Glaze is the easiest way to go from an idea to a Mac app. Describe what you want, and it builds a real app that lives in your dock, launches instantly, works offline, and taps into the full power of your computer. Software that's finally personal, shaped around you. From the makers of Raycast.

Hey, one of the makers of Glaze here 👋 Being able to build truly personal apps in just a few prompts is SO powerful, especially when you don't have to think about boilerplate setup and how to distribute the app with others.
Here's a few personal ones built for myself:
Spotify Classic: A dead simply Spotify client inspired by the original macOS app, no fluff - just playlists and search.
Avalanche Map: Visually plan ski touring adventures with 3d maps showing the latest official Swedish avalanche report.
Shader: I'm a huge sucker for evening sun, this makes it easy to visualize shadows from mountains, buildings and trees at any location, date, and time.
Ray.fm: Create your own radio stations, and vibe to the retro cassette-style UI.
Funky Mirror: Play with fun webcam effects on your laptop.
Really excited to see what everyone is shipping on the Glaze store!

Congrats on the launch! 🎉
I jumped in early and already built two apps to test it out. Going from “I wish this existed” to something sitting in my dock in a few minutes still feels a bit magical.
To answer Thomas’ question: the annotation flow is what sold me — being able to just talk to the app and watch it change in real time made iterating genuinely fun rather than a chore.
Excited to see where this goes. 💠
I'm not a developer, but I made an app for myself in very short time — a diary writing app. Now I finally have what I've always wanted. It really blew me away how easy it was to make.. Glaze isn't just for developers; it's also for regular users like me. I already have several more apps in mind.

@anders_lorentsen this makes me soooo happy and is exactly what Glaze is about. Don't need to be a developer, everybody can chat!

I've tried Glaze earlier this week. Would've been great if we could export apps as xcode projects. Other than that, it works really well. Love it!

@mehmetkose great to hear. There’s more to it than just an Xcode project.
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?
Raycast
@hsanypvk You just continue where you left off by chatting and annotating with the app you're building
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?

@crystalmei It's super easy, try it out. You can build your first app for free.

👀👀👀
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!

@petersamokhin Try it out, you would be surprised. The one shots I've seen are impressive. They look stunning and go far! It's free, so why hesitate? 😜
