Every model, one picker
Switch between 49 models — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama and the rest — from a single menu. No separate logins to juggle.
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.
See everything it does
Local & private<br>When you want it,<br>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

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.

First launch<br>Opening Eaon the first time
Eaon isn't notarized by Apple yet — I'm one indie dev and haven't set up their $99/year developer account, which is the only thing that keeps macOS from flagging it on first open. It's not a sign anything's wrong with the app. And the one line in step 2 doesn't switch off any real malware scanning — it only clears the “downloaded from the internet” tag macOS staples onto anything a browser saves.
Move Eaon into Applications
Open the .dmg you downloaded and drag Eaon into your Applications folder — same as any other app.
Run one line in Terminal
Open Terminal (⌘Space, type “Terminal”, hit Return), then paste this and press Return:
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Eaon.app
Copy
Double-click Eaon and it opens like normal — no scary dialog, no digging through System Settings.
Rather not open Terminal? Double-click Eaon, let macOS block it once, then head to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway . Same result, a couple more clicks.
Help notarize Eaon<br>Make the warning disappear — for everyone.
Remember that first-launch step? One $99 / year Apple developer account is all it takes to get Eaon notarized. Once it's funded, macOS opens the app with no warning and no Terminal line — for every single person who downloads it. That's the whole goal.
