Would you use an AI assistant to manage your files, meetings, and system tasks?
MacPaw has released Eney, an AI assistant for Mac and iPhone that supports eight languages and integrates with third-party tools like Slack and Jira. The system utilizes a proprietary memory module called Mnemos to handle local data processing alongside cloud-based models.
Why it matters
The tool targets cross-app workflow fragmentation by centralizing file and system management within a single interface. By partnering with Liquid AI, MacPaw seeks to optimize performance specifically for Apple hardware architectures.
Eney uses a hybrid architecture that pairs local processing on the Mac through its proprietary Mnemos memory system with cloud-based models. The service supports eight languages, including Spanish, Italian, and Ukrainian, and provides 10,000 AI credits during a 14-day free trial.
The players
MacPaw
A software developer known for system utility applications and the Setapp subscription service.
Liquid AI
A research firm specializing in building foundational models and hardware-optimized machine learning architectures.
The details
Users trigger Eney via the Option + W shortcut, a double-tap on the Option key, or the Eney Wand gesture. Mnemos acts as a local memory system designed to store and index user information directly on the Mac, minimizing the need to move data to the cloud for basic retrieval tasks. MacPaw partnered with San Francisco-based Liquid AI to build models explicitly optimized for the instruction sets and power profiles of Apple silicon.
Timeline
Development of the Eney assistant began in 2019.
Eney was officially launched for Mac and iPhone on October 15, 2026.
The Tech Race
The launch of Eney represents an effort to consolidate fragmented app ecosystems into a unified AI-driven workflow. It sits in direct competition with emerging OS-native assistants by prioritizing multi-app compatibility across third-party productivity tools.
Users can access Eney via a 14-day free trial that includes 10,000 AI credits before choosing between the $14.99, $29.99, or $49.99 monthly plans. The assistant integrates with common tools such as Gmail, Notion, and Slack to help users manage tasks without manual switching.
The takeaway
Eney simplifies multi-app management by keeping memory local via the Mnemos system. Watch for future integration updates as MacPaw plans to fold Eney into more applications available through its Setapp platform.
