Whaleness — A Third-Party Mobile Client for DeepSeek Harness
Native Android and iOS apps with core business logic shared through Kotlin Multiplatform.

Website: Whaleness
Overview
Whaleness is an independently developed third-party native mobile client for DeepSeek Harness. Both Android and iOS apps use Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP):
shared is the source of truth for shared business state, including protocol handling, state machines, reducers, projections, and synchronization.androidApp implements the Android app with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and OkHttp.DeepSeekHarnessMobile builds the iOS interface with SwiftUI/UIKit and accesses shared logic through a Kotlin/Native framework.
Both apps connect to Harness over WebSocket through dsh-plugin-mobile-gateway. Both control and conversation traffic use WebSocket; native WebRTC transport is currently removed. Networking, secure storage, files, images, lifecycle handling, and background execution use native platform APIs. Business rules are consolidated in shared/commonMain wherever practical.
