DSH-Folk

Project Overview

DSH-Folk puts DeepSeek Harness (a Node.js coding agent CLI) inside your phone: the app downloads a Linux container runtime for your device architecture, starts dsh web inside the container via proot / proroot, and then you open its Web UI right on the phone. It requires neither root nor Termux; when root, Shizuku or wireless ADB is available it uses them to relax certain restricted operations. The UI reuses FolkPatch, and the container and runtime delivery approach draws on DSHA / DSHM.

Run a coding agent on your phone without root and without a computer.

Key Features

• One-tap start/stop: start, stop and restart DSH from the home page, showing the running phase, Web UI address and run mode
• Container terminal: a real terminal inside the container, letting you operate directly in it
• Plugin management: manage DSH plugins in the container, showing download counts and popularity, with a built-in plugin store
• Virtual display: launch target apps on a separate virtual display that the container agent can screenshot, tap and swipe
• Config backup: same format as the desktop config-manager plugin, so a zip exported on the phone imports on a computer
• Theme and settings: reuses the FolkPatch theme system with grouped settings for general, appearance, behavior, features and security
• Privilege channels: optional root, Shizuku and wireless ADB channels, strict by default
• Runtime management: check for updates, switch versions and import local runtime packages, with an auto-check toggle
• UI patches: injects legacy-kernel compatibility shims, system bar insets and phone Enter-to-newline patches

Target Audience

• Developers who want a coding agent on their phone
• Android users who prefer not to root their device
• Users who need a portable AI coding environment
• Tinkerers who enjoy containers and runtimes

Quick Start

1. Download the APK for your architecture from Releases: arm64-v8a for phones, x86_64 for emulators or ChromeOS
2. Open the app after installing; the first launch downloads the runtime (about 150 MB) over the network
3. Wait for the runtime to download and the plugins to be pre-installed automatically
4. Tap start on the home page and open the Web UI address shown in the log
5. For privileged operations, pick root, Shizuku or wireless ADB under "Settings -> Security -> Privilege channel"

Core Advantages

• No root, no Termux: install and go, with no container environment to configure
• On-demand runtime: the first launch pulls the runtime for your architecture, keeping the installer small
• Optional privileges: enable root, Shizuku or wireless ADB only when needed, with no nagging by default
• Interoperable with desktop: the config backup format matches the desktop, so phone and computer can exchange files
• Separate virtual display: the agent works on its own virtual display without covering what you are watching

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Android 8.0 (API 26) or later
Architecture	arm64-v8a, x86_64 (32-bit not supported)
First launch	Network required to download about 150 MB of runtime
Storage	2 GB or more recommended

Notes

• Architecture must match: the wrong architecture prompts an unsupported message on launch and exits
• Web UI token: the access token in the log is effectively the password for that instance, so remove it before asking for help publicly
• Pre-install warnings are expected: the missing dependency warnings during plugin pre-install are expected; check the finishing message to confirm success
• LAN access off by default: the Web UI is reachable only on the local device by default; enable LAN access yourself if needed
