HelpWire

HelpWire is remote access software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. IT teams and technicians can start sessions by sending a link, so the remote user clicks it and joins without creating an account or entering credentials.



When follow-up is required, unattended access allows technicians to return to devices later without involving the remote user again. Sessions reconnect automatically after reboots.

To keep remote access responsive, HelpWire uses direct peer-to-peer connections by default, with relay fallback when network conditions require it. All sessions are encrypted with TLS and AES-256.



Main Features

No sign-up for the remote user – Reduce friction and speed up session initiation.

Reboot & reconnect – Continue support after system restarts without losing access.

UAC elevation support – Perform administrative tasks on Windows devices during the session.

File transfer – Move files between devices during support work.

Wayland support on Linux – Connect to Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora, and other distributions where Wayland is the default.

Concurrent sessions – Let one operator connect to several clients at once, or multiple operators join the same session.



Multi-screen view – Work across all client monitors without switching context.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) – Protect account access.

Firewall-friendly connections – Run support within restricted network environments.

Cross-Platform Support – Manage both Windows and Mac customers with ease.

100% FREE – Adopt a fully featured customer support platform without the need to waste valuable financial resources on expensive premium subscription plans.

User Interface

HelpWire boasts a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate. The stylish dashboard provides quick access to essential features, and the overall layout is designed to streamline the support process.



Most of the dashboard screen is focused on showcasing a live view of a remote PC, with chat timelines, user listings, and configuration tools all being placed for easy access.

The top of the app features an important tabbed interface that showcases the currently active connection, enabling the technicians to easily move from one remote screen to another.

With its intuitive design and easy access to a wide variety of built-in tools (such as file transfer manager, multi-screen view, and more), users can quickly adapt to the app's interface and efficiently carry out remote support tasks.
