The record

Product: HelpWire provides on-demand remote support and unattended remote access for workstations.
Session setup: Operators can send a dedicated connection link so clients can join without creating an account or entering credentials.
Connectivity: HelpWire uses direct peer-to-peer connections by default and falls back to relay servers when a direct connection is not possible.
Remote control: During sessions, operators can control the remote keyboard, mouse, and clipboard, transfer files, and work with multiple monitors.
Client management: The web portal provides a client directory, profiles and notes, client groups, and a chronological session timeline.
Team management: Operators can be invited to an organization and assigned global or group-specific permissions for client access.
Security: HelpWire says remote session data is protected with TLS and AES-256 encryption, and web portal accounts can use OTP-based two-factor authentication.
Consent and trust: Clients must approve on-demand access, can revoke access, and HelpWire says its applications are DigiCert-signed.
Platform support: The operator app connects to Windows, Linux, and macOS devices; Linux support includes Wayland and X11, though login screen access is unavailable on Wayland.
Pricing status: HelpWire describes itself as being in early access, with all features currently unlocked and paid plans expected to launch in Q3–Q4 2026.
Free plan limit: The Free tier lists one active operator, five unattended devices, and one remote session at a time; the site says excessive usage may be automatically limited.
No-account option: HelpWire Quick Connect supports on-demand sessions without an account and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Intended users: HelpWire says it is designed for IT departments, managed service providers, and help desk teams.
Maker: HelpWire is a standalone division of Electronic Team, Inc., introduced in 2023; the company says its journey began in 2001.
