Share a link
Start a private session in one tap. No account or setup required.
Help from anywhere
When someone you care about calls with a problem, see what they see and point to the next step. Start a session, then send them the private link.
It's this simple
Start a private session in one tap. No account or setup required.
They tap the link and allow their camera. Nothing to install.
Point and draw on live video so the next step is always clear.
Useful in real life
When a phone call turns into “What do you see?”, switch to Boons and solve it together.
Find the right input, cable, setting, or remote button.
Check the lights, ports, and connections together.
Point to a control and walk through the next safe step.
Make setup instructions visible instead of explaining blind.
Made for real-life help
Boons is an independent public beta founded and operated by Eric. It was made for the moment someone you care about asks, “Can you see what I'm seeing?”
Browser-based
Designed for current Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on the phones and computers people already use. No desktop is required.
Ready when they call
No install or account for either person.
Good to know
Boons is simple on purpose. These are the boundaries worth knowing before you send a link.
No. The helper starts a session and shares a temporary link. The other person opens it in their browser and chooses whether to allow camera and microphone access.
Use a current version of Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, or Chromebook. In-app browsers can restrict camera access, so opening the link in the phone's main browser is more reliable.
Boons is currently a free public beta for people age 18 or older who are located in the United States.
No. Boons never records or stores video, audio, drawings, freeze frames, or screenshots. A participant can still use their own device to record a screen, so share session links only with someone you trust.
For a direct WebRTC connection, the two browsers exchange the network details needed to connect, which can reveal an IP address to the invited participant. Boons does not retain those connection candidates. If a relay is needed, encrypted media passes through temporarily and is not saved.
No. Do not use Boons for emergencies or high-risk medical, gas, electrical, machinery, or other work that needs a qualified professional. Stop whenever a step feels unsafe.
Private by design
Boons never records or stores your video, audio, or screenshots.
