Key takeaways
EVY (evy.so) is now a free Mac app for people and AI agents: one to-do list, goals for each space, and notes kept as Markdown files, with Claude Code and Codex doing tasks on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan.
Earlier in 2026 it was a voice-memo-to-posts tool for LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. That product, the waitlist and the $19 Plus plan are gone from the site.
It is free for the whole team with no paid plan, but agents need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, and it runs on Mac only for now.
The free voice.md generator is still there: paste a few things you wrote and get a file any AI can follow.
For creating, scheduling and tracking LinkedIn and Twitter posts, EVY is no longer the tool. ContentIn, Supergrow and VoiceMoat (our product) are the closest alternatives.
How we researched this. Updated 21 October 2026. Everything below comes from EVY’s own site (homepage, pricing, about and brand facts, trust page, imprint and free tools), read first-hand on 21 October 2026. We have not used the app ourselves, so there is no hands-on testing in this review. An earlier version of this page reviewed EVY’s previous product; “What changed in 2026” below explains the switch.
What is EVY?
EVY (evy.so) is a free Mac app that plans your work, hands tasks to AI agents (Claude Code on your Claude plan, Codex on your ChatGPT plan) and keeps your company’s knowledge as plain Markdown files. It started 2026 as a voice-memo-to-social-posts tool and has since become a workspace for people and agents.
EVY’s tagline is now “The free workspace for people and agents.” You keep one to-do list for people and agents, switch on Auto, and EVY’s agents work down the list in the order of your plan while you do something else, asking when they get stuck. Plans, goals and notes live in spaces, one per company or project. It is free for the whole team, with no paid plan and no card, because the agents run on the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for.

One disambiguation still matters: EVY (evy.so) is not evyAI (evyai.com), a LinkedIn engagement browser extension by Joe Apfelbaum. Review-site listings for “evy AI” are usually about evyAI, so do not read its ratings as EVY’s.
What changed in 2026
When we first reviewed EVY in August 2026, it was a content tool. Its pitch was “4 minutes of voice, a week of posts in your voice”: speak a short voice memo and get a batch of drafts for LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. On 21 October 2026 the same site, with the same orange wave logo, describes a different product.
EVY then and now (vendor-stated).
Our August 2026 review | EVY on 21 October 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
What it is | Voice memos in, a week of social posts out | A to-do list, goals and notes where AI agents do part of the work |
Where it runs | Web app, behind a waitlist | Mac app (macOS 14 or later) |
Price | Free plan, plus a $19 per member a month Plus plan | Free for the whole team, no paid plan |
Company | EVY Labs LLC (Delaware) | Helix Studio OÜ, Tallinn, Estonia; founded October 2025 per its brand facts |
Voice input | Voice memos that become post drafts | Talk to EVY: hold ⌥⌘ and speak to give EVY instructions |
Still there | Free voice.md generator | Free voice.md generator |
Social posts have not vanished completely: the homepage demo shows an agent drafting a client’s October social posts. But creating posts is now one task among many that you hand to Claude or ChatGPT, not what EVY itself is built for. If you came here for a voice-memo-to-posts tool, the alternatives are further down.
Who EVY is for now
EVY fits a small team, or a solo founder, who already pays for Claude or ChatGPT, works on a Mac, and wants one place where the day’s plan, the tasks for people and agents, and the company’s notes live together. It suits people who are comfortable letting Claude Code or Codex take tasks on their own machine.
It is not a fit if you:
wanted the old voice-memo-to-posts product, or any tool built to create, schedule and track LinkedIn or Twitter posts
use Windows or want a browser app (EVY says it is Mac only for now)
do not pay for Claude or ChatGPT, since the agents need one of those plans
How EVY works
To-do: one list for people and agents. EVY plans the day each morning, and with Auto switched on, agents take tasks a few at a time in the order of your plan. Their questions land at the top of your list.
Direction: goals, initiatives and responsibilities for each space, which set the order the agents work in.
Spaces: one per company or area of work, with Private and Shared notes kept apart.
Agents on your Mac: Claude Code (on your Claude plan) and Codex (on your ChatGPT plan) take tasks with your notes as context.
Knowledge as files: every note is saved as a Markdown file in a folder on your Mac and updated every few minutes with history in git, so any tool or AI can read it and it stays if you leave.
Talk to EVY: hold ⌥⌘ and speak to give EVY instructions.
To download it, you leave your name, company email and team size. Setup then happens inside the app: EVY creates an account for your Mac without an email or password, and you add an email later when you invite people.
The free voice.md tool
EVY still offers its free voice.md generator, and it is the part most relevant to anyone who creates content. You paste three or more short pieces you wrote (posts, articles, emails) and it builds a voice.md file: your voice profile plus writing rules, formatting rules and a list of 40+ AI phrases to avoid. You paste that file into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini so drafts come back closer to how you write. It needs no account, and EVY says it does not store the text you paste.

