Hive is a lightweight, powerful desktop application designed to simplify modern web development.
No more spending hours configuring local environments, managing ports, switching between runtimes, or remembering complicated commands.
Hive gives developers a clean and organized workspace where they can manage their projects, services, runtimes, tunnels, and development tools from one place.
Add your project — Laravel, Next.js, React, Node.js, or any modern web application — and Hive creates a beautiful local development experience with automatic domains like:
your-project.test
Built with performance, simplicity, and developer experience in mind.
Modern development environments can become messy quickly:
- Different PHP versions
- Node.js version conflicts
- Manual hosts configuration
- Port management
- Docker complexity
- Repetitive setup steps
- Too many terminal commands
Hive tries to make local development feel simple again.
Open Hive → Add your project → Start coding.
That's it. 🐝
Forget:
localhost:8000
localhost:3000
127.0.0.1:5173

Hive is currently in active development.
A lot of things are being built, improved, and redesigned every day.
The project is not perfect yet — but the goal is simple:
Build a development environment that developers actually enjoy using.
Documentation is coming soon.
For now, we are focusing on building the core experience and making Hive stable.
(Also... we haven't bought the fancy .dev domain yet 😄🐝)
So currently:
- No expensive documentation website
- No polished docs portal
- No fancy marketing pages
Just developers building a tool for developers.
