“Secure remote terminal emulator and AI workspace right inside your pocket.” — HelixBox Engineering

How this works

Developers shouldn't be locked into massive desktop setups. HelixBox transforms your mobile device into a high-powered Remote IDE. By pairing your laptop terminal with our lightweight client app, you get access to all local directories, terminal tools, and testing commands right on the go.

The connection uses end-to-end encrypted tunnels. Your laptop remains behind firewall restrictions; no ports are forwarded. A proxy-relay acts as the messaging post, passing binary shell byte frames back and forth with microsecond latency. An AI agent runs inside the proxy container, watching for errors and performing repairs autonomously.

We believe in developer-aligned billing. HelixBox remains free as a local editor. When starting a remote session through our proxy-relays, you only pay for the time you use ($0.25/hour or $2.00/week) via USDC transactions settled by your Pera Wallet on Algorand.
