Hive

The productivity platform teams actually want to use

FreemiumFree TierAdded Sep 1, 2015

About

Hive is a project management platform that combines task management, time tracking, messaging, file proofing, and note-taking in one tool. It offers Gantt charts, kanban boards, calendar views, and portfolio views for managing multiple projects. Hive's built-in chat (Hive Mail) and proofing tools for creative assets reduce the need for separate communication and review tools. The AI-powered HiveMind assists with task creation and content generation.

Origin Story

By John Furneaux

The Problem

Project management tools were either too simple or too complex — neither fit how teams actually work.

Building It

Founded in 2015, built with a 'democratic' approach where users vote on the product roadmap.

What It Means

The best product roadmap is the one your users write.

The Dream

To build the productivity platform that adapts to every team's workflow.
