Each machine becomes a hive
Your laptop, desktop, VPS, or home server gets its own hive with the agents running on that machine around it.
HivemindOSAgent management across all your machines
Turn your computers into an encrypted agent hive.
HivemindOS is a control room for people running multiple AI agents. Organize agents by machine, let orchestrators delegate to specialized workers, share an Obsidian brain, and sync env variables through a private Tailscale network.
Overview
Built for the moment one AI agent turns into a whole swarm.
A single chat window is easy. A laptop full of agents, a second machine, a VPS, scattered env files, and half-finished tasks is not. HivemindOS gives that mess a shape you can understand.
One shared brain
Agents can read and write to the same Obsidian workspace for notes, handoffs, skills, rules, and project memory.
Queen and worker agents
Create orchestrator agents that delegate work to specialized subagents with their own skills and task-claiming rules.
Env management across machines
Add environment variables once and sync them to trusted machines instead of copying secrets by hand.
Agent wallets and compute
Give agents controlled budgets for tools, APIs, and compute when you want them to act beyond chat.
Encrypted machine network
Connect your hives through Tailscale so machines can communicate privately without exposing public ports.
How it works
Hives for machines. Bees for agents. One brain for shared context.
The model is simple: each machine is a hive, each agent is a bee, orchestrators can delegate to workers, and every trusted machine can share the same private workspace.
Connect machines through an encrypted Tailscale network.
Use an Obsidian vault as the shared brain for notes, handoffs, skills, and task context.
Sync environment variables to trusted machines while keeping secrets out of shared notes.
Install
Start with one machine. Add hives as your agent setup grows.
git clone https://github.com/LiamVisionary/hivemindos.git cd hivemindos ./setup.sh # dashboard usually prints: http://localhost:5020
- Install HivemindOS on the machine you use most.
- Open the dashboard and see each machine as a hive.
- Create queen agents, worker agents, skills, and task rules.
- Connect your shared Obsidian brain and sync env variables to trusted machines.
