Hivecrew
Parallel AI computer-use workers in sandboxed macOS VMs
A native macOS app for delegating real desktop work to AI workers running inside dedicated macOS virtual machines. Dispatch tasks from a central dashboard, watch workers operate live, step in when needed, and review exactly what happened afterward. Each worker is fully isolated in a sandboxed VM via Apple's Virtualization framework — no access to the host system. Supports voice-first coordination, multi-model comparison, reusable skills, human-in-the-loop controls, and a REST API with Python SDK.
Key Highlights
- AI workers operate inside real macOS VMs via Apple's Virtualization framework — fully sandboxed from the host
- Voice-first coordination: talk to a coordinator AI via the Call tab instead of typing verbose instructions
- Human-in-the-loop: pause workers, intervene, approve sensitive actions, answer questions, or take over directly
- Multi-model comparison: run the same task across different providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini) and compare results
- Reusable skills for specialized tasks without rewriting instructions every time
- Recurring scheduled work: weekly reports, audits, routine checks run automatically
- Live supervision: watch workers operate in real-time with screenshot feeds and activity logs
- Session traces: readable audit trail of everything that happened during a run
- REST API + Python SDK (`pip install hivecrew`) for programmatic task control and event streaming
- Hivelink iOS companion app for mobile monitoring via CallKit, screen sharing, and notifications
- 25 releases in 3 months — extremely active development cycle
