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

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!

@petersamokhinΒ 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? π
Been messing around with Glaze for a few days. The idea of describing an app and having it show up in my dock is pretty wild. Built a couple of tiny utilities for myself without writing a line of code. It handles connecting to Notion and GitHub surprisingly well. Still early, and complex apps might be a stretch, but for quick personal tools, it's genuinely fun and useful. Feels like the future of making software personal.

@rick_borduurΒ great to hear and connectors are super powerful.
Love the idea of making software more personal and less βone size fits all.β Curious to see how far people can push it in real workflows beyond early demos.

@kaerels_fernandezΒ Thanks for the kind words; Iβve seen some really wild things already, and Iβm amazed every day by the creativity users have π₯
I build a fully GitHub Review HUB for our team that unifies the way we work with PRs within our team and it has been a gamechanger

@kaerels_fernandezΒ The sky is the limit. We haven't seen the true crazy things just yet.

@thys_beesmanΒ super automated. Prompts can be super short messages. Try it out!

@thys_beesmanΒ just chat and the rest is fully automated. Super fun!
How does Glaze actually handle saving and sharing the apps it builds, like can you export them or are they locked to my machine?
Raycast
@durmumndaΒ it lives on your Mac. You can then publish in the store to share with others or internal.
made a quick app to rename batches of files and it actually worked without me touching a terminal. The offline part is what sold me, didn't expect something this capable to skip the cloud entirely.

@biroluxabΒ Let's gooo!
How does Glaze actually handle updates when the underlying Mac OS or your prompt-based code changes, do you have to rebuild from scratch each time?
Raycast
@tunahanvsbvΒ That's all taken care off
Yolo being built by one of your own engineers to juggle git worktrees and multiple coding agents is the most convincing demo here β that's exactly the kind of hyper-specific tool nobody ships commercially, and it's the one I'd use daily.
What stands out vs other app-gen tools is the distribution story: private team sharing means internal tools actually stay internal instead of dying as a repo someone has to clone and build. Congrats @thomaspaulmann β curious what the store looks like in six months.

@akbar_bΒ Yeah, this blew my mind in a team meeting. I have a bunch of these apps myself. We run easily on a dozen apps already. More to come, glad it clicks.
The idea of describing what you want and getting a real Mac app in your dock that launches instantly is wild. Big respect to the Raycast team for actually shipping something this ambitious instead of just teasing it.
