HearthWire turns the computers in your home into one simple, private network. No cloud, no accounts, no monthly fee. If you have more than one Windows PC at home, you know the little frustrations: emailing yourself a file to get it to the other room, walking a USB stick down the hall, asking "is the printer computer on?", or trying to talk your parents through a problem over the phone. HearthWire makes all of that just work. Install it on each PC and your computers find each other and start working together in under a minute. Send a message that actually pops up. Ping any computer in the house, or the whole home at once. Ask for a reply and it stays on their screen until they answer. Every message is kept in a searchable history, so nothing gets lost. Share and sync folders, your way. Open another PC's photos and documents from your own. Or keep a folder copied and up to date on every computer, so it is there even when that PC is off. No uploading, no cloud. Your files travel straight between your own machines, encrypted. Run programs and stream movies from another PC. Map a shared folder as a network drive and open programs installed on a different computer, or play a movie straight from the other PC with nothing copied. It starts instantly, like a local drive. Share one printer with the whole house. Plug a printer into one PC and print from every computer at home. It shows up in all your apps, with no drivers to hunt down. Fix your home network in one click. This is the part no one else does. When your PCs cannot see each other, HearthWire's Network Doctor checks and repairs the Windows settings that usually cause it, the network profile, the firewall, the discovery services, in plain language with a single prompt. No command line, no support call. Help your family, the easy way. With their permission, view or take control of a family member's screen to sort out a problem. There are no confusing dialogs for them to navigate, and they can stop it at any moment. Finally, a calm way to help mom and dad, right from your own screen. Private by design. No accounts. No servers. No cloud. No tracking. Your messages and files stay on your home network, encrypted, and only computers you invited with a code can join. We never see any of it. Buy once, for the whole home. One purchase covers your household. Install it on the family's PCs under your Microsoft account. No subscriptions, no per-computer fees, no upsells. Every feature is included. Available in 11 languages, switching automatically with your Windows language: English, Francais, Deutsch, Espanol, Portugues, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Japanese, Hebrew, and Arabic. A note on honesty: HearthWire works over your local home network, not the internet, and seeing or controlling another person's screen always needs their permission first. Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Install one copy on each PC you want to connect.
