MacPaw Launches 'Eney' AI Assistant for Mac and iPhone

MacPaw has introduced Eney, an AI assistant designed for Mac and iPhone users. Eney understands a user's activities across apps, files, and the system, anticipating their next steps and prompting confirmation before acting. On Mac, Eney provides suggestions triggered by copying text, bot-free meeting transcription with automatic notes and follow-ups, and pre-set workflows such as Morning Brief and Plan My Day.

A feature called Eney Wand (triggered by Option-W) interacts with whatever is dragged over it, offering capabilities like text translation, price conversion, date-to-calendar conversion, and image text extraction. The app also alerts users to Mac care issues such as low disk space, memory pressure, and crashing apps, and integrates with Apple Mail, Calendar, Reminders, as well as services like Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira, and Linear.

MacPaw describes Eney as proactive yet not autonomous, as it asks permission before sending messages, altering events, or moving files. Eney is also the first product utilizing MacPaw's proprietary AI stack, including a memory layer named Mnemos, which solely manages Eney's memory without accessing or altering user files. Eney for Mac is downloadable from eney.ai, requiring an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later.

A free 14-day trial with 10,000 AI credits is available before users must subscribe to an AI credits plan. Plans include a Starter plan for $14.99/month with 10,000 credits, a Boost plan for $29.99/month with 25,000 credits, and a Power plan for $49.99/month with 50,000 credits. Signing in with a Setapp account is supported, although not mandatory on Mac.

An iPhone companion app is also available on the App Store, though its specific eligibility for Setapp members remains unclear. For more details, visit the Eney website.
