Description

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. Core 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.

Description

Customers can initiate a tech support session conveniently by either downloading a lightweight application or simply clicking an icon on their desktop, eliminating the need for prior installation. This allows you to gain immediate access to their computer. Once the remote support session concludes, future access is only possible with their explicit invitation, ensuring that your clients enjoy maximum privacy and reassurance. If you happen to be unavailable, customers have the option to set a 12-hour window during which you can connect while the computer remains unattended. Furthermore, you can receive a text message alerting you when a customer is ready for assistance. By selecting a customer from a list, you can access their computer at any time, provided you obtain one-time permission for unattended remote access. This arrangement allows for repeated access as needed. Additionally, customers can leave messages, request to be connected to another team member, or even automatically connect you when you log in. You will be able to view and control your customer’s computer just as if you were sitting right in front of it, creating a seamless support experience. This level of accessibility and flexibility significantly enhances the efficiency of your tech support services.
