Compatibility facts
Supported platforms and formats for Hive on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac
Hive is built first for mixed reference libraries on iPhone and iPad. It also runs on Apple Silicon Macs, while images, videos, links, bookmarks, and files stay together as one piece of project memory.
This is the practical page people reach for before download: can the app actually hold the kind of material the work depends on, or will the reference split itself apart again?
Built first for iPhone and iPad, with Apple Silicon Mac support
Hive is still best understood as a mobile-first reference workspace. It also runs on Apple Silicon Macs, but the strongest product fit remains capture, organization, and retrieval on iPhone and iPad throughout the day.
Built for mixed-media reference libraries
Supported reference formats include images, videos, links, bookmarks, and files because visual research usually depends on source material around the image as much as the image itself.
Use release notes for expanding support
The updates section is the right place to track newly emphasized formats, import improvements, and workflow-specific support as the product evolves.
Questions
Can Hive save links and files in the same library?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons Hive behaves like a reference library instead of a simple gallery.
Does Hive support video references?
Yes. Video is part of the intended scope because movement, pacing, and sequence often matter in reference work.
Where should I check for format updates?
Check the updates section and the support pages for the most factual representation of current support.
