Features

Everything you need to work with agents

Multi-repo management

Add GitHub repos and switch between them instantly. All your projects in one window.

Isolated workspaces

Full git clones on any branch, each in its own directory. No interference between experiments.

Persistent terminals

Real PTY sessions that stay alive across workspace and repo switches. No lost state.

Agent panes

Launch Claude Code or any CLI agent alongside your terminals in a flexible grid.

Copy workspaces

Duplicate a workspace including uncommitted work. Experiment without risk.

Live branch tracking

Sidebar updates when you switch branches in the terminal. Always know where you are.

How it works

Three concepts, zero complexity

1

Add a Hive

Link a GitHub repo by URL. Beehive stores the reference and metadata.

2

Create a Comb

Clone the repo to an isolated directory on any branch you choose.

3

Open Panes

Launch terminals and agents side-by-side. Work on multiple tasks at once.

CLI / TUI

Prefer the terminal?

Beehive TUI

A terminal-native interface with the same workspace management, embedded terminals, and shared config as the desktop app. One install command, no dependencies beyond git and gh. You'll be asked to choose bh or beehive as your command name.
