MacPaw Launches Eney, a Proactive AI Assistant for Mac and iPhone

The assistant mixes on-device memory with cloud models to surface contextual tasks from apps, files and meetings for user approval.

Overview

  • MacPaw launched Eney on Thursday, October 15, 2026, and is offering a 14-day free trial that includes 10,000 AI credits with subscription tiers starting at $14.99 per month after the trial.
  • Eney ships with system-wide controls such as the Eney Wand for selecting screen content, in-call transcription that creates notes and action items, in-place writing help, Mac maintenance alerts, and ready-made workflows.
  • Mnemos is MacPaw’s built-in memory layer that stores and updates facts used by Eney, is limited to the assistant’s own memory scope, and is designed to keep those memories local on the Mac.
  • MacPaw says Eney uses a hybrid architecture that runs optimized local models on Apple hardware and falls back to cloud models for heavier tasks, with Liquid AI named as a development partner for model work.
  • Users should review connector permissions before enabling integrations such as Apple Mail, Google services, Slack, Notion, Jira and Linear because Eney accesses data to prepare actions and its rollout could change how people share and manage routine work.
