## Common questions

### What is Fish Pocket?

Fish Pocket is an open-source iOS app that puts the whole DeepSeek Harness (DSH) agent engine on your iPhone and iPad and runs it on the device. There is no computer to connect and no server to rent, and every screen is native. The name comes from the DeepSeek community, which nicknames DeepSeek “the big fat fish”.

### Do I need to keep a computer running?

No. Remote clients need a computer that stays on and online. Fish Pocket runs the engine inside the app, so your phone is enough. Only model calls need a network connection.

### Is Fish Pocket free?

Yes. The app is free and the code is open source under the MIT license. Model calls use your own DeepSeek account or API key, and the model provider bills you directly, not Fish Pocket.

### How do I install Fish Pocket?

We recommend the TestFlight beta, which is available worldwide and gets new versions first. The App Store version is available outside mainland China. You can also build Fish Pocket yourself from the source on GitHub.

### Which devices does Fish Pocket support?

Fish Pocket runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. On iPad it adds a persistent sidebar, a side workbench, multiple windows and keyboard shortcuts. The interface is available in Chinese, English and Spanish.

### Which commands can it run on the phone?

Fish Pocket includes bash, Node, pnpm, Git and Python, plus everyday commands such as rg, jq, curl, sed and awk. Node, Git and Python run as native code, with no emulator in between. It is not a full Linux system: it cannot compile native code or run Docker.

### How is it different from iSH or a remote client?

Linux emulators such as iSH and UTM SE interpret CPU instructions one by one, so they are very slow. Remote clients need a computer left running. Fish Pocket runs natively on the phone itself, with a native interface and task progress on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen.

### Are my conversations and code uploaded?

Not to the developers of Fish Pocket: we run no servers. Sessions and workspaces stay on your device, and model requests go straight to the provider you choose. The app has no ads and no third-party tracking.

### Does it only work with DeepSeek models?

Fish Pocket uses DeepSeek by default, with either a DeepSeek account or an API key, and you can configure other model providers.

### Can I install DSH plugins?

Yes. Fish Pocket has a built-in DSH plugin store, so you can search for, install and enable plugins on the phone. In a sample of the 50 most downloaded community plugins, 42 worked right away.

### Do tasks keep running in the background?

Yes. When you leave Fish Pocket a task keeps running, and its progress stays on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen.

### Is Fish Pocket made by DeepSeek?

No. Fish Pocket is an independent open-source community project. It is not affiliated with, authorized by or endorsed by DeepSeek.
