Overview / Description
I kept hitting the same problem with Claude: The native Claude app is great but it can be much better when you unlock capabilities of desktop rather than the terminal. Such as: - no task management - no structure - hard to work across multiple repos - everything becomes messy fast So I built a desktop app to fix that. Instead of chat, it works more like a dev workspace: • Kanban board → manage tasks and send them directly to agents • Session view → the terminal equivalent of Claude code for quick iteration when needed/long ongoing conversations etc • Multi-repo “connections” → agents can work across projects at the same time with context and edit capabilities on all of them in a transparent way • Full git/worktree isolation → no fear of breaking stuff The big difference: You’re not “chatting with Claude” anymore — you’re actually managing work. We’ve been using this internally and it completely changed how we use AI for dev. Would love feedback / thoughts It’s open source + free GitHub: Website: It leverages artificial intelligence to streamline fun tasks and boost productivity. Built for modern teams, Hive integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. Whether you are a solo.

Pros & Cons
Pros
• Unified Kanban board manages AI coding tasks and dispatches them directly to agents from one interface • Multi-repo support lets agents work across several codebases simultaneously with full read/write context • Git/worktree isolation runs each agent task in a separate worktree so breaking the main branch is impossible • Session view provides a terminal-like interface for quick iteration and long-running agent conversations • Open-source and free — full codebase on GitHub for inspection, forking, and self-hosting
Cons
• Desktop-only application — no web or mobile interface available • Early-stage project with limited community documentation and third-party tutorials • Primarily built around Claude Code — support depth for other listed agents may vary
