DeepSeek Phone Harness is a tool that runs on a phone every day. It includes features such as chat, streaming typewriter, multi-turn sessions, tool cards, approval cards, model switching, image attachments, thinking disclosure, terminal, file browser, task history, and session management. The tool is currently a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means it is not a native app but covers most of the functionality.

It runs on Node.js 22 and above without any npm dependencies. The roadmap ahead includes adding push notifications, offline shell, PTY terminal, multi-device support, and a native shell. The community can shape the tool by opening issues with their most-wanted features or submitting pull requests to the codebase, which is relatively small at around 4000 lines of plain Node.js code.
