Intro

What is Glaze by Raycast?

Glaze by Raycast is a desktop app builder that lets you create software for yourself or your team by chatting with AI. The Glaze app runs locally on your Mac, connects to your files, tools, and hardware, and is designed for people who want real desktop software instead of browser-only prototypes. It is local-first, OS-integrated, and opinionated by default, so the Glaze Raycast experience feels like a fast way to make personal utilities, workflow automations, internal tools, and shareable apps.
