MacPaw Launches Eney: A Proactive AI Assistant Built Specifically for Mac and iPhone Users

MacPaw has officially released Eney, a proactive AI assistant built specifically for Mac and iPhone, marking the culmination of a development journey that began in 20191

1

. The launch addresses a critical adoption gap: while 81% of U.S. Mac users had tried AI tools in the previous three months, only 39% had successfully integrated AI into their daily workflows2

From CleanMyMac Concept to Full-Fledged AI Agent

Oleksandr Kosovan, MacPaw's founder and CEO, revealed that Eney originated as an idea to simplify CleanMyMac through natural-language commands1

1

. As AI technology evolved through the LLM boom and subsequent agentic AI wave, MacPaw continuously reworked and refined the assistant. The company behind CleanMyMac and Setapp subscription service positioned Eney to fill the space between experimental AI tools and practical daily use2

Eney Wand Eliminates Copy-Paste Friction

The standout feature is Eney Wand, activated by shaking your cursor over text or using the Option + W shortcut1

1

. This system-wide integration solves a persistent pain point with most AI tools: constantly copying and pasting content between applications. Users can simply point to on-screen content and prompt the AI assistant to work with it directly. The Wand offers contextual suggestions including text translation, date conversion to calendar events, image text extraction, and currency conversion2

Liquid AI Partnership Powers Local Processing

MacPaw partnered with Liquid AI to develop custom models optimized for Apple hardware, enabling AI-assisted productivity without constant cloud dependence1

1

. Liquid AI has demonstrated its efficiency by running AI models on older Mercedes-Benz hardware with limited computing resources, proving these models can operate on existing devices not originally designed for modern AI workloads. This approach allows Eney to balance local processing with cloud-based models for more demanding tasks.

Mnemos AI Memory System Learns Your Preferences

At Eney's core sits Mnemos, MacPaw's proprietary AI memory system that stores information about users and their preferences locally on Mac and iPhone1

1

. The Mnemos AI memory system uses a knowledge graph connecting people, projects, preferences, and events while tracking how information changes over time. When users correct something or facts become outdated, Mnemos updates accordingly. The system distinguishes between explicitly provided information, facts from connected sources, and patterns inferred from interactions. Eney already supports importing ChatGPT archives, allowing users to migrate existing context and preferences1

Proactive Suggestions Across Native and Third-Party Apps

Unlike conventional chatbots, this AI agent lives entirely on your Mac rather than being tethered to a browser2

2

. Eney monitors important events and provides proactive suggestions ahead of time, working seamlessly with Apple Mail, Reminders, and Calendar. Users can connect it with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, and Notion, with more third-party app connectors coming soon2

2

. The assistant spots upcoming calls, identifies meetings needing summaries, and flags disks running out of space, preparing next steps for user approval without requiring app switching1

.

Writing Assistance and Meeting Support

Eney Spell delivers writing assistance by fixing spelling, grammar, and wording directly in Mail, Slack, Notes, or browsers, functioning similarly to Grammarly1

1

. For scheduling and calendar management, Eney offers Morning Brief, Plan My Day, and Weekly Review features2

2

. During meetings, the assistant provides meeting transcription capabilities and can write notes automatically.

Privacy-First Architecture With Cloud Backup

Mnemos processes and stores memories locally on Mac, prioritizing user privacy1

1

. However, more demanding tasks still rely on cloud-based models when local processing proves insufficient. Currently, Mnemos integration focuses on managing Eney's own memories rather than independently accessing information stored in other apps, though MacPaw continues developing additional capabilities.

Availability and Trial Period

Eney is now available through its official website with a 14-day trial period, and the iPhone app can be downloaded from the App Store2

2

. MacPaw positions Eney as the first product powered by its own AI stack, signaling the company's evolution from standalone products into a connected ecosystem. Watch for MacPaw's expansion of third-party integrations and Mnemos capabilities as the platform matures beyond its initial launch feature set.
