Collect from Safari with source links intact, import public Facebook photos and videos, and organize with a refreshed Home and customizable filters on iOS 26.
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.

I've been desperate to find solutions to sync and manage my eagle library for so long, this app actually provides everything I'm looking for. I've been using it for two months now and it receives constant updates from the dev, who is really responsive and would actively discuss or work on any improvements people bring up in the discord server. [[FIXED]] There are some small things I hope to get improved, but the fault lies on the now ruined twitter's api and there's not much the dev can do about it.Update after a year:The dev did some magic and fixed my only small issue with twitter's fetching, and everything works seamlessly now! I honestly did not expect this since it's a twitter side's blocking issue and I doubt much can be done about it on an ios client, but they somehow figured it out. I strongly recommend anyone thinking about getting the app to give it a go - for the year I've been using this app it's been receiving very constant feature updates and bug fixes. The dev has remained being super active in discord, answering questions, looking into any reasonable feedback/requests and really fast at bug fixes. It honestly makes me feel bad for how much work I've seen being put into the app versus how much attention it's getting. I'm bad at convincing people, but give it a shot seriously!!

The perfect complement to Eagle
Ryan Norbauer
Such an amazing and thoughtfully built app. I’m an industrial designer who collects visual inspiration all day every day in Eagle, and now I have access to those assets on the go. This has been a huge positive transformation to my workflow, and in many ways hive is actually better than Eagle in terms of user experience. Hive keeps getting better regularly with each update. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Hive! It's incredibly rewarding to hear that it has made such a positive impact on your workflow as an industrial designer.
Great app, fast developers!

Thank you for adding audio playback controls! Can we have similar 15s backwards/forwards for video playback controls? An easier way to access mute or PiP would be amazing as well!
Developer Response
Thanks for the support! The same gesture also applies to videos and is already usable in the current version. We will consider adjusting the mute area in the future. As for the picture-in-picture (PiP), we currently do not plan to make many adjustments, as the implementation here is relatively complex.
Great User Support / Fantastic Tool for Collectors

Basically, Eagle for your phone. The creators tackle issues fast and promptly. Honestly, never been so satisfied with a digital tool like this one before.
