About Glaze by Raycast

Glaze lets you create desktop applications by describing what you want. The apps run on your Mac, launch instantly, and work offline, so you get software that fits how you work. It is designed for individual creators and teams who want to build on their own devices without relying on external servers.

It emphasizes local-first operation and OS integration as core principles so that apps can access system resources directly.

It supports publishing to a public store or private team stores, with a beta process for specific features and sharing options.

The product is suitable for teams and individuals who want to build tools that reflect their processes and workflows, with a focus on personalisation and integration with existing APIs and hardware. The interface highlights agent-based building, sources on the Mac, and the ability to publish and distribute widely or within a team.

Frequently asked questions

What is Glaze?
Glaze lets you build your own desktop apps just by describing what you want. They live on your Mac, launch instantly, and work offline, so you get real software that fits the way you work.
How do I get started?
Download Glaze for Mac and start building. Glaze currently requires macOS Tahoe and Apple Silicon, with Windows and Linux support planned down the road.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Glaze builds it. If something isn’t right, just talk to it and change it.
How is Glaze different from Lovable, Replit, or v0?
Those tools build for the browser. Glaze builds for your desktop. That means your apps can access your file system, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integration, background processes, and deeper integration with your OS. Your data stays on your machine, not on someone else’s server. It’s a different category entirely.
What kind of apps can I build?
Anything that comes to mind. Internal tools for your team, personal utilities, menu bar apps, workflow automations, or just quick one-off things that make your life easier.
