The Helix field manual

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.
