MacPaw launched Eney on Oct. 15, describing it as an assistant for Mac and iPhone. The company says Eney can prepare work across apps and asks by default before sending a message, changing a calendar event or moving a file. Its privacy notice says cloud processing is on by default and that no local model currently answers requests.
One assistant connects several Mac workflows
MacPaw says Eney works with Apple Mail, Calendar and Reminders, and can connect to Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira and Linear. Its meeting feature can offer to transcribe a call in another app, then prepare notes, action items and an invitation for the user to review. A screen tool called Eney Wand is designed to act on selected content, for example by translating text or turning a date into a calendar event.
The advertised scope extends beyond chat: MacPaw says Eney can warn about low disk space, find files and suggest actions when apps crash. By default, it asks before creating, changing, sending or deleting something. The privacy notice says users can grant permission for some actions in a chat or through settings, while read-only tools may use access already granted to the app. That distinction matters: an approval prompt is a default control, not a guarantee that every action always requires a new confirmation.
“On your Mac” does not mean model processing stays there
Eney uses local tools on the Mac to read files, run commands and search connected data, according to its privacy notice. But the results may be sent to an AI provider when needed to answer the request. The notice says cloud processing is on by default and that requests, conversation context, relevant memories and tool results such as email, calendar or file content may be sent to providers including OpenAI or Anthropic, depending on the feature and mode.
When a user is signed in, Eney syncs chat history through MacPaw’s servers so it can be used across Mac and iPhone. MacPaw says synced chats are encrypted on its servers but are not end-to-end encrypted. In plain terms, server encryption is not the stronger promise that only a user’s own devices can decrypt the chats. The notice says MacPaw has disabled provider training on Eney data in its provider accounts. It lists retention separately: OpenAI may retain requests and outputs for up to 30 days by default; Google may store inputs and outputs for up to 30 days for debugging and quality; Anthropic says it deletes inputs and outputs within 30 days. Which provider receives data depends on the feature, and the selected model on Mac also depends on Fast or More thorough mode.
Users considering work or personal files should read the current notice and provider terms before connecting accounts.
Trial and requirements
MacPaw’s product page lists Eney for M-series Macs running macOS 15 or later, with a 14-day trial that includes 10,000 AI credits and paid credit subscriptions afterward. MacPaw says an iPhone app is also available from the App Store. These are launch details and may change as the product develops.
