Every tool, explained.
Helix is a complete operational-security suite — a shield for the device and a vault for your words. Here's the deep, honest breakdown of each capability: what it does, the threat it stops, who needs it, and where its limits are. $199/month, or 30% off paid annually.
🛡 Threat detection
Pegasus & mercenary-spyware detection
Real-time detection against a live 4,179+ indicator feed from Amnesty MVT & Citizen Lab.
Daily malware & virus scan
On-device file scan matched to the known-malware indicator feed.
BadUSB / Rubber Ducky shield
Freezes keystroke-injection attacks the instant a fake keyboard fires.
Microphone & camera spy detection
Alerts the moment another app reaches for your mic or camera.
Evil-maid & tamper detection
Catches an unexpected reboot, Secure Boot off, or a new admin account while you were away.
Evil-twin Wi-Fi detection
Flags rogue access points, gateway-MAC changes and unexpected DNS on the network you join.
Screen-mirroring & recording detection
Warns when your screen is being cast, mirrored, recorded or viewed remotely.
USB juice-jacking defense
Warns when a charging connection is also trying to move data, not just power.
🕶 Anti-coercion
Duress & decoy unlock
A second code that burns everything — or opens a genuinely empty decoy.
Deniable hidden volume
The real vault's very existence is unprovable under coercion.
Dead-man's switch
No check-in by your deadline → auto-burn and/or alert a trusted contact.
Remote wipe
Wipe a lost or seized device remotely — fail-safe, owner-authenticated.
Secure file shredder
Overwrite-then-delete so a file isn't just forgotten from the catalogue — with honest limits on SSDs.
Dual-control approvals
Require N-of-M trusted approvals before a high-value action goes through.
🔐 Unbreakable comms
Post-quantum encrypted messaging
Triple-layer hybrid encryption, safe against harvest-now-decrypt-later.
Our own onion network
Multi-hop, cover traffic, up to 2.5 Gbit/s — not Tor.
Built-in private VPN
Own relays, choose your exit country, fail-closed, zero logs by design.
Encrypted voice & video calls
Global HD calls with voice masking against automated voiceprint ID.
Voice masking on calls
Real-time pitch/formant shift to defeat automated speaker-ID matching.
Encrypted dead drops
Leave a sealed post-quantum payload for asynchronous pickup — no two parties online at once.
Steganography
Hide an already-encrypted payload inside an ordinary image — conceals that a message even exists.
Scheduled message send
Compose and encrypt now, queue it to deliver at a future time.
₿ Crypto & finance defense
Self-custody crypto wallet
BTC/ETH/USDT, keys sealed on-device, Shamir recovery. Not a custodian.
Address screening & poisoning protection
Catch typos, look-alike "poisoned" addresses and flagged wallets before you send.
Web3 wallet-drainer protection
Decode what a transaction really does before you sign it.
Crypto inheritance / dead-hand
Shamir M-of-N handover of your keys to guardians, on your terms.
SIM-swap / port-out monitoring
Awareness of the top account-takeover and crypto-theft vector — get your 2FA off SMS.
🛰 Physical & situational
AirTag / tracker detector
Sweep a car, bag or clothing for a hidden tracker with a warmer/colder locator.
Global traffic-camera finder
Find and watch official public cameras anywhere — scout a route before you move.
Panic SOS with location
A silent distress signal with your live location to a trusted circle.
Travel / border mode
One toggle to go dark and arm your defenses for a crossing.
Area-risk briefings
Public travel-advisory level and guidance by location, clearly sourced.
🔎 OSINT & monitoring
Phishing & link scanner
Vet a URL before it opens — punycode/homograph, look-alike domains, raw-IP hosts, credentials in the URL.
Breach / password check
Check your own passwords against known breaches — only a 5-char hash prefix ever leaves the device.
Domain-impersonation watch
Watch your brand via public Certificate Transparency logs and typosquat detection.
🧰 Privacy utilities
Built-in TOTP authenticator
On-device 2FA codes (RFC 6238) with no cloud sync.
Encrypted secure notes
Notes encrypted at rest, stored only on your device.
Photo metadata stripping
Auto-strip EXIF/GPS and PNG text chunks on-device before you share.
Hardened in-app keyboard
Keystrokes never reach a third-party cloud IME.
