About

HelpWire is remote access software for IT teams and technicians providing support across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Sessions start through a link: the remote user joins without creating an account or entering credentials, which reduces the coordination overhead. HelpWire sessions rely on direct peer-to-peer connections whenever possible, with relay fallback as a backup. For follow-up, unattended access lets technicians return to a device later without the remote user present, including after reboots. – No sign-up for the remote user – Reboot & reconnect – UAC elevation support – File transfer – Wayland support on Linux – Concurrent sessions – Multi-screen view – Two-factor authentication (2FA) – Firewall-friendly connections
