HiveTerm vs Aider
Aider is an open-source CLI that pairs with you in one terminal session and commits as it goes. HiveTerm is the workspace around that: run several agents at once (you can even run Aider as one of them), with a sub-agent tree, your dev stack, and inline git review.
| Feature | HiveTerm | Aider |
|---|---|---|
| Agents collaborate in Meetings | ||
| Live split-pane grid of different agents | ||
| Claude, Codex, Gemini & Grok | ||
| Sub-agent tree (MCP) | ||
| Pins & notes, agent-managed (MCP) | ||
| Runs your dev stack (servers, workers) | ||
| macOS, Windows & Linux | ||
| Config-as-code workspace | ||
| Inline diff, commit & PR | ||
| Voice input | ||

Where HiveTerm wins
- Run multiple agents in parallel in a split grid instead of one CLI session.
- A built-in MCP server and a live sub-agent tree for orchestration.
- Your whole dev stack is config-as-code in hive.yml, with inline git diff and PRs.
When Aider is the better pick
- You want a focused, scriptable single-session pair programmer in your own terminal.
- You prefer a minimal open-source CLI with no desktop app.
