Hive vs Super Productivity
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hive and Super Productivity — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hive vs Super Productivity: at a glance
What is Hive?
Hive lets agents act on proof feedback and puts its tasks inside Claude and ChatGPT.
Hive is a project management suite with an increasingly strong creative-proofing layer and Buzz, an AI assistant that now spans dashboards, proofing and forms. In two days it shipped PDF text editing in which agents apply review feedback as a new version, review-progress counts in Proofing, Buzz reports on time data, batch-scheduled dashboard reports and a rebuilt mobile action card.
What is Super Productivity?
The device-surface push pauses; 18.21.2 repairs behind it and opens an Android URL scheme.
v18.21.2 follows the 18.21.0/18.21.1 pair with a patch weighted to repair: legacy data missing newer model sections is migrated, reminders no longer block overdue repeating-task cleanup, touch swipes stop moving schedule events, and the iOS add-task bar no longer jumps when the keyboard layout changes. Sync repair reliability and privacy handling are both tightened, and SuperSync gets processing and maintenance work on older operations. The three additions are small and surface-level: the currently tracked task now shows in the browser tab title, Android gains URL-scheme task actions, and the Turkish translation is refreshed.

Hive lets agents act on proof feedback and puts its tasks inside Claude and ChatGPT.
◆ Current state
Hive is a project management suite with an increasingly strong creative-proofing layer and Buzz, an AI assistant that now spans dashboards, proofing and forms. In two days it shipped PDF text editing in which agents apply review feedback as a new version, review-progress counts in Proofing, Buzz reports on time data, batch-scheduled dashboard reports and a rebuilt mobile action card.
◆ Where it's heading
Hive is building a review loop that agents can close: comments and Buzz AI suggestions now have an action path, not just a display. At the same time it is moving its work surface outward through MCP, so tasks show up in third-party assistants. Reporting and mobile UX are getting steady attention alongside both.
◆ Prediction
Expect agents to take on more write actions through the MCP connector, likely creating and updating tasks, as the proofing loop matures.
The device-surface push pauses; 18.21.2 repairs behind it and opens an Android URL scheme.
◆ Current state
v18.21.2 follows the 18.21.0/18.21.1 pair with a patch weighted to repair: legacy data missing newer model sections is migrated, reminders no longer block overdue repeating-task cleanup, touch swipes stop moving schedule events, and the iOS add-task bar no longer jumps when the keyboard layout changes. Sync repair reliability and privacy handling are both tightened, and SuperSync gets processing and maintenance work on older operations. The three additions are small and surface-level: the currently tracked task now shows in the browser tab title, Android gains URL-scheme task actions, and the Turkish translation is refreshed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 18.21 line is settling. After the device list, remote sign-out and opt-in presence arrived in quick succession, this patch spends its effort on the consequences of that push rather than extending it, migrating older data forward and keeping aged sync operations maintained. The one outward move is addressability: URL-scheme actions on Android join the token-guarded local REST API and the plugin OAuth hooks as another documented way to reach the app from outside it.
◆ Prediction
With the device surface shipped and this patch cleaning up behind it, per-device detail such as last-seen times or selective reset remains the open item in the SuperSync account surface. The Android URL scheme follows the same outward pattern as the local API and the plugin hooks, so a wider action list is the natural next step there.
