Every model. Every agent. On your machine.
Two native apps that put AI where you already work. Run them on your own keys, or on a model that never leaves your machine. Both are free and open source.

Also on Windows. Apple silicon only on Mac.
A real app, not a chat box in a tab.
Eaon opens with a keystroke, keeps your conversations on disk, and talks to whichever model you point it at. The model is a setting, not a subscription.
Every model, one picker
Frontier hosted models, open-weight models, and anything running locally, in a single list. Switch mid-conversation and keep the thread.
Bring your own key
Paste a provider key and Eaon calls that company from your machine. No relay in the middle, no per-seat markup.
Run it offline
Point Eaon at a local runtime and nothing leaves the machine: no network, no telemetry, no account required.
The best model for the job
Reasoning for hard problems, something fast for everything else, one shortcut away.
You know where your data goes
Load a local model and you can pull the network cable mid-sentence. It keeps going.
You live in the keyboard
Open, switch model, search history, start again, without reaching for the mouse.
A calm place to think
No feed, no upsell banner, no badge counting unread announcements.
Prefer the terminal?
The same models, the same keys, in a terminal agent that can read and write files in your project.
npm install -g eaon-cli
The things people ask first.
Is it really free?
Yes. The app has no paid tier and no account to create. You pay whichever model provider you pick, or you pay nobody and run a model on your own hardware.
Do I need an API key?
Only for hosted models. Local models need no key and no connection. You can use both in the same conversation.
Where are my conversations stored?
On your machine. Cloud sync stays off until you turn it on, and it encrypts everything before upload, so the server holds data it cannot read.
Will macOS warn me on first launch?
No. The app is signed and notarized, so it opens the way any other installed app does.
Get Eaon.
No installer wizard, no account, no trial clock. Both apps and the CLI are on one page.
