Eney is an AI assistant developed by MacPaw that helps Mac and iPhone users manage everyday tasks, work across connected applications, organize files, and automate repetitive activities. Unlike conventional AI chatbots that primarily respond to questions, Eney is designed to understand the context of your device and take action across different apps with your permission.

The assistant brings together app integrations, file management, meeting assistance, writing tools, and Mac maintenance capabilities in one place. Users can give it instructions in natural language instead of manually switching between applications to complete individual tasks.

MacPaw officially introduced Eney on October 15, 2026, as its first product powered by the company’s own AI technology stack. The assistant is part of MacPaw’s broader effort to build a connected ecosystem of AI-powered software.

What is Eney AI assistant?

Eney is a proactive AI assistant that lives on your Mac and iPhone. It connects supported applications, files, and system information to help users complete tasks that would otherwise require several steps across different tools.

For example, you can ask Eney to find a document, summarize an email conversation, organize your Downloads folder, prepare meeting notes, or create a to-do list. It can break a request into smaller actions and coordinate them across connected applications.

One of Eney’s defining characteristics is its proactive approach. Instead of waiting for users to ask every question, it can identify situations that may require attention and suggest what to do next. This could include reminding you about an upcoming meeting, offering to transcribe a call, or alerting you when your Mac is running low on storage.

MacPaw describes Eney as a digital workmate rather than another chatbot. Its goal is to reduce the small, repetitive tasks that interrupt everyday work.

How does Eney work?

Eney combines AI-powered assistance, application integrations, contextual awareness, and ready-to-use workflows.

Users interact with it through natural-language instructions, either by typing or speaking. They do not need to learn complicated prompts, commands, or scripting languages to request tasks.

Once it understands a request, Eney can determine the steps needed to complete it and work with supported applications and files. Depending on the task, it may retrieve information, prepare a document, draft a message, or suggest an action for the user to approve.

Eney also works with information from the Mac itself. This allows it to offer assistance beyond traditional chatbot conversations, including file organization and certain device-maintenance suggestions.

Connects your apps in one place

Eney can connect to several applications and services, allowing users to work with information without constantly switching between different windows and browser tabs.

Its supported integrations include Apple’s Mail, Calendar, and Reminders, along with third-party services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira, and Linear.

For example, users can ask Eney to find information in connected services, summarize conversations, prepare email drafts, or organize information related to their work.

The idea is to make different applications work together through one assistant rather than treating each service as a separate destination.

Manages files and everyday Mac clutter

Eney can help users locate files, organize their Desktop and Downloads folders, create and edit documents, split PDFs, and convert files.

It can also help find missing documents without requiring users to remember exactly where they saved them.

These capabilities make Eney particularly relevant to people who regularly work with multiple documents and accumulate files across different folders.

Helps with emails, messages, and writing

Eney can retrieve unread messages, summarize email conversations, draft emails, and capture notes.

It also includes Eney Spell, a writing assistant that checks spelling, grammar, and wording in supported applications, including Mail, Slack, Notes, and browsers.

Rather than requiring users to copy text into a separate AI chatbot, Eney is designed to provide writing assistance where they are already working.

Provides meeting assistance

Eney can help users prepare for and follow up on meetings.

When it recognizes an upcoming meeting, it can remind users before the call begins. Once a meeting starts, it can offer to transcribe the conversation and prepare meeting notes, summaries, action items, and follow-up invitations.

Users can review the prepared information before approving actions such as sending an invitation.

This is intended to reduce the manual work involved in documenting meetings and remembering the tasks discussed during them.

Monitors Mac performance and maintenance needs

Eney also brings some of MacPaw’s traditional Mac utility expertise into its AI assistant.

It can alert users to issues such as low disk space, memory pressure, and applications that repeatedly crash. It can then suggest possible fixes.

It can also help keep the Downloads folder organized and locate files.

These capabilities make Eney more than an application-focused productivity assistant: it can also provide contextual suggestions about the Mac itself.

What is Eney Wand?

Eney Wand is a feature that lets users interact with content directly on their Mac screen without first copying it into a separate application.

Users can press Option-W and drag over an area of the screen to select content. Eney then offers relevant actions based on what was selected.

