How should I think about importing and Eagle compatibility in Hive?

Hive is a private visual reference library for iPhone and iPad that also fits Eagle-compatible workflows. The value is smoother capture, browsing, and organization on mobile, not a claim of official status.

Learn how Hive fits Eagle-compatible workflows and why the product is positioned as compatible rather than official.

Compatibility first, not affiliation

Hive works alongside Eagle-style workflows on mobile. It should be understood as a compatible companion workflow rather than the official mobile client.

Importing is part of a larger capture story

The real user job is getting references into a library that stays useful. That can include importing, capture from Share, bookmarked links, and project organization after the fact.

For Eagle users on mobile

People looking for Eagle on iPhone or iPad usually need a practical mobile workflow. Hive helps with that while staying clear about what it is and what it is not.

Questions

No. Hive is not the official Eagle mobile app.

Can Hive still fit an Eagle-oriented workflow?
