Get Eave.

Free for 7 days, with every feature. No card, no account.

Eave is almost ready. The download arrives here when it is.

What you need.

macOS 26 or later: Eave is built on the newest macOS, with Liquid Glass and all.
Apple silicon: Any Mac with an M series chip. Intel Macs are not supported.
A notch, or not: On MacBooks with a notch, Eave lives in it. Everywhere else, it draws its own black pill.

Open the download
Double click Eave.dmg in your Downloads folder.
Drag Eave to Applications
Drop the Eave icon on the Applications folder in the window that opens.
Open Eave
Open it from Applications. The notch says hello, and your 7 days begin.
Turn on what you like
Eave walks you through its permissions one card at a time. Skip any of them; only that feature waits.

Eave has no Dock icon. Find it in the menu bar, where you can open Settings or quit.

macOS asks before an app can do anything personal. Here is everything Eave may ask for, in plain words. Each one turns on a single feature.

Automation: Music and Spotify
For Now Playing
Eave shows the song in the notch and lets you pause or skip from there. It never opens a player by itself.
Accessibility
For the volume and brightness pop-ups
Eave listens for the volume and brightness keys only, so it can show its own pop-up instead of the system one.
System Audio Recording
For the Mixer
Lets Eave turn individual apps up or down. Audio is adjusted live and never recorded. macOS shows its recording dot while an app is turned down.
Asked the first time you turn an app down.
Files and Folders
For the screenshot shelf
Lets Eave notice screenshots as they are saved so they are ready to drag.
Only if your screenshots save to Desktop, Documents or Downloads.
Camera
For the Mirror
Only while the Mirror tab is open. The camera turns off the moment you leave it.
Full Disk Access
For the Focus indicator
Lets Eave read which Focus is on. It reads only that one file.
Only if you turn the Focus indicator on. It is off until you do.
Input Monitoring
For Eavy
Eave counts how fast you type, never what you type, so Eavy can type along.
Only if Eavy is on and Accessibility is not.

Change your mind any time in System Settings, under Privacy & Security. Turn a permission off and only its feature stops.
