What is it?
DSH Pal opens the DeepSeek Harness web workspace in an Android WebView and adds the pieces a phone or tablet needs: task progress in the notification shade, a unified connection manager, file picking and downloads, gesture back navigation, and layouts that adapt to phones, tablets, and split screen. The model itself runs on the paired computer, not on the phone; the computer must run DSH with the remote access plugin.
Connection options include a relay, Cloudflare Tunnel, a self-hosted HTTPS endpoint, Tailscale, WireGuard, and a USB development path. Network reachability and DSH pairing are checked separately, and saved endpoints can be switched later. Static and versioned plugin resources are cached locally, and diagnostics logs can be exported with redaction.
The project is a personal work in progress. The README lists open issues, including unresolved public-network reliability problems, untested WireGuard setups, and limited tablet verification, so it is best suited to developers already running DSH who can troubleshoot their own setup.
