Join the DiscordA full-size AI app, not a chat box in a tab.
Everything you'd want from a proper Mac app — plus a few things the browser version of anything can't do.
Bring your own key
Add your OpenAI, Anthropic or Google key and talk to them directly. Keys live in your Keychain, never on a server.
Run it on your Mac
Pull open models with Ollama, llama.cpp or MLX and chat completely offline. Nothing leaves the machine.
Compare, side by side
Ask once, see two answers at once. Good for picking the right model — or settling which one you trust.
Command palette
Hit ⌘K to jump to a chat, switch models, or open a setting. Arrow keys and Enter, no mouse.
See what you spend
Token counts, per-model cost estimates and a live context-window meter, so a long chat never surprises you.
Local & private
When you want it,
When you want it,
nothing leaves your Mac.
Point Eaon at Ollama, llama.cpp or MLX and it runs the model right on your laptop — no key, no account, no network. Same clean window, working on a plane. It even keeps the model warm and unloads it when you're done.
- Ollama, llama.cpp and MLX, detected automatically
- Download models from Hugging Face or Ollama, pick the quant
- Keys in the Keychain, never a plain-text file
- Fully offline once a model is on disk
Four reasons it stays in the Dock.
You want the best model for the job.
Not a subscription per lab. Start in Claude, switch to GPT halfway, run both on the same prompt — one window, forty-nine models a click apart.
You care where your data goes.
Run a local model and the conversation never touches the internet. Use your own keys and they stay in the Keychain. Export or delete everything whenever — it's just files.
You live in the keyboard.
⌘K opens a real command palette. Pin the chats you return to, file the rest into projects, set custom instructions once, and never reach for the mouse.
You just want a calm place to think.
A native, monochrome window that follows your system theme. No ads, no feed, no upsell. It looks like it belongs on a Mac because it was built as one.

The stuff people ask first.
Is Eaon free?
Yes — the app is free forever, and open source. If you use models through Aqua or your own provider keys you pay whatever those cost, and local models cost nothing to run — but the app itself never costs a thing.
Do I need an API key?
Not necessarily. Chat through Aqua's own connection, bring your own key from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, or skip keys entirely and run a model locally. Mix and match — Eaon routes each chat to the right place.
Does my data leave my Mac?
Only when it has to. Hosted models run in the cloud, like any chat app. Local models never touch the network. Your keys sit in the macOS Keychain, and your history is files on your disk you can export or delete anytime.
Which models can I use?
Forty-nine hosted models through Aqua — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Grok, Qwen and more — plus anything you install locally with Ollama, llama.cpp or MLX, and any provider you connect with your own key.
Is Eaon open source?
Yes — it's an open project and anyone can pitch in. Star the repo, open an issue, or send a pull request. The download count on this page reads straight from GitHub releases, so the number you see is the real one.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Local models run best on Apple silicon with enough memory for the model you pick, but the app itself is light.
How do I get help?
Email support@eaon.dev and we'll sort it out. The Discord is good for quick questions too. If you'd rather reach the person who makes Eaon directly — a bug, an idea, or just to say hi — that's sanscreates@eaon.dev.
