Now in early access

The local control room
for AI coding agents.

Claude, Codex and terminal agents. One cockpit. Your Mac.

Hive Desktop coordinates specialized coding agents across isolated git worktrees, a shared backlog, live terminals, token budgets and review gates — so you supervise the work instead of juggling prompts.

AI coding got powerful. The coordination layer is still you.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor-style agents and raw terminals can all write code. The missing piece is a local operating layer that routes work, isolates branches, tracks cost and makes review/merge explicit.

Switching between chats, CLIs, branches and terminals
No shared backlog or status across agent sessions
Parallel agents overwriting context or stepping on branches
No reliable view of what changed, what passed, and what still needs review
Token costs climbing without per-project visibility

One cockpit for the messy parts
of agentic coding

Built for developers who want agent autonomy with explicit control over worktrees, cost, review and merge.

Multi-provider orchestration
Run Claude, Codex and terminal-based agents from the same project cockpit. Pick the right runtime per agent instead of locking your workflow to one vendor.
📋
Shared backlog and handoffs
Keep tickets, status, agent messages and deliverables in one place. Agents can pick work, request review, pass context and report completion.
🖥
Live terminals with memory
Watch every runtime stream in real time. Sessions persist across views, so you can inspect what happened without digging through shell history.
🔀
Reusable delivery workflows
Define repeatable flows like plan → build → review → fix → merge. Agent output becomes structured context for the next step.
📁
Git worktree isolation
Each agent works in its own git worktree. You can compare outputs, detect conflicts, keep clean branches and merge only after review.
📊
Token and cost budgets
Track tokens, session cost and project usage while agents run. Keep autonomy bounded by visible budgets instead of surprise invoices.
🔔
Review gates and notifications
Get notified when an agent needs input, finishes a ticket or requests approval. Hive keeps the human in the merge loop.
🧩
Role and workflow templates
Start from specialist roles and common delivery patterns: backend task, frontend polish, QA pass, security review, documentation and release prep.
🔒
Local-first by design
Hive runs on your Mac, against your local repositories and your configured CLIs/API keys. Your code does not need a new hosted workspace.

Specialists are useful.
Supervision makes them shippable.

Hive pairs role prompts with worktrees, tickets, terminals and handoffs, so specialized agents produce inspectable work instead of isolated chat output.

🔐 Security Auditor · Reviewing auth flow
# Security Auditor received task from Architect agent
# Ticket #42 · Review JWT implementation in AuthService

$ Audit the JWT token generation and validation logic

Scanning app/Services/AuthService.php...
✗ CRITICAL: HS256 algorithm used — prefer RS256 for asymmetric signing
⚠ WARNING: Token expiry set to 30 days — recommend 15 min + refresh
⚠ WARNING: No token revocation mechanism implemented
✓ PASS: Tokens are not logged or stored in plaintext
✓ PASS: HTTPS enforced via middleware

Writing security report → delegating fixes to Backend agent...
→ Ticket #43 created: "Migrate JWT to RS256 + add refresh token flow"

From backlog to reviewed work
without losing control

01
Connect a local repo
Point Hive to your codebase, choose the target branch and open a project control room with backlog, agents and worktree state.
02
Route work to agents
Assign tickets to Claude, Codex or terminal agents. Each one gets the right prompt, runtime, session and isolated git worktree.
03
Review, approve, merge
Inspect outputs, changed files, cost and status. Approve clean work, send fixes back to agents or merge when the branch is ready.
