Instant answers
How much HP a monster has, what it drops, where an NPC is. Questions like these are answered in a second from the local database, without waiting for the AI.

Ask about the game without leaving it
Maple Helper is a chat window that opens over MapleStory Classic World with one click on its icon. Type a question in English or Hebrew and get an answer with pictures, based on the game's database and on what's on your screen right now.
Maple Helper is a desktop app. Open this page on the computer you play on to download it.
How it works
Three steps, and the game stays open
-
Open the chat
Click the Maple Helper icon next to the clock, and the chat opens over the game. Close it to keep playing.
-
Ask
Type, or tap the microphone and talk. When the chat opens, the app takes a screenshot of the game window and sends it with your question, so the answer fits what's happening in your game.
-
Get an answer
Simple questions, like a monster's HP or who drops an item, are answered instantly from the database on your computer. The AI you choose (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok) answers the harder ones, using a MapleStory Classic database.
Features
What you'd look up on a wiki, inside the game
Cards with pictures
Monsters, items, maps, NPCs and quests show up as cards with a picture and stats. Tap a card to ask about it, like "where is it?" or "which one is easier for me?".
Tracked items
Star an item to add it to your list. Each item shows who drops it, lowest level first, and on which map.
English or Hebrew
The whole app runs in English or Hebrew, your choice, and game names stay in English even inside Hebrew sentences. Font size and answer length are adjustable too.
32 guides, with pictures
Guides for every class, grind maps, the EXP table, the damage formula and more, with skill and item icons, character art, tables and tips. In Hebrew too.
The guides that fit your character come first, and one button sends a question about the guide to the chat.
Patch notes
When the game database updates, you see exactly what changed: new monsters and items, drops added or removed, changed stats. If an item on your list gets a new drop, you'll be told.
Your character, kept up to date
No need to update anything by hand. When the AI answers, Maple Helper looks at the game screen and updates your level, job and character picture. Keep several characters, each with its own history.
Your choice of AI
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok, on your own account or an API key. Switch any time in settings. The app installs each one's official tool for you, with the progress right in the app, and keeps it read-only and on the game: it can't change files or browse the web, and questions about anything else get a short no.
Ask out loud
Press the microphone button, talk, press it again. Speech is transcribed on your computer with ivrit.ai models, which understand Hebrew too, and the recording never leaves it.
Light or dark
A clean glass look with orange as the only color. Pick light or dark in settings.
Keeps itself updated
The game database updates in the background. On Windows the app updates itself too; on macOS you get a notice with a link to the new version.
- Every update is checked against a checksum before it's installed
- Your conversations and characters carry over between versions
Beside the game
Play tools: calculators and planners beside the chat
The tools button in the chat opens a window that sits next to the game. Everything in it is worked out from the database and your character, without asking the AI or waiting.
Grind spots, grind tracker, hit & damage
The best maps for your level, ranked: hit chance, hits to kill, EXP and the kills left to level up. The grind tracker measures EXP and mesos an hour from screenshots.
In the calculator, pick a monster to see the ACC you need to never miss, and one tap takes you to the way there.
Farm
Who drops each item, where and at what level. Monsters that drop what your quests, recipes and starred items need come first, then what an NPC pays most for. A farm session counts what lands in your bag.
Quests for your level
A full card for every quest: where you get it, what to do, what to bring and where to get it, who you finish with and what you get. Daily and weekly quests come back by themselves, and you can jump to the quest you need to finish first.
Crafting
Six professions: the teacher, the quests, and every recipe by level, searchable by name or ingredient. Beside each ingredient: who drops it and what it sells for.
Citizenship
The Henesys and Kerning City quests by citizenship grade, how to get each and what to do, and the town the guide recommends for your job.
Pets
Every pet line by line: lifespan, hunger, commands to level 30 and the fastest command at each stage, its Cash Shop price, and the skills you can buy for it.
Sell or keep
Open your inventory, and the app names every item and says what to do with it: keep it for a quest, a recipe or as gear, or sell it to an NPC or on the Free Market, and for how much. No AI, straight from the database.
Build plan
The AP, SP and gear tables from your class guide, your level's row highlighted, and a table for each 2nd job.
