Communication & CollaborationHive
Project management and team collaboration that replaces multiple apps at once.
Hive is a project management and productivity platform that combines task management, team messaging, file sharing, time tracking, and meeting tools in one workspace, targeting teams that want to reduce the number of separate tools they rely on for project coordination. It is used by cross-functional teams at agencies, software companies, and marketing organizations where projects involve multiple contributors and visibility across tasks, timelines, and conversations is regularly lost between disconnected tools. The core problem Hive addresses is tool fragmentation: many software teams run Asana or Jira for tasks, Slack for communication, Figma or Google Drive for files, and a separate tool for time tracking, and the coordination cost of keeping these synchronized drains productivity. Hive provides a flexible project management layer with multiple view types including Gantt, kanban, table, and calendar, paired with a native messaging feature that ties conversations to specific projects and actions rather than floating in a general chat channel. Its AI-powered features assist with summarizing project activity and drafting updates, which reduces the overhead of keeping stakeholders informed on complex projects.
Project managers, team leads, and operations managers at agencies and cross-functional software teams of 5 to 100 people who need a project management tool that also covers team communication and time tracking. The right signal to adopt Hive is when the team is maintaining more than two separate subscriptions to cover the project management, communication, and time-tracking layer and the friction of keeping those tools in sync has become a visible cost.

Multiple Project View Types
Projects in Hive can be viewed as a Gantt chart, kanban board, table, calendar, or summary view, and individual team members can choose the view that fits their working style without changing the underlying project structure. This means the engineering lead can look at a timeline while a designer looks at the same project as a kanban board.
Native Team Messaging
Hive includes a full team chat feature where messages can be anchored to specific projects or actions, keeping conversations contextual rather than requiring a separate trip to Slack to discuss a task. This reduces the number of places someone needs to check to stay current on a project.
Action Cards with Sub-Actions
Tasks in Hive are called actions and support nested sub-actions, assignees, due dates, file attachments, and linked messages, making them closer to lightweight mini-documents than simple checkboxes. This structure works well for projects where tasks have multiple dependencies or require hand-off documentation.
Time Tracking and Timesheets
Built-in time tracking lets team members log hours directly against actions, and managers can pull timesheet reports per person, project, or date range without a separate time-tracking subscription. For agencies and consultancies, this is a meaningful cost saving over maintaining a parallel tool like Harvest or Toggl.
Hive AI for Summaries and Drafting
Hive's native AI assistant can summarize project activity, draft status updates, and generate action items from meeting notes, reducing the manual overhead of keeping stakeholders informed on project progress. It operates within the project context rather than requiring the user to paste content into a separate AI tool.
Hive integrates with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, GitHub, Jira, Zapier, and over 1,000 other tools via native integrations and API connections, so teams can connect it into an existing stack rather than replacing everything at once. In a typical software company's stack it often starts as the project management layer and gradually absorbs communication and time-tracking workflows from adjacent tools as teams discover those features already exist inside the platform.
Commonuse cases.
Running a software product launch across engineering, design, and marketing teams
Hive lets cross-functional teams coordinate a launch on a shared timeline where each team's tasks are visible to others, with dependencies that surface when a blocker in one team risks the overall ship date. Project leads can send status updates or hold async standup summaries directly inside the project without switching to email or Slack.
Managing client deliverable workflows at a digital agency
Agency teams can build templated project structures in Hive that are instantiated for each new client, covering intake, production, review, and delivery phases with standard task assignments. Time tracking against those tasks feeds directly into billing or workload analysis without requiring a separate timesheet workflow.
Replacing a fragmented stack of Asana, Slack, and Harvest with a single workspace
Teams spending time keeping three separate tools synchronized can consolidate task management, project messaging, and time tracking into Hive and reduce the daily context-switching cost of maintaining that coordination. The payoff is most visible for small teams where the overhead of three tools is felt acutely relative to team size.
