Built to put the AI
toll booths out of business.
Free, open source, no account.
Universal for Apple silicon and Intel. Also on Windows and Linux.
Chat is the agent now. Ask for something and it reads the code, edits it, runs the tests and shows each step: the diff, the command and the files it changed.
An agent that does the work.
Ask for something and it reads the files, edits them and runs the commands, in a folder you choose. Each edit shows its diff and each command its output.
Plan first and it researches without changing anything, then waits for your approval. A command that deletes files waits for you too.
Everything it doesWorkers that keep going.
Always-on agents with a name, a colour and a job. Up to four work at once in a group chat, each handing the next one what it needs.
They carry on in the background while you are not looking.
Your coding agents, side by side.
The ADE tab runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Eaon Code in real terminals, each piece of work on a branch of its own. The sidebar shows which are waiting for you.
Press Review on a pull request and an agent reads it. You edit what it says before anything is posted to GitHub.
One picker. Every major model.
55 providers on your own key, or signed in where the provider allows it, all in one list. Switch mid-conversation and the thread carries over.
Or run open models on your own machine. Eaon has its own llama.cpp, picks up Ollama and LM Studio by itself, and works with the Wi-Fi off.
npm install -g eaon-cli
Prefer the terminal?
The same models and the same keys, in a terminal agent that can read and write files in your project.
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, and not always then: ChatGPT, Hugging Face and Poe let you sign in instead. Local models need no key and no connection. You can use both in the same conversation.
Where are my conversations stored?
On your machine, in Eaon’s own folder. There is no Eaon account and no cloud copy: a chat only leaves your computer as the request to the model you picked.
What is an ADE?
An agentic development environment: one window for running AI coding agents instead of one terminal per agent. Eaon has one built in, the ADE tab. It runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and the rest side by side, each session on a git branch of its own.
Will macOS warn me on first launch?
No. The app is signed and notarized, so it opens the way any other installed app does.
