Glaze by Raycast

Glaze by Raycast reimagines how teams create software by enabling anyone to build custom desktop applications without traditional coding barriers. Using conversational AI, you simply describe what you want your app to do, and Glaze handles the creation process. This approach democratizes software development, allowing non-technical team members to contribute to building tools that solve real workflow problems. The platform operates on a local-first architecture, meaning applications run directly on your Mac without requiring external servers or internet connectivity. This design choice delivers significant privacy and security benefits—your data never leaves your machine, and your apps maintain deeper integration with your operating system. You gain full access to local files, system tools, and hardware capabilities, enabling sophisticated automation and custom functionality tailored to your specific needs. Built-in sharing and publishing features make collaboration seamless. You can easily distribute applications to your team, establish them as internal tools, or release them publicly to the wider community of Glaze users. This fosters a collaborative ecosystem where builders can explore, install, and leverage applications created by others, accelerating productivity across organizations. Glaze seamlessly integrates with your existing toolset, connecting to APIs, third-party services, and local hardware to extend what your custom apps can accomplish. The freemium pricing model lets you start building immediately, with optional paid plans available for advanced features and capabilities.
