Eduardo lives quietly in your menu bar and activates the moment you need it — on any app, any document, any screen.
Highlight the confusing part
Select any text on your screen — a paragraph from a client email, a line on an IRS notice, a clause in a document. Just the snippet that isn't clicking.
Hit your hotkey
Press ⌥+Shift+A to go straight to a question, or ⌥+Shift+S for a summary first. Eduardo's panel appears with your selected text already loaded.
Ask your question
Type it, or hold the mic and say it. "What does this mean?" "What should I watch out for?" "How do I respond to this?" — the last two are one-click presets. Eduardo answers in seconds, on your machine in local mode.
Keep the conversation going
Follow up and it remembers. Ask "what happens if I miss it?" and Eduardo knows what "it" was. Like a colleague who was reading over your shoulder the whole time.

Here's a denial letter from an insurance plan. Let's ask Hey Eduardo what it means.
Select the text, press Option-Shift-A, and type a question.
It reads the letter right on your Mac. In local mode, nothing is sent anywhere.
Both deadlines, in plain English.
Follow-up questions remember the letter.
Including what happens if you stay silent: the denial becomes final, and $540 comes out of future payments.
So why not paste it into ChatGPT or Claude? This letter has a client's name, member ID and dates of service. That's protected health information.
ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro don't come with a business associate agreement. In local mode, Hey Eduardo reads it on your Mac, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Built for professionals who work with sensitive information every day — not for casual chatting.
Works on any screen, any app
Email, contracts, spreadsheets, browser tabs, Zoom transcripts. Highlight it, or drag a box over anything you can't select — a scanned notice, a locked PDF — and Eduardo reads it off the screen.
See how it works →Talk to it — don't just type
Hold the mic button and speak your question out loud. Fast, accurate voice-to-text runs completely offline. No typing required.
See how it works →Reads answers back to you
Turn on voice output and Eduardo speaks its response aloud. Hands-free AI assistance while your eyes stay on the document.
See how it works →Local AI that actually keeps up
Powered by Qwen3.5 9B — a best-in-class language model running entirely on your hardware. A 322-word client email came back in 4.0 seconds on an M5 Pro, timed on camera.
See the benchmarks →Two modes. You control which one.
Local mode is the default — for anything touching client data. Nothing leaves your machine. Cloud mode is opt-in — connect your own API key for general research questions with no client data involved. The app always shows which mode is active.
How the modes work →Open a PDF and ask about it
Point Eduardo at a PDF or a text file and question it directly — no copying, no pasting. A scanned notice with no text in it? It tells you, and points you at the screen-capture shortcut that can read it.
See how it works →Follow-ups that remember
Ask "what happens if I miss it?" and Eduardo knows what "it" was. The thread stays with that document and clears the moment you capture something else — one client's questions never bleed into another's.
See how it works →Flags what you're agreeing to
One click on Watch out for and Eduardo pulls out what a letter or contract commits you to, and any deadline — including the line that says your silence counts as agreement.
See how it works →Drafts a reply you can send
One click on How to respond and Eduardo drafts a reply you can edit and send. It never confirms a figure or accepts a deadline on your behalf — it says you will review first.

This hospital bill is a scan. It's just a picture, so there's no text to select.
Press Option-Shift-C, and drag a box over the part you need.
Apple's on-device text recognition reads the scan, and Hey Eduardo explains it.
It explains the bill in plain words.
Then ask for the exact amount and the due date.
$1,284.50, due October 1.
So why not upload it to ChatGPT or Claude? A medical bill carries your name, your account number, and the care you received.
Upload it, and all of that goes to another company's servers. Here, the scan is read and answered on your Mac. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Hey Eduardo. heyeduardo.app
Your data is at risk every time you ask ChatGPT for help.
Every document you paste goes to their servers, and you lose control the moment you hit send. Eduardo works the other way round: in local mode, the default, your data never leaves your machine. That isn't a policy. It's the architecture.
You own your data — ChatGPT doesn't
A document pasted into a public AI tool sits on that company's servers, under their retention policy and reachable by subpoena. In local mode, Eduardo runs on your computer, so there is nothing of yours on our side to hand over.
Your clients trusted you with their information
Clients share sensitive details because they trust you, and that trust doesn't extend to OpenAI or Google. Eduardo keeps client data where your professional obligations say it belongs: on your machine.
Understanding something shouldn't cost you your privacy
Decoding a clause, learning a new field, or asking something you'd rather not ask out loud — the question itself is personal. In local mode, nobody sees it. Not us. Not anyone.
You control your data. Not us. Not OpenAI. Not anyone.
Most AI tools run on a trade: you hand over your data, they hand back an answer. Eduardo doesn't make that trade. In local mode there is no server receiving your documents, no account storing your questions, and no company on the other end of the conversation.
The short history it keeps stays on your Mac, where you can switch it off. We can't see what you're working on, because it never reaches us.
On-device by default
In local mode, every answer is worked out on your Mac's own chip. After a one-time model download and licence activation, it runs with no internet connection at all.
Zero telemetry, zero tracking
We don't collect usage data, crash reports, or analytics. The only thing the app ever sends us is your licence key and a device ID, once, to activate it. We genuinely cannot see what you're doing — by design.
Your history stays on your Mac
Eduardo keeps your last 25 results on this Mac so you can reopen them. They are never uploaded. Switch it off or clear it any time in Settings → Reading → Recent.
Privacy you can actually verify
Don't take our word for it — in local mode we never receive your documents or questions, so there is nothing of yours on our side to breach or subpoena. All we hold is the licence record for your purchase.
Don't take our word for it. Watch the counter.
Every privacy claim on this page can be tested in about a minute, with a tool Apple already put on your Mac.