It is a useful free tool. It is also a static file: it does not learn from what you publish next, and it does not check a finished draft against your past posts.

Post on LinkedIn and Twitter in a way that reads like you
VoiceMoat is the Personal Brand OS for LinkedIn and Twitter. audenAI, the brain inside it, learns from your own posts, then helps you create, schedule and grow.
Creator plan $35 a month after the trial. Cancel anytime.
EVY pricing (2026)
EVY is free for you and your whole team, with no paid plan and no card. The cost sits elsewhere: to hand tasks to agents you need a Claude plan (for Claude Code) or a ChatGPT plan (for Codex), and that work runs under your own plan and its terms.
EVY pricing (vendor-stated; verify at evy.so).
What you pay for | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
EVY | €0 | Whole team, no paid plan, no card |
Your AI plan | Your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription | Needed for agents; EVY’s own features (Talk to EVY, search, transcription) run through EVY’s AI providers |
EVY positions itself against Notion AI: its pricing page says a team of 12 pays €234 a month for Notion’s Business plan before agent credits, against €0 for EVY.
Privacy and where your data lives
Notes stay on your Mac as Markdown files.
Plans, tasks, notes and chats are stored on EVY’s servers at Hetzner in Nuremberg, Germany. Uploads and voice notes are stored with Amazon S3.
Agents run under your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, so that work goes to Anthropic or OpenAI under your agreement with them.
EVY says it never trains AI on your content and never sells your data. Its trust page lists every provider and what it receives.
A note on how new EVY is
The new EVY is young. Its brand facts list October 2025 as the founding date, the operator is a small Estonian company (Helix Studio OÜ), and the outside recognition it lists is a Product Hunt page and a weekly #1 on Openhunts. A search on 21 October 2026 found no independent reviews of the workspace yet. Older “EVY” reviews online describe the previous voice-memo product or the unrelated evyAI extension, so read them with care. It has also changed product once already, so expect more change.
Strengths and limitations
Where EVY is strong
Free for the whole team, with no second AI bill if you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT.
Agents work through your to-do list on their own and ask when they are stuck.
No lock-in: notes are plain Markdown files on your Mac.
An EU operator, servers in Germany, and a plain-language trust page.
The free voice.md tool is genuinely useful.
Where EVY is thin
Mac only for now: no Windows or browser app.
Agents need a paid Claude or ChatGPT plan.
Not a social media tool: no scheduling, publishing or analytics for LinkedIn or Twitter.
Very new, with no independent reviews yet.
It has already changed product once.
EVY vs VoiceMoat, and alternatives
We build VoiceMoat, so read this as biased but honest. EVY and VoiceMoat now solve different problems. EVY runs your team’s work with AI agents. VoiceMoat is a Personal Brand OS for LinkedIn and Twitter: audenAI, the brain inside VoiceMoat, learns from your own posts, creates drafts from your ideas and checks drafts for Style and Stance, and VoiceMoat schedules, publishes and shows what works.
They can sit side by side. VoiceMoat has a connector for Claude, including Claude Code (how to connect it), so an assistant can read your voice profile and draft from your own content before you approve a post. We have not tested that connector inside EVY’s agents.
If you came for the old EVY and its voice-memo-to-posts idea, these are the closest tools we have reviewed:
ContentIn: a LinkedIn AI ghostwriter that learns from your posts and plans your week.
Supergrow: a budget LinkedIn writer with a voice interview.
VoiceMoat: LinkedIn and Twitter, built on your own content (our product).

Is EVY worth it?
If you run a small team on a Mac, already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, and want agents to work through a shared to-do list with your notes as context, EVY is worth trying: it costs nothing and your notes stay as files you own. If you wanted a tool for creating and posting social content, EVY is no longer one. Its free voice.md generator is still worth a few minutes, and for LinkedIn and Twitter a dedicated tool will do more.

Every social MCP connector reaches both platforms. That is not the hard part
We were going to write that connecting one assistant to both Twitter and LinkedIn was rare. It is not. More than twenty connectors do it and several are free, so channel coverage is table stakes and every roundup ranking them by it is measuring the wrong thing. Here is what actually differs between them, and the one thing we read enumerated tool lists for six of them to confirm nobody does at all.

Why your Claude writing skill doesn't sound like you
There are dozens of free Claude skills for writing, and almost all of them do the same thing: strip out phrases that read as machine-written. That is subtraction, and it leaves you sounding like nobody in particular rather than like yourself. The handful that actually learn a voice from your own writing have a fraction of the users. Here is the difference, why a skill cannot post anything no matter what it says, and where the file actually goes on every surface.
