What is Helix?
A fleet of agents on your own infrastructure, every desktop visible.
Who is Helix best for?
Helix is best for engineering teams that run many coding agents in-house and want to watch or take over each one.
Teams running many coding agents
Each agent thread gets its own sandboxed Linux desktop with an IDE, terminal and browser, and one machine can hold up to 15 of them.
Code that must stay in-house
It installs on your own Mac, Linux server or Kubernetes cluster, can run air-gapped, and works with local models.
Teams across time zones
Agent desktops are shared, so a developer in another office can open a running task and carry on with its chat history and state.
Leads who review agent work
Every agent's desktop streams live to the browser, its files and terminals sit one tab away, and a person still approves each pull request.

Helix costs $299 a year for the Mac App or from $199 a year for Linux, Helix Cloud is $499 per user per month, and the Mac App comes with a 24-hour free trial.
