What is it?
DS Harness Remote is a plugin for DeepSeek Harness that lets you continue a session running on your work computer from a phone, another PC, or a web browser. The Harness Host keeps its workspaces, tools and project setup, and remote clients act as another window into that environment.
The Host only opens outbound connections, so it needs no public port or public IP. Traffic uses a Noise-based end-to-end encrypted channel, with peer-to-peer connections preferred and TURN or server relay as fallbacks. The service can route connections but cannot read prompts, tool output or file contents.
Beyond the native Harness interface, the project offers workspace file browsing, read-only previews, remote terminals and an Android client. It also has experimental support for running Cursor, Claude, OpenCode, Codex and other local agent backends through the same encrypted channel.
Key features
- 01Access a local Harness instance from a browser, PC or Android device.
- 02Requires no public port or public IP on the Host machine.
- 03Uses end-to-end encrypted traffic with P2P-first connection and relay fallback.
- 04Provides workspace file browsing, read-only previews and remote terminals.
- 05Supports multiple clients connected to one Host at the same time.
Use cases
- Checking on or continuing a Harness session from a phone while away from your desk.
- Operating a development machine behind a NAT or firewall without opening ports.
- Running Harness on a home or office computer and using it from a laptop in another location.

Things to know
- Requires an existing DeepSeek Harness installation, since the plugin runs inside it.
- The Linux installer requires root and runs the Host and remote tools as root, and no Windows installer is provided.
- Some clients are still beta or experimental, including iOS, VS Code and the browser extension.
- By default it connects through the project's hosted server, so self-hosting requires extra setup.
