About

HelpWire is a remote access tool designed for IT technicians and support teams to provide immediate assistance without complex setup. Operators send a simple link to the end user, who installs a lightweight client and grants access, enabling both attended and unattended remote sessions. The platform supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, offering features like end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication, and operator-based licensing without concurrent connection caps. It positions itself as a simpler, faster alternative to established remote desktop solutions, with a free tier available for individual use.
