Frequently Asked Questions
How does Chive work?
Chive uses hooks to automatically detect when Claude Code events occur, and provides a unified dashboard to monitor all active sessions.
Is my code safe?
Absolutely. Chive runs 100% locally on your machine. It never sends your code anywhere. We don't even have servers! Everything happens on your computer.
What's included in the free download?
The free trial is fully functional for 75 minutes of running time (plenty to evaluate Chive thoroughly!) and it'll display the first instance indefinitely. When you're ready, purchase a license for unlimited use.
What versions of Claude Code does it work with?
Chive works with Claude Code version 1.0.38 and newer. It's automatically compatible with future updates.
Can I use my license on multiple machines?
Your license is per-user, not per-machine. Use it on your laptop, desktop, or any machine where you run Claude Code.
What are the system requirements?
Chive runs on macOS 15+ and requires Claude Code to be installed. That's it. It's lightweight and won't slow down your machine.
