If you work with multiple AI coding agents, you know the friction. Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and plain shell sessions each live in their own context. Switching between them means losing state, reconfiguring environments, and juggling tabs. The solution is a single control plane that lets you manage AI agents from any device, without losing your place. Hive does exactly that, and it works with every agent and shell you already use.
The Problem of Scattered Agents
Most developers run AI agents directly on their local machine. That works until you close the laptop, switch desks, or need to share infrastructure with a teammate. Each agent session is tied to one terminal window, one device. If the network drops or you need to reboot, the agent’s context is gone.
To truly manage AI agents at scale, you need a runtime that lives on the server, not the client. A session that can be detached, moved, and reattached without losing a single prompt. That’s the core idea behind Hive.
One Control Plane for All Agents
Hive treats every agent the same way. Whether you fire up Claude Code, drop into a Codex agent, call Copilot, or run a plain bash shell, the connection goes through a single WebSocket. You see the same session list, the same output, and the same controls.
| Agent Type | How Hive Manages It |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Remote session, detachable, clusterable |
| Codex | Same as any other shell agent |
| Copilot | Works via terminal integration |
| OpenCode | Full support, notes sync |
| Plain shell | Direct terminal access |
This means you no longer need a different workflow for each tool. You manage AI agents from one dashboard, whether you’re on desktop, mobile, or web.
Detach and Reattach Anywhere
One of the biggest productivity killers is the fear of closing a terminal. With Hive, sessions live on the server. Close the app, switch devices, and reconnect exactly where you left off. The state, the scrollback, the active command – everything is preserved.
This is especially useful when you’re moving between a laptop, a desktop, and a phone. The same agent session can be picked up on any device. No need to restart or re-prompt. Just attach and continue.
Cluster Your Machines for Scale
As your agent workflows grow, you might need more than one server. Hive lets you join machines into a leaderless mesh. Every node is visible, you can route sessions across servers, and you can take over from another device without losing state.
Clustering changes how you think about infrastructure. Instead of assigning each agent to a fixed machine, you treat the whole cluster as one pool of compute. This is critical when you need to run long‑lived agents or share resources across a team.
The Notes Vault: Agent‑Aware Sync
Every conversation with an AI agent generates valuable context. Hive includes a synced notes vault that travels with you across every device. You can jot down observations, paste code snippets, or save prompts – and the vault is immediately available wherever you reattach.
This vault is agent‑aware: it knows which session you were in when you wrote a note, so you can always trace back to the exact context. It’s a lightweight replacement for a separate note‑taking app that never quite syncs with your terminal.
Pricing and Getting Started
Hive offers a simple licensing model that fits solo developers, professionals, and teams. You can pay once for a year of updates and keep that version forever, or subscribe to always stay current.
- Personal (EUR 39 one‑time / EUR 29 per year): 1 user, 3 devices, desktop/mobile/web, clustering, and notes vault.
- Pro (EUR 79 one‑time / EUR 59 per year): 1 user, 10 devices, priority support, cloud‑synced cluster profiles.
- Team (EUR 199 one‑time / EUR 149 per year): 5 users, unlimited devices, shared cluster profiles, onboarding help.

Start managing your AI agents the way they should be managed – from a single, resilient control plane.
Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to manage AI agents from a central control plane?
It means you run all your AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, shell) on a remote server and connect to them from any device. Hive handles session lifecycle, state persistence, and clustering so you never lose context.
Can I use Hive with any AI coding agent?
Yes. Hive works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and plain terminal shells. All are managed through the same WebSocket connection and interface.
How does Hive handle session persistence across device switches?
Sessions live on the server. When you close the app or switch devices, the session continues running. You can reattach from any other device and pick up exactly where you left off.
Is clustering included in the Personal plan?
Yes, clustering is available in all plans. The Personal plan includes clustering and a synced notes vault, though cloud‑synced cluster profiles are only in Pro and Team.
What is the notes vault and how does it help with AI agents?
The notes vault is a synced, agent‑aware notes system that travels with you across devices. It stores context, code snippets, and observations tied to specific agent sessions, so you can revisit them later.
