Glaze by Raycast - Create your own Mac apps by chatting with AI

I've seen early previews of Glaze and it has been really impressive. Just like everything else from the Raycast team, the level of polish and attention to detail has been amazing. Looking forward to building my own mini-apps without having to do any of the heavy lifting that is usually required for this!

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Pavlo, AI engineer on Glaze.

I build the AI agent behind Glaze, from writing its prompts and refining the harness around it to wiring everything together so it can plan, write code, and validate its own work.

My favorite part is seeing all the effort and engineering behind creating an app disappear into an experience that feels like magic. You describe the app you have in mind, and Glaze helps bring it to life.

On a personal note, beyond being a blast and an awesome challenge to work on, Glaze has also had a real impact on my day-to-day life. I used it to build something I genuinely needed, a dashboard for monitoring my glucose levels tailored to my needs. I never felt like the existing options gave me exactly what I wanted, so I built one for myself with Glaze.

Can’t wait to see what you build. Share your apps, send us your feedback, and help shape what comes next for Glaze 💠

Glaze is super fun — kind of the dream of site-specific browsers brought to the generative AI era!

I've built several personal apps so far and published Tesla Energy to help me track my solar production!

how does it handle updates when you tweak the app later, do you just re-describe the change and it patches the existing build or does it start from scratch each time?

"to reach millions you build for the average, and the average doesn't really exist" is going to live in my head, I run a niche workspace product and this is the exact argument for why vertical software beats horizontal, just taken one step further down to the individual

The idea of creating Mac apps through chat sounds useful, especially for people who have a workflow in mind but don’t want to start from a blank coding setup. How much control does Glaze give over the final app behavior once the AI generates something? For example, can users keep refining the app through chat, or is there also a more developer-style way to inspect and adjust what was created?

The idea of building Mac apps through chat sounds really approachable, especially for the vibe coding / AI workflow automation crowd. How much control does Glaze give over the final app behavior after the initial chat — can users keep refining the app in conversation, or is it more of a one-time generation flow?

Hey PH 👋 I’m Alexandr, one of the engineers on Glaze.

One of the most fun parts of building Glaze has been dogfooding it. I spend a lot of my day juggling git worktrees, dev servers, and multiple AI coding agents, but no app felt quite right for my workflow. So I built my own terminal app with Glaze: Yolo.

This is why I’m so excited about Glaze: it makes software feel personal. Not “one app for everyone,” but apps shaped around the exact workflows, habits, and preferences of the people using them.

Can’t wait to see what you build with Glaze — please share your apps with us 🙏

Tried it yesterday and already love it. Made a little synth in one prompt, then refined it with three more — now I’ve got this cute vintage synth.

Works really well, and the publish flow is super smooth.

Congrats to the awesome Raycast team 🎉

👀👀👀

the free allowance is 120 credits, how much is it actually?

what is the biggest desktop app you can build from scratch on the free trial?

same question for the paid plan, because the cheapest paid plan is $20 which is same as Codex or Claude Code entry subscription price, and this is what Glaze 200 credits compete with

congrats with the launch, it's gonna solve so many quick problems!
