What is HelpWire?

HelpWire is remote access software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Sessions start through a link, so the remote user doesn’t need an account or credentials to join. With unattended access, technicians can return later without the remote user present, including after a reboot. Secured with TLS and AES-256 encryption.
