Privacy by default,
calm by design.

“A workspace should hold your thinking, not harvest it.”

Hive’s App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. Your library is yours, with no tracking, no feeds, and no pressure to perform.

Questions, answered.

What can I save in Hive?

Hive is built for images, videos, links, bookmarks, and files, so your references live together instead of being split across separate tools.

Who should use Hive?

Hive is built for photographers, designers, illustrators, and interior teams who need a quiet, private space for their reference libraries. If you need a faster retrieval system than the camera roll or a more private alternative to Pinterest, Hive is for you.

Is Hive a Pinterest alternative?

Yes, but it serves a different moment. Pinterest is strong for discovery. Hive is built for saving, structuring, and retrieving references in a calmer private workspace.

Can Hive organize reference images on iPad?

Yes. Hive is designed around folders, tags, filters, Smart Folders, and fast search so iPad can function like a practical reference workspace.

What makes Hive different from a photo app?

Photo apps are built around media storage. Hive is built around reference retrieval, project grouping, and creative workflows that combine images, videos, links, and files.

Can Hive import and read Eagle libraries?

Yes. Hive supports an Eagle-compatible workflow. If you already use Eagle on your desktop, Hive acts as a mobile layer for capture, browsing, and triage.
