Launching an app

Updated May 15, 2026

Every app on Teacher Hive has a Launch button. Launch buttons are large brown hexagons or buttons labeled Launch. Click a Launch button to open the app in a new tab.


Where you'll see Launch

  1. App cards, the brown hexagon in the bottom-right corner of any card. Visible on the home page, in collections, on your dashboard, on teacher profiles, and in search results.
  2. Info pages, the larger Launch button in the right column.
  3. External apps, the button is labeled Visit instead of Launch. These apps are not hosted by Teacher Hive; clicking Visit forwards you to the external website. External apps may be hosted on domains blocked at school.


What launching does


Launching opens the app at apphive.us/{slug} in a new tab. There's no login required for students. You can share the same link with a class, a parent, a colleague, or paste it into your LMS.
