BeeHive: File & Media Manager

Stop searching, start finding. BeeHive transforms your scattered project files, assets, and backups across multiple drives into powerful, instantly searchable libraries.

Tired of your project files being scattered across internal drives, external SSDs, and network locations? Is your operating system's search slow, basic, and useless when a drive is offline? Do you waste time manually syncing project folders, fearing data loss or corruption?

Meet BeeHive.

Built from the ground up for creative professionals, developers, and power users who demand speed, organization, and rock-solid reliability. The result of over two years of dedicated development and exhaustive testing, BeeHive is not just another file manager; it's an intelligent command center for your entire digital workspace.

Key Features That Will Change Your Workflow

🗂️ Transform Folders into "Libraries"

Turn any directory—on any drive—into a self-contained, indexed "Library." Each library has its own lightweight database, allowing for blazing-fast, offline-capable search and management. BeeHive keeps a central registry to manage all your libraries seamlessly.

⚡ Blazing-Fast, Intelligent Search

Find any file across all your libraries in milliseconds, not minutes.

• Dual Search Modes: Real-time streaming search for deep queries and an instant synchronous search for quick lookups.
• Always-On: Search results from your external drives are available even when they're disconnected.
• Smart Filtering: Narrow down your search by tags, file types, specific libraries, and more.

🏢 The Revolutionary Workspace System

Stop juggling unrelated projects. Organize your libraries into context-aware Workspaces like "Game Development," "Video Editing," or "Client Work."

• Stay Focused: All searches and dashboard widgets are automatically filtered by your current workspace.
• Effortless Switching: Instantly switch between workspaces through the top switcher.
• Separate Favorites: Maintain both global and workspace-specific favorite files and folders.

🔄 Enterprise-Grade Sync & Backup

Sync with absolute confidence. BeeHive's sync system is built for professionals who can't afford to lose a single byte.

• Data Integrity Guaranteed: Optional SHA256 checksum validation ensures your files are copied perfectly, every time.
• Smart Conflict Resolution: You decide what happens with conflicting files: Keep Newer, Keep Local, Keep External, or be prompted.
• Intelligent Exclusions: Automatically ignore system files, caches, and node_modules. Add your own .gitignore-style patterns for faster, leaner syncs.
• Full History: Review, verify, and even re-run any past sync operation.

🖥️ A Modern, Customizable Command Center

Your workspace should adapt to you, not the other way around.

• Beautiful Themes: Choose from 8 professional themes (light and dark) to match your setup.
• Widget Dashboard: Build your own dashboard with widgets for Recent Files, Storage, External Devices, and more. Layouts are saved per-workspace!

🌐 Truly Cross-Platform

Your projects aren't confined to one OS, so why should your tools be?

• Seamless Compatibility: Create a library on your Windows PC, edit a project on your MacBook Pro, and sync it on a Linux server. It just works.
• Smart Path Management: BeeHive automatically translates file paths between operating systems, so you never have to worry about broken links.
• Universal Device Management: Safely manage and eject your USB drives, HDDs, and network shares from within the app.

🚀 Our Vision for BeeHive's Future

A Note on Our Roadmap: This document outlines our current vision and the direction we are excited to take BeeHive. It is a living document, not a guarantee of future features or a fixed timeline. As a project driven by passion, our priorities may shift based on user feedback, technical challenges, and community support. Your purchase is what makes this development possible and helps turn this vision into reality!

🎯 Near-Term Focus & Exploration

This is where our current development efforts are focused. We are actively exploring and working on these areas to improve the core BeeHive experience (Some of them could be included on the next major version).

💻 UI & Core Experience

• Dual Pane Interface: We are exploring the implementation of a classic, powerful dual-pane view to enhance file management and allow for more intuitive drag-and-drop workflows.
• Advanced View Modes: A key goal is to introduce more ways to visualize your assets, including highly-requested Column and Grid views.
• Offline Thumbnail Generation: We are working on a system to generate and store visual previews, with the aim of allowing you to browse your media even when the source drive is disconnected.
• Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts: We plan to provide options for you to map actions to your preferred hotkeys, giving you more control over your workflow.

⚡ File Operations & Performance

• Performance Enhancements: A major focus is on boosting performance. We are targeting significantly faster library operations, potentially with a new incremental sync engine, parallel file operations, and faster directory loading.
• Multi-Rename Tool: We plan to develop a powerful tool for renaming large batches of files using patterns, complete with a live preview and undo capabilities.
• Archive Handling: We are investigating ways to let you browse, search, and extract from common archive formats (ZIP, 7z, etc.) as if they were regular folders.

🔎 Search & Organization

• Duplicate File Finder: Leveraging BeeHive's index, we are exploring a tool to help you identify and manage duplicate files across all your libraries to save valuable space.
• Advanced Search Capabilities: Our aim is to enhance global search with more powerful tools, potentially including Regular Expressions (Regex), saved filter presets, and quick filtering options.
• Folder Size Calculation: We are looking into efficient, background-friendly ways to calculate and display folder sizes within your libraries.

🛡️ Backup & Archiving

• Enhanced Backup Options: We plan to explore more advanced backup features, such as optional compression (ZSTD, GZIP) and a potential "Archive Mode" for cold storage management.

🌟 Long-Term Vision (Potential Plans for V2 and Beyond)

This section describes our ambitious, long-term goals. These are the larger concepts that excite us and represent the next generation of BeeHive, contingent on the project's continued growth and your support.

☁️ Cloud & Network Integration

• Direct Cloud Sync: A major long-term goal is to integrate directly with services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and S3, allowing you to manage cloud storage as a native BeeHive library.
• FTP/SFTP Client: We envision a future where a built-in client could manage remote servers directly from the BeeHive interface.

🤖 AI-Powered Intelligence

• Smart Search & Auto-Tagging: Our vision for AI includes moving beyond filenames. We hope to explore content-based search ("beach sunset") and AI-assisted tagging.
• Content-Based Duplicate Detection: We are excited by the potential of using AI to help find visually similar images or audio files, even if their metadata differs.
• Intelligent Organization: A future ambition is to provide smart recommendations to help you organize libraries, identify unused assets, and clean up project clutter.

🔧 Pro-Level Tools & Extensibility

• Ecosystem of Integrated Tools: Our ambition is to build more than just an app; we're building a suite of tools. This could include a silent Auto-Sync Agent, a Quick Image Editor, or an Audio Playlist Manager. Our goal is to offer these future first-party tools, as they are developed, at no extra cost to Lifetime license holders as a special reward for their early support that enables this vision.
• Plugin System: A dream for the future is a full plugin system that would allow the community to extend BeeHive's functionality in countless ways for custom workflows.
• Integrated Terminal: We see the value in a potential built-in terminal for power users who need quick command-line access.
• File Splitting & Joining: We may also explore utilities like file splitting and joining for managing very large media assets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How many computers can I use BeeHive on?

Your Founder's License allows you to use BeeHive on up to 2 devices simultaneously. You can easily manage which devices are active through your personal customer portal. For example, you can deactivate it on your work desktop to activate it on your personal laptop whenever you need.

What if I need more than 2 devices?

If you're a power user or a team that needs more simultaneous installations, please reach out to us (support@monkeyslippery.com) for information on custom licensing options. We're happy to create a plan that fits your needs.
