Hard to say since it is a totally different thing ;)

People often ask us about the differences between Org mode and
Hyperbole. Although on the surface this comes up a lot, once you use
both of these, you’ll quickly see how different they are. Hyperbole
and Org mode can be used together, e.g. Hyperbole’s Smart Keys work in
Org mode, or separately; there is no need to choose. Here is a
contrast of the two, for those interested.
- Org-mode is a major-mode that works on structured files built
atop Emacs outlining mode.
- Hyperbole is a system that spans across much of Emacs’
functionality, providing quick access keys and hyperbuttons
wherever needed.
- Org-mode’s outliner is like Emacs outliner.
- Hyperbole’s Koutliner is unique; every node/paragraph has a
unique id and settable attributes plus a relative id that is
auto-updated as you move trees around the outline, so you know
that node 2b4 is a child of 2b and is the next sibling of the
2b3 node.
- Org-mode has explicit hyperlinks that you create and a limited
form of implicit links (links recognized contextually from just
the text of a file).
- Hyperbole has these too, allowing you to create them in any type
of text file, with simple drags between windows. But Hyperbole
also recognizes hyperlinks embedded in many different types of
files and buffers and can easily support new types. You simply
press one button and Hyperbole figures out what to do in dozens
of contexts.
- Org-mode manages todos, time entries and some basic project
management.
- Hyperbole does none of this but allows you to integrate with
whatever other tools you like, including Org mode’s tools.
- Org-mode doesn’t have any contact management builtin, only
through add-on packages.
- Hyperbole has an integrated, fast, effective hierarchical
contact manager.
- Org-mode does nothing with your buffers, windows and frames
since it is just a major mode.
- Hyperbole has a fast, thoughtfully designed window and frame
manager that lets you quickly arrange your Emacs artifacts as
you like. Eventually, these window and frame configurations will
be saveable and will be able to be the target of links, so you
can have quick access buttons that arrange things for different
work tasks (similar to Workspaces but integrated with all of
Hyperbole’s other features).
- Org-mode does nothing for quick management of large, existing
libraries of information.
- Hyperbole helps organize, link, search and retrieve libraries of
any kind of text files.
Hyperbole also has features that speed code browsing and
structured code editing and support for using the mouse keys as
Control and Meta modifiers so you can point and operate on screen
entities quickly.
