runs on-device.

What it does

• Two one-tap editions: Root (for rooted phones) and Shizuku (for unrooted phones) — install APK → paste key → deploy; Termux, Node.js, DSH and the Android control plugin are installed automatically.
• Native Android control: the agent can screenshot, tap, swipe, type, send keys, launch apps, read the UI hierarchy, install APKs and run shell commands.
• Hardware awareness: battery / brightness / volume / sensors, camera, microphone, TTS, media playback, notifications, vibration, location, and a manual confirm dialog before risky actions.
• Runs fully on-device: DSH lives in Termux + Node.js; the UI is the local web GUI at port 3080 (bundled WebView shell).
• Your API key stays on the phone: the APK ships with no key; your key is written only to ~/.dsh-api-key (chmod 600) — never embedded, uploaded or committed.

Choose an edition

Quick start

Download: open Latest Release and choose dsh-phone-root-*.apk or dsh-phone-shizuku-*.apk. Checksums ship with each release.

1. Install the Root APK (allow “unknown sources”).
2. Open the app and paste a DeepSeek API key (platform.deepseek.com).
3. Tap deploy → allow the superuser prompt → wait; the shell opens automatically.

Deployment is automatic: install Termux (bootstrap embedded) → configure mirrors → install Node/DSH → inject plugin & key → grant hardware permissions → start the server.

1. Install the Shizuku APK.
2. Open the app → tap deploy → follow the guide to install and activate Shizuku (Developer options → Wireless debugging → pair code, one time only).
3. Return to the app and paste your API key.
4. Tap deploy → wait; the shell opens automatically.

After a reboot, open Shizuku once to confirm auto-start; DSH is restarted by Termux:Boot.

Upgrading from the v0.1.0 shell: uninstall it first (v0.2.0 uses a new signature; your Termux/DSH environment is not affected and is reused automatically).

Usage

Open the app (or browse http://127.0.0.1:3080 on the phone) and talk to the agent:

From a PC: adb forward tcp:3081 tcp:3080, then browse http://127.0.0.1:3081.

Tool overview

All 28 tools are documented in plugin/README.md (Chinese).

Security & privacy

• On rooted phones the agent equals root: use a spare phone and keep payment / banking accounts off it; the Shizuku edition is also best used on a spare phone.
• Deployment automatically grants Termux:API camera / microphone / location permissions and a battery exemption; every result is printed in the deploy log and system privacy indicators stay visible.
• The APK and repository contain no keys; your key lives only in ~/.dsh-api-key (chmod 600). The DeepSeek text model cannot see photos or hear recordings — they are for the user or a future vision model.

More docs

Deep guides are currently in Chinese; the README itself is maintained in both languages.

Building from source

# Requires: JDK 17, Android SDK (platform-34 + build-tools 34.0.0), PowerShell, curl
powershell -File tools/fetch-assets.ps1          # fetch pinned Termux/Shizuku APKs (SHA256 verified)
powershell -File app/root/build-apk.ps1          # → app/root/out/dsh-phone-root.apk
powershell -File app/shizuku/build-apk.ps1       # → app/shizuku/out/dsh-phone-shizuku.apk

Zero-Gradle pipeline: javac → d8 → aapt2 → zipalign → apksigner. Toolchain paths come from ANDROID_JDK / ANDROID_SDK_ROOT or the jdk17/ and android-sdk/ directories next to the repo.

⚠️ Signing uses the repo-local apk/debug.keystore (gitignored — back it up; losing the v0.1.0 keystore is why v0.2.0 could not install over v0.1.0).
