Mary & Pip Launches Finance App Built Around Weekly Money Habits

New York – October 15, 2026 -- Mary & Pip, a new finance app that tells users their next money move and lets them act on it in the same place, is now publicly available in the App Store.

The platform pulls a user's broader financial life into one place, identifies a clear next step based on their priorities, and provides the tools to carry it out inside the app. It is built on a behavioral system meant to make financial decisions easier to understand, execute and repeat.

MacPaw's Eney AI Assistant Prepares Your Next Step on Mac

Boston – October 15, 2026 -- MacPaw's new AI assistant Eney is available now for Mac and iPhone, free to try for 14 days with 10,000 AI credits. It watches your apps, files and calendar, prepares the next step and waits for your approval before it acts.

Eney is built for people whose days fill up with chasing documents, catching up on threads or prepping for calls. According to MacPaw, it needs no complicated setup or AI know-how.

Eney asks before it sends, changes or moves anything

MacPaw's own research of US Mac users (July–August 2026) found that 81% had used an AI tool in the previous three months, but only 39% said AI was embedded in how they work. Eney is designed around that gap: proactive, never autonomous. By default it asks before sending a message, changing an event or moving a file, and users decide how much it can do alone.

MacPaw founder and CEO Oleksandr Kosovan describes it as "a careful colleague" rather than a chatbot.

Partiful Plus Adds Paid Profile Themes and Guest-List Peeks

New York – October 14, 2026 -- Partiful has launched Partiful Plus, an optional monthly subscription for iOS and Android users in the United States. It adds profile personalization, premium event themes and effects, app customization and early access to new features. Creating events, sending invitations, managing RSVPs and RSVPing all stay free.

Peek lets invited guests preview the guest list before RSVPing

The headline feature is Peek, which the company describes as one of its most highly requested. Guests directly invited by a host can see who's going and the neighborhood of an eligible event before they decide whether to RSVP. Peek shows the guest list and the general area, not the exact address.

Guests who skip Peek can still RSVP for free to see guest and location details.

Americas Cardroom Update Adds Wild Emojis, Mystery Bounty Tournaments

San José, Costa Rica – October 02, 2026 -- Americas Cardroom has released a software update introducing Progressive Mystery Bounty tournaments, a Wild emoji collection, expanded Staking Tickets and broader mobile-table support.

Players choose between Mild and Wild emoji reactions

The Emoji Gallery now offers two collections: Mild (PG) and Wild (R). The Wild set adds more aggressive reactions and throwables, with each player's own setting controlling only what appears on their own screen. Emojis can be turned off entirely through Settings > Playing Experience > Gameplay.

Progressive Mystery Bounty spans multiple tournament days

The new format locks bounty play during Day 1. Once opening flights conclude, the bounty pool is randomly distributed among players advancing to Day 2. From that point, eliminating an opponent pays half of their bounty immediately, while the other half is added to the eliminator's own bounty.
