What can I save in Hive?
Hive Image Organizer is built for images, videos, links, bookmarks, and files. The point is to keep reference material together instead of splitting it across photo apps, browsers, notes, and folders.
Images, videos, links, bookmarks, and files. Hive Image Organizer is built for visual references, not only photos.
Built for mixed reference libraries
Real research and inspiration libraries are not made of images alone. A useful system keeps source links, moving image references, and supporting files in the same place.
- Images for visual direction, styling, mood, and composition.
- Videos for motion, pacing, posing, or environmental reference.
- Links, bookmarks, and files for the source context around the reference.
More than a photo roll
Hive is reference-first rather than photo-storage-first, which changes how the library is organized and searched.
Built for project retrieval
The practical value is not just saving more. It is being able to return to the right references later through folders, tags, filters, Smart Folders, and search.
Questions
Can Hive save videos too?
Yes. Video references are part of the intended product scope.
Can Hive keep files and links in the same project?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons Hive feels like a library instead of a gallery.
Does Hive only work for images?
No. The product positioning is explicitly mixed-media because serious reference work usually includes links, bookmarks, video, and supporting files.
Why does mixed-media support matter?
Because a reference often depends on its source, context, and supporting material rather than on the image alone.
