MacPaw's New AI Assistant Takes Notes and Organizes Your Mac

MacPaw, the maker of popular Mac cleaning tool CleanMyMac, just launched a new AI assistant called Eney for Mac and iPhone. Eney is designed to be more than just a reminder tool—it can actually help you get things done. For example, before a meeting, it can remind you and offer to transcribe the call without adding a separate bot. After the meeting, it prepares notes, action items, and even drafts a follow-up invitation for your approval. It also helps with writing, organizing files, and Mac maintenance.

What makes Eney different is its memory system called Mnemos. This lets it remember information about you and update details when you correct it. But you stay in control: Eney asks for confirmation before sending messages, changing calendar events, or moving files. You can adjust how much freedom it has, but the permissions you grant to each connected app determine what it can access. This is important if you use it with work accounts.

Eney is available for Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later, and there's an iPhone version. You can download it through Setapp, but you don't need a paid Setapp membership. New users get a 14-day trial with 10,000 AI credits. After that, subscriptions start at $14.99 per month, and unused credits don't roll over. So it's a subscription you'll need to budget for.

The big question is whether Eney will actually save you time or just add another layer of work. If it consistently handles routine tasks accurately, you can gradually give it more responsibility. But if it needs constant corrections, it might become more of a hassle than a help. For now, it's a promising step toward AI that doesn't just answer questions but takes action—just be ready to supervise.
