Glaze

Glaze is an AI-powered desktop app builder from Raycast that lets users create native Mac apps by simply describing what they want. Instead of building browser-based tools or writing code from scratch, Glaze turns plain-language prompts into real desktop applications that live on your computer, launch quickly, and work offline. The platform is designed for building personal utilities, workflow automations, internal tools, menu bar apps, and custom software for specific tasks. Because Glaze apps run directly on macOS, they can connect more deeply with the operating system than typical web apps. They can access local files, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integrations, background processes, APIs, and other system-level workflows. Glaze is especially useful when existing software is too generic, too complex, or not tailored to a specific workflow. Users can describe the app they need, let the AI agent build it, and then continue refining the result through conversation. If something is not right, they can ask Glaze to change the interface, logic, behavior, or integrations. The product also includes a Glaze Store where users can discover apps made by the wider community, install them, and use them as inspiration. Apps can be published publicly, shared privately as unlisted apps, or distributed through a private team store on the Team plan. Glaze is local-first, AI-assisted, and focused on making desktop software creation more accessible. It gives individuals and teams a faster way to create custom Mac apps for everyday work, internal operations, productivity systems, developer workflows, and one-off utilities without starting from a blank codebase.
