MacPaw Introduces Eney AI Assistant for Mac and iPhone
Table of Contents
Keeping track of meetings, emails, documents, and reminders can turn a workday into a constant cycle of switching between apps. MacPaw is addressing that problem with Eney, an AI assistant designed to help Mac and iPhone users organise everyday digital work. Released on October 15, 2026, Eney can identify tasks that may need attention, prepare information, and suggest actions based on activity across connected applications.
What Is MacPaw Eney?
MacPaw developed Eney using its own artificial intelligence technology. The company is known for Mac software such as CleanMyMac and the Setapp app subscription service. With Eney, MacPaw aims to bring separate digital tools into a connected experience, using an assistant to help users manage routine tasks.
It can use context from apps, files, and calendar events to spot tasks and suggest next steps. Its usefulness will depend on how accurately it understands a user’s work and how relevant its suggestions are.
Meeting Support Before and After Calls
Eney can remind users about scheduled calls and offer transcription without adding a separate bot participant. Afterwards, it can prepare notes, identify action items, and draft a follow-up invitation for review.
Users can review the generated summary and correct errors or add missing context.
Eney also includes Mnemos, a memory system that stores information about the user. It can update saved details when a user corrects them and indicate when a response draws on stored information. This is intended to make assistance more consistent over time, though users should understand what is remembered and check that stored details remain accurate.
Connections Across Everyday Apps
Eney works with Apple Mail, Calendar, and Reminders without extra setup. It also connects with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira, and Linear.
For example, someone preparing for a project discussion could use Eney to gather relevant context, identify the calendar event, and prepare a message for attendees. People working across several platforms may benefit from reducing repetitive app switching and keeping related tasks organised.
Approval Controls and Privacy Questions
MacPaw says Eney requests confirmation before sending messages, changing calendar events, or moving files. Users can also adjust how independently it operates.
Eney uses local and cloud AI models, and MacPaw is working with Liquid AI on models tuned for Apple hardware. Reports say cloud processing is enabled by default, unlike a Setapp-only version described in December 2025 that reportedly processed requests on-device by default.
Before connecting sensitive accounts, users should read the privacy documentation and check what data may be transmitted, retained, or shared with connected services.
MacPaw Eney Pricing and Requirements
New users receive a 14-day trial that includes 10,000 AI credits. After the trial, three monthly subscriptions are available:
| Plan | Monthly price | AI credits |
| Starter | $14.99 | 10,000 |
| Boost | $29.99 | 20,000 |
| Power | $49.99 | 30,000 |
Unused credits do not roll over into the next month, so users should consider how often they expect to use AI features before choosing a plan.
The Mac app requires an M-series Mac running macOS 15 or later. The iPhone app requires iOS 26 or later and is available on the App Store. A Setapp account can be used to sign in, but membership is not required. Eney supports eight languages.
Why This Launch Matters
MacPaw began developing Eney in 2019, with an initial release reportedly arriving in May 2025. The launch reflects a shift toward assistants that coordinate tasks across software, rather than simply generating text.
The company surveyed Mac users in the United States during July and August 2026. TechRepublic reported that 81% of respondents had used an AI tool in the previous three months, while 39% said AI was part of their work routine.
MacPaw’s challenge is to show that Eney can be dependable, useful, and clear about how it handles personal information. Users should test it on low-risk tasks first, then assess whether its suggestions save enough time to justify the subscription.
