BearDrive

The open-source shared folder for your team's AI agents

BearDrive launched on August 12, 2026 with 191 votes, #164 of 23,274 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

What it does

Your AI agents create real files locally: reports, decks, CSVs, research. BearDrive syncs the folder they already work in, so every file is born shared: versioned, attributed down to the agent session, with links only your team can open. Unlike Notion or Drive, nobody moves anything; a teammate's agent reads your agent's work at a real local path seconds later. Works with Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, Gemini CLI, any local tool. Open source and self-hostable. Managed service free during beta.

BearDrive is a shared folder every AI agent on your team reads and writes. Real files at real paths, with a link and a full history seconds after they

A shared folder for teams who work in docs, not code. Everyone keeps their own agent — Claude Cowork, Codex, Gemini — and they all read and write the same files, with a link and every version kept. Three teammates, each with their own agent, work in one shared folder: Maya's Claude Cowork drafts an announcement, Yuki's Codex adds sales objections to the launch plan, and Sam's Gemini turns the timeline into a checklist. The shared workspace for teams whose agents write the docs. One folder, every agent, nothing pasted. Revenue up 18% on the quarter, two new logos, and one renewal we need the board's help on. Everything a new teammate needs in week one, kept current by the people and agents…from beardrive.ai

    Hey HN! I'm Connor, creator of Replicas. I'm a heavy Codex/Claude Code user, and I wanted to hand off tasks to agents like I would to an engineer - kick something off before work, let it scaffold while I'm at lunch, even come back to a ready PR. The problem: existing alternatives use workspace VMs that are black boxes. I have no access to any of them - they can't run tests, read logs, or use tools like the Playwright MCP (which I use to verify agents actually fixed what they claim to fix). Replicas gives agents real cloud workspaces where they can: - Run your test suite and read the…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

  • Clawe – open-source Trello for agent teamsFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲62

    We recently started to use agents to update some documentation across our codebase on a weekly basis, and everything quickly turned into cron jobs, logs, and terminal output. it worked, but was hard to tell what agents were doing, why something failed, or whether a workflow was actually progressing. We thought it would be more interesting to treat agents as long-lived workers with state and responsibilities and explicit handoffs. Something you can actually see and reason about, instead of just tailing logs. So we built Clawe, a small coordination layer on top of OpenClaw that lets agent…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
