Open source

Built in the open, yours to run

Helix is an open-source project you can read, extend, and self-host. Nothing is locked away.

AGPL-3.0-only

The software is provided under the GNU Affero General Public License v3. Inspect it, modify it, and redistribute it under that license. Docs and media are CC-BY-SA-4.0.

Self-host as an appliance

The entire cloud platform packages into a single Docker image you can install on your own on-premise infrastructure — lightweight and fully feature-rich.

Adopt piece by piece

Every layer is a library or SDK. Install just the protocol core, the backend package, or the Android SDK — compose only what your product needs.

Get the source

Clone the monorepo — embedded firmware, edge OS, cloud, and clients — and start building.
