My first Mac App (built with Glaze!)
I spent last week doing the heavy lifting of building my very first Mac app to see if I could turn an idea into a functional tool for my own workflow.
Even Charlie gave his thumbs up 🥹
Took advantage of the @Glaze by Raycast awards to test my building skills!
Enter PrettyShots 👨🎨
A tool for creating beautiful screenshots.
What’s inside:
- Easy screenshot uploads
- Custom background selections
- Export in high-res no watermark
- $100+ saved annually on subscriptions (I've personally cancelled a tool that did this)
The building part was easy, but the real work was refining the logic.
I used Notion for the draft, Pretty Prompt for the refinement, and Glaze by Raycast to bring it to life.
Check it out and let me know your thoughts.
Go build!

Pretty Prompt
@oluwanifemi_oluwadamilare works pretty well! Try it out: https://www.glaze.app/app/prettyshots-XHcKQ0
Just a side project to the real startup @Pretty Prompt

Congrats on shipping your first Mac app! 🎉
I think building a tool for your own workflow is one of the best ways to start.
If it saves you time and even replaces a paid subscription, there's a good chance others will find it useful too. All the best!
This is a great example of how AI is lowering the barrier to building useful software. Excited to see what you build next with Glaze! 🚀
