Product Keywords
Glaze is a desktop app builder that turns plain-language descriptions into real macOS applications. Instead of writing code or learning a framework, you describe what you want, and Glaze generates a native Mac app that lives in your dock, launches instantly, and works fully offline. Built by the team behind Raycast, it brings AI-powered app creation directly to your operating system.
Every app you create runs entirely on your machine. No server dependency, no internet connection required. Your data stays local, and apps launch instantly from your dock.
Glaze apps can access your file system, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar, background processes, and other operating system capabilities. This goes far beyond what browser-based tools can offer.
You describe what you want in plain English, and Glaze builds it. If something isn't right, you talk to it and make changes. For those who code, the generated code is fully accessible and editable.
Apps can be shared privately with individuals, published to a team store, or released publicly in the Glaze Store. Recipients only need Glaze installed — no paid subscription required to run shared apps.
"It's a different category entirely — desktop-native apps that access your OS, not browser tools that live on someone else's server."
Glaze doesn't compete with no-code web app builders. It builds real macOS applications that integrate with your operating system at a deep level. Your apps can control the menu bar, respond to keyboard shortcuts, run background processes, and connect to local files and hardware. This makes it suitable for everything from quick personal utilities to serious internal tools that hook into your team's APIs and workflows.
You've ever wished for a tiny app that does exactly one thing your way — a menu bar timer, a file organizer, a team dashboard, or a workflow automation. If you can describe it, Glaze can build it. Currently available for macOS Tahoe and Apple Silicon, with Windows and Linux support planned.