Item price
NPC prices and a live Free Market median from players' reports, for every item that trades.
Everything is linked
From any monster, item or NPC, one tap to the way there, hit & damage, farming and prices. Every term has a ? that explains it, and every picture grows on hover.
Install
What you need, and how to install
Setup takes a few minutes. The app walks you through every step, including installing and connecting your AI, right inside the app.
Requirements
-
Windows 10 or 11, or macOS 12 or later On a Mac you need Apple Silicon (M1 or newer).
-
An AI account: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok Claude Pro or Max, a paid ChatGPT plan, your Google account for Gemini, or a Grok account (a free one works). Each runs through its maker's official tool: if you don't have it yet, the app installs it for you, with the progress in the app, and signs you in. An API key works too.
-
The game in a window mode Borderless or Windowed Fullscreen, so the chat can appear on top of it.
-
An internet connection For the AI's answers and updates. A microphone only if you want to talk; the first time you do, a speech model of about 1.6 GB downloads once.
Install
Windows
- Download MapleHelper-Setup.exe and run it. No admin rights needed.
- If a blue SmartScreen window appears, click "More info", then "Run anyway".
- Go through the setup screens: language, choosing and connecting your AI, and your character.
- Open the game, then click the Maple Helper icon next to the clock or on your desktop.
The warning shows up because the installer isn't code-signed yet (signing costs money). The code is open on GitHub for anyone who wants to check it.
macOS
- Download MapleHelper-macOS.dmg, open it and drag Maple Helper into Applications.
- macOS blocks the first launch, because the app isn't notarized by Apple yet. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway".
- Allow Screen Recording when the app asks, then restart it. That's how it sees the game window.
- Open the game, then click the Maple Helper icon in the menu bar. The app lives there, with no Dock icon.
MapleStory Classic World has a Mac version too: install the game, and Maple Helper finds its window on its own.
Privacy and safety
What the app does, and what it doesn't
Your data
Stays on your computerSettings, characters, chat history, voice recordings and the game database. No ads, no tracking.
Goes to the AI you chose, only when you askYour question, a screenshot of the game window, and the context needed to answer: your character's details, the recent conversation and short summaries of earlier ones. When you close a chat, it may be sent once more to summarize it for next time.
Never sent at allInstant answers from the database and voice transcription. Both happen on your computer.
Your game
Maple Helper only looks at the screen, like a screenshot tool. It opens its own window on top of the game, and that's it.
- Never reads or changes the game's files or memory
- Never presses keys or moves the mouse for you
- Never plays for you or automates anything
It's an unofficial tool, not affiliated with Nexon. We can't promise how the game's rules will treat helper apps, so use it at your own risk.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Maple Helper cost anything?
The app is free and its code is open on GitHub. The AI you choose (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok) gives the harder answers, on your own account: Claude Pro or Max, a paid ChatGPT plan, your Google account for Gemini, or a Grok account (a free one works, with a limited quota). A pay-as-you-go API key works too. Instant answers from the database don't count against your plan.
Can I get banned for using it?
Maple Helper only takes screenshots, like any screenshot tool. It doesn't read the game's memory or files, doesn't press keys and doesn't play for you.
Still, it's an unofficial tool with no connection to Nexon, and nobody can promise what the game's policy will be. Use it at your own risk.
Why does Windows warn me when I run the installer?
The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen warns about an unrecognized app. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". The code is open on GitHub, and every update is checked against a checksum before it's installed.
Where does the game information come from?
From NiaMeowDB's public database, credited in the app. A copy of the database is kept on your computer and updates itself, and when it does, the app shows you what changed.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes, on macOS 12 or later with Apple Silicon. MapleStory Classic World runs on Mac too, and Maple Helper finds the game window by its title.
What exactly is sent to the AI?
Only when you ask, and only to the AI you chose (Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini or xAI's Grok): your question, a screenshot of the game window, and the context needed to answer (your character's details, the recent conversation and short summaries of earlier ones). Settings, the full history and voice recordings are kept on your computer. When you close a chat, it may be sent once more to summarize it for next time.
How do I update?
On Windows the app updates itself in the background. On macOS a notice in the menu links to the new version. The game database updates itself on both.
Ready to try it?
