Install with Homebrew

On macOS, Hive can be installed as a Homebrew cask from the project's tap:

brew tap honeyhive-ai/hive
brew install --cask hive

Upgrade later with:

brew upgrade --cask hive

This installs Hive.app into /Applications. The desktop app is Apple Silicon only — the cask is arm-only, so brew install on an Intel Mac reports no available build.

The DMGs are signed + notarized (Developer ID), so Gatekeeper opens the app normally — no xattr workaround needed — and it updates itself in place from then on.

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask hive          # remove the app
brew uninstall --zap --cask hive    # also remove local data/settings

Other platforms

Homebrew on Linux can install CLI formulae, but the desktop app is distributed as .AppImage / .deb / .rpm there, and as an installer on Windows. See Building the dist for all the bundle formats.
