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.
I'm Thomas, co-founder and CEO of Raycast. Today we're opening Glaze to everyone, and I think it's a small step toward software finally getting personal. We couldn't be more excited to share it with the Product Hunt community.
Here's the thing that got us here. Tools are how we make progress, and today so many of our tools are apps. But most software is a compromise. To reach millions of people, you build for the average, and the average doesn't really exist. We're all individuals, so the "one app for everyone" always leaves something on the table.
Glaze flips that. You describe what you want, and it builds a Mac app shaped around you. It lives in your dock, launches instantly, works offline, and taps into the full power of your machine. When something isn't right, just talk to it and change it. It's so much fun iterating on it to get exactly what you're looking for.
And it doesn't stop at building. You can publish your app to the public store for anyone to use, or share it privately with your team, so internal tools stay internal and good ideas spread. We run our support and sales processes fully on Glaze apps at Raycast. Additionally, we've seen teams like Cursor, Linear, or Vercel building custom apps to optimize how they get work done.
A few of my favorite apps:
World Cup: Simply stay on top of all matches, with live stats, a beautiful knockout stage view and more.
Yolo: A terminal that is optimized for using agents with vertical tabs, AI suggestions and a ton of keyboard shortcuts.
CS Glaze Synth: A full synthesizer 🤯 The app was used to create the sounds for our launch video.
Glaze is free to start, and there's a paid plan when you want to go further. Mac first, with more platforms to come.
Honestly, the part that blows me away is the creativity. People keep building things we'd never have thought of, and that's exactly what we hoped for.
One thing I'd genuinely love your take on: what's the one app you've always wished existed but never had the time or setup to build? Sign up, try to build it and share your link below.
Thanks for taking a look. We're early, and we'll learn most of this in the open with you 💠
