Hive is a private visual reference library for designers, illustrators, photographers, and creative teams.
Save references the moment you find them—Share Sheet, clipboard, Safari, and links—then keep images, video, and files in one library you actually control. No feed. No tracking theater. Just a calm place to store and reopen what you need.
Organize for real work
• Folders, tags, filters, and search built for reference retrieval
• Smart Folders to surface the set you need for a project
• Mixed media in one place: images, video, links, and files
Built for mobile creative workflows
• Fast capture on iPhone and iPad
• Browse and reuse references on the go
• Works with an Eagle-compatible library workflow on mobile
Privacy by default
• Your library stays yours
Hive is for people who already collect inspiration in Pinterest, moodboards, or Eagle on the desktop—and need a private, organized library on iOS.
Download Hive and turn scattered references into a library you can find again.
