How it works

Three steps, no magic

1

Open a project

Add a project folder. HiveTerm detects your stack automatically.

2

Set up your agents

Add agents and commands. Configure in the UI or write a hive.yml.

3

Watch them work

All in one app. They work in parallel, you just watch.

Bring your own agent

Works with the CLIs you already use

Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Kimi, OpenCode, Amp, Cline, Grok, plus any dev server, watcher, or build command. No lock-in, no reselling your tokens.

Auto-detects Node, Laravel, Rust, Go, Python & Rails the moment you open a project.

Loved by developers

Built for people running real agent teams

"I'm CTO of a group with five-plus companies, so three or four projects open at once is just my normal day. Doing that across Cursor and the stock macOS terminal was a mess, and I kept losing track of which agent was doing what. So I built HiveTerm. Today I run 4 projects and 9 agents in parallel and know exactly what each one is doing."

"Three things running at once: Claude Code, Codex, and my dev server. Hive is the first time I could actually watch what each one was doing instead of alt-tabbing and guessing. And the sub-agent tree got me. Claude spins up its own helpers and you just see them show up."

Features

Everything your stack needs, in one window

Define it in YAML, review and ship with git, search every file, and talk to your agents, all without leaving HiveTerm.

Config as code

Your whole stack in one hive.yml

Define every agent and process once. Commit it to the repo. Your teammate clones, opens the project, and gets the exact same workspace, same agents, same env, same instructions.

  • Per-bee env, working dir, auto-start and auto-restart
  • Restart-on-file-change for watchers and dev servers
  • System-prompt instructions injected at agent startup

Review, commit, and ship without leaving HiveTerm

A live diff panel, inline commit and push, one-click pull requests. When an agent finishes, hit "Ask Claude" and it writes the commit message for you.

  • Diff panel with per-file +/- counts and PR status
  • Inline commit, push and create-PR, no context switch
  • Syntax-highlighted file viewer with VSCode-style search
File explorer & search

Find any file, search every line

A built-in file tree and VSCode-style search across your whole project, fuzzy-find by name, or grep every line with case, whole-word and regex toggles.

  • Fuzzy file finder, basename-weighted, jump to any file in a keystroke
  • Find in Files with case, whole-word and regex; results grouped by file, jump to the exact line
  • Syntax-highlighted viewer (Shiki, 37+ languages) that respects your .gitignore

Talk to your agents

Press a key, say what you want, and the text shows up in the agent's input. Useful when you've got an idea but don't feel like typing two paragraphs.

  • No API key to set up. Transcription runs on HiveTerm's own service, included with Pro.
  • It handles dozens of languages and auto-detects the one you're speaking.
  • The transcription lands in the input. Nothing gets sent until you hit enter, so you can clean it up first.

Pins & Notes

Pin it now, deal with it later

Pin any line of output to a per-project checklist, keep notes under it, and let your agents manage both over the built-in MCP server.

  • Pin output from any terminal, even full-screen TUIs like Claude Code. Each pin gets a title and an editable body.
  • Agents create and check off pins over MCP, so Claude can track its own plan as it works.
  • A notes scratchpad per project that autosaves as you type.
Decision · 3 agents
Claude
Option A is cleaner, but it's two more days.
Codex
Option B covers the main case and ships this week.
Decision · Orchestrator

Go with B. It ships this week and covers the main case. A is cleaner but costs two more days. Both agents agreed: start with B, revisit if usage grows.

Every discussion ends with a card like this. The decision, not the scrollback.

Discussions

Your agents, working as a team

Pick a template, write the topic, choose who's in. One agent runs the rest while the others debate, plan, or build. You read it all as a chat thread, and the call comes back as a single card.

⌘⇧J → pick a template → write the topic → watch them work

And the details that keep you in flow

Split view

Four different AIs. One screen.

Split your window into a live grid, Claude Code on the left, Codex on the right, your dev server and tests below. Four different agents from four vendors, every pane a real terminal, all visible at once. No more alt-tab roulette to find which agent needs you.