Find Hey Eduardo in the list
Two columns matter: Bytes Sent and Bytes Received. Note what they say.
- 3
Summarize something
Highlight a contract, press ⌥+Shift+S, read the answer. Those two numbers do not move.
- Cloud mode is the exception, and it is off until you turn it on with your own API key. Then the counter does move, because your text goes to the provider you chose. The panel shows which mode is running at all times.

Does Hey Eduardo send your documents anywhere? Let's watch.
Below the contract, Activity Monitor is tracking Hey Eduardo's network traffic.
Now ask a question about the liability clause.
It finds the three-month cap, and all three exceptions.
And Activity Monitor still shows zero bytes sent, and zero received. It all happened on this Mac.
Activity Monitor is on every Mac, so you can check this yourself. heyeduardo.app
Some people read something once and get it. Most of us need to ask.
That's not a weakness — it's how most people learn. Whether you process information differently, you're new to the subject, or the document simply makes no sense, asking beats re-reading every time.
Eduardo explains it in plain English, right next to whatever you're looking at. In local mode, nobody else ever knows you asked.

Legal writing like this lease is hard going, especially if you have dyslexia.
Highlight the section, and press Option-Shift-E.
Hey Eduardo explains it in plain words, and spells out the hard ones.
Want just the key points? Click Simpler.
Then click Listen. It reads the explanation aloud, and highlights each word as it goes.
[Hey Eduardo reads the explanation aloud]
So why not paste it into ChatGPT or Claude? This lease has your name, your address, and your rent, and they would go to another company's servers.
Here, the explanation and the voice both run on your Mac. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Where it fits, and where it doesn't.
Better to know now than after the download. If the right-hand list describes your work, this isn't your tool.
Made for this
- Apple Silicon Macs, M1 through M5, on macOS 15 or later
- Letters, clauses, notices, emails — highlight the part that matters and ask about it
- Work that isn’t allowed to be uploaded: client records, contracts, anything under a confidentiality rule
- Places with no connection, or where the network is locked down
- Scanned pages and locked PDFs, read off the screen with ⌥+Shift+C
Not this
- Windows and Intel Macs — Windows support is still to come
- Whole 300-page files in one go: a question reads a window of a long document, not all of it at once
- Live web research — it doesn’t browse the internet in either mode
- Legal, tax or medical advice — it explains what a document says, and you still make the call
- Macs under 8 GB of memory; the largest model wants 16 GB
Set up in a few minutes, once.
No account to configure, no workspace to invite anyone to. Here is the whole thing.
Download and install
Open the .dmg and drag Hey Eduardo into Applications. The first launch needs one trip to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, because the app is signed but not sent to Apple for notarisation.
Paste your license key
It arrives by email the moment you buy. Enter it once on the activation screen.
Let it pick a model
Eduardo looks at your Mac’s memory and offers the model that will run well on it — from about 0.5 GB up to 6 GB. It downloads once, and after that you can work offline.
Turn on Accessibility, then highlight something
One toggle in System Settings lets Eduardo read the text you select. Press ⌥+Shift+S on any document and you have your first summary.
Every step, with screenshots: the setup guide →
What a subscription costs over three years.
ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro are $20 a month. Hey Eduardo Pro is $49, one time, with a year of updates included — and it keeps working after that year. It pays for itself in under three months.
They aren't the same tool. Those run much larger models on someone else's servers, which is the part we're avoiding. This is about what leaves your Mac, and what you keep paying.
Prices as published by OpenAI and Anthropic for their $20 personal plans.
Pay once. Use forever.
No subscriptions. No per-user fees. No monthly surprises. Buy Eduardo once and it's yours — including all updates for the period specified.
Common questions.
Your data is yours. It should stay that way.
In local mode Eduardo runs entirely on your computer, so there is nothing to upload and nothing for us to see. Just you, your screen, and an assistant that explains anything without telling anyone you asked.