For example, it can:

• Translate text directly on the screen.
• Convert a displayed price into another currency.
• Turn a date into a calendar event.
• Extract text from an image.
• Blur information that should not be shared.

This makes it easier to work with information displayed in documents, websites, images, and other applications without repeatedly taking screenshots or switching between tools.

What are Eney workflows?

Eney workflows are ready-to-use routines that help users complete recurring tasks without building their own automations.

MacPaw includes workflows such as Morning Brief, Plan My Day, and Weekly Review. Users can run them whenever needed or schedule them to run automatically.

For example, Plan My Day can help organize daily tasks, while Weekly Review provides a way to catch up on the previous week’s work and prepare for what comes next.

Eney also includes workflows for catching up on news and managing Downloads.

These predefined routines make the assistant easier to use for people who want AI-powered automation without learning how to configure complex workflows.

What makes Eney different from other AI assistants?

The main difference is its focus on the Mac environment and connected applications.

Traditional AI chatbots generally require users to provide information through a conversation, upload files, or connect external services. Eney is designed to work more directly with the applications, files, and system context available on a Mac.

Its key differences include:

• Mac-native approach: Eney lives on the Mac rather than operating exclusively through a browser tab.
• Connected applications: It brings supported services such as Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and Notion into a shared assistant experience.
• Proactive suggestions: It can identify upcoming tasks and situations that may need attention instead of waiting for every instruction.
• Device awareness: It can provide suggestions about storage, memory pressure, and applications that repeatedly crash.
• Ready-made workflows: Users can automate common activities without building workflows from scratch.
• User approval: Important actions such as sending messages, changing calendar events, and moving files require approval by default.

These features position Eney as an AI-powered productivity assistant that combines application-level tasks with certain device-level capabilities.

How does Eney handle privacy and user control?

Because Eney works with connected applications and files, access permissions and user control are important considerations.

MacPaw says Eney accesses applications and files with the user’s permission. It also follows an approval-based approach for important actions. By default, it asks before sending a message, changing a calendar event, or moving a file.

Eney is powered by MacPaw’s own AI technology stack, with Mnemos serving as its underlying memory layer. Mnemos allows the assistant to remember useful information, update facts when users correct them or when information becomes outdated, and indicate when an answer relies on something it remembers.

MacPaw says Mnemos manages Eney’s own memory and does not read or modify files or other applications.

Users should still review Eney’s privacy notice to understand what information the assistant collects, how connected services are accessed, and how their data is processed.

Is Eney available for Mac and iPhone?

Yes. Eney is available for Mac and iPhone, although its system requirements differ by platform.

The Mac version requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. Users can download it through the official Eney website or access it through Setapp.

Eney also offers a 14-day free trial with 10,000 AI credits. After the trial, users need an AI credits subscription to continue using its AI-powered features.

MacPaw currently lists three monthly subscription options:

• Starter: 10,000 AI credits for $14.99 per month.
• Boost: 25,000 AI credits for $29.99 per month.
• Power: 50,000 AI credits for $49.99 per month.

The listed prices include tax and are billed monthly in US dollars. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled, and unused credits do not roll over.

Eney also uses Setapp’s AI credit infrastructure. Users can sign in with a Setapp account without needing a Setapp membership. AI requests consume credits according to the complexity of the task.

For iPhone users, Eney is available through the Apple App Store. MacPaw also lists eight supported languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Ukrainian.

Is Eney worth trying?

Eney is an interesting approach to AI-assisted productivity because it combines several everyday Mac activities in one assistant. Instead of focusing exclusively on generating text or answering questions, it aims to connect applications, organize files, help with meetings, and surface useful actions based on what is happening on the device.

Its value will depend on how well its integrations and workflows fit into a user’s existing routine. People who regularly switch between email, calendars, messaging platforms, documents, and other productivity tools may find its connected approach particularly useful.

However, Eney is not simply a free replacement for a conventional AI chatbot. Its continued AI usage requires credits after the trial, and its available capabilities depend on supported integrations and permissions.

For Mac users looking for an assistant that can do more than answer questions, Eney offers a different way to approach everyday productivity: connect the tools you already use, describe what needs to be done, and let the assistant prepare the next step.