HiveTerm split panes, Claude Code, Codex and a dev server running side by side in one window

Any layout

Drag panes into 2-up, 3-up, or a 2×2 grid. Resize live, no restart.

Named split groups

Save a layout as a group, "Backend trio", "Review pair", and reopen the whole arrangement in one click.

One keyboard, every pane

Focus follows your click, type into any agent without losing the others.

Crash recovery built in

Processes auto-restart on non-zero exit. When an agent crashes, you see the exit code, the last 30 lines, and a Restart button.

Notified, not interrupted

Build done, test failed, agent stuck? You get a native OS notification, not a blinking tab you might miss.

Warm, themeable, yours

A warm light/dark palette that follows your OS, five bundled mono fonts, and a UI translated into English, Portuguese & Spanish.

Every shortcut, yours

Remap, disable or reset any keyboard shortcut in Settings → Hotkeys. Conflicts are caught as you bind, and the essentials, tab switching, copy and paste, stay protected.

Built-in MCP server

One agent can spawn a whole team

Through a built-in MCP server, your agents spawn their own sub-agents, read each other's output, and ping you when they're done, and you watch the whole tree live in your sidebar.

Delegate on demand

An agent hands a piece of work to a fresh sub-agent and keeps going on its own task, no setup from you.

Project-isolated

Sub-agents only see the agents and processes in their own project. No cross-talk, no surprises across workspaces.

You stay in the loop

Every sub-agent appears in the tree with live status, and any of them can fire a native notification.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which agents does HiveTerm support?
Any CLI agent, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and Grok are first-class, with one-click flag presets. You can also run any other command-line tool, dev server, watcher, or build process as a "bee".
Do you resell tokens or lock me into a plan?
No. You bring your own subscription or API keys. HiveTerm never proxies your agents or resells tokens. Your code and agents stay on your machine.
What exactly is the MCP server?
A local Model Context Protocol server we call the Queen. It picks an available port automatically and exposes 20 tools that let your agents spawn sub-agents, message each other directly, read each other's output, and send you notifications. Sub-agents are isolated per project.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10/11, and Linux. The app is built with Rust + Tauri, so it's small and fast, around 20MB.
Is my code or terminal output sent anywhere?
No. Your code, terminal output, and clipboard never leave your machine. Analytics are cookie-free and contain no personal data or terminal contents.
What do I get for free?
1 project, 2 agents, and 3 MCP sub-agents per agent, plus unlimited terminals and commands, and the full terminal, config, and git features. Pro lifts every limit for $99/year (regional pricing applies).
How many machines can I use Pro on?
A Pro license activates on 2 machines. Licenses validate offline and keep working for a 7-day grace period after expiration.
Is there a trial or refund?
Yes, a 14-day free trial with no credit card, and a 30-day money-back guarantee if Pro isn't for you.
Can I run multiple AI agents at the same time?
Yes. HiveTerm splits its window into a live grid so you can run Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Grok and your dev processes side by side, every pane is a real terminal, all visible at once. You watch them all work instead of tabbing between single-pane terminals.
What are named split groups?
A named split group is a saved pane layout, say, one agent writing code next to a dev server, a test watcher, and a second agent reviewing the diff. Name it, switch to it instantly, and reopen the same multi-agent workspace every time.
Is HiveTerm an Orca (ADE) alternative?
Yes, with a different philosophy. Orca isolates agents in git worktrees so they race on a task; HiveTerm makes agents collaborate in Discussions: one orchestrates the others to debate, review, plan or build a feature together, and your dev stack runs alongside as managed processes. See the full comparison on our compare page.
Can Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity work together on one task?
Yes. Start a Discussion (⌘⇧J), pick the Dev squad template, write the task, and choose the team. One agent orchestrates: it splits the work with exclusive file ownership, the others build in parallel in your repo, cross-review each other and close with a delivery report, cross-vendor teams included.
