How is Glaze different from tools like Replit or v0?

While Replit and v0 focus on web applications that run in a browser, Glaze builds native desktop applications. This allows Glaze apps to access your file system, use system-wide keyboard shortcuts, and integrate with the Mac menu bar.

Which AI models power the app generation?

Glaze primarily uses Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex models to interpret prompts and generate the application logic and UI.

Do I need to know how to code to use Glaze?

No. Glaze is designed for 'vibe coding,' where you describe what you want in plain English, and the AI handles the technical implementation and compilation.

Can I use Glaze on Windows or Linux?

At launch, Glaze is exclusively available for macOS. Support for Windows and Linux platforms is planned for future releases.

What kind of apps can I build?

Users have built everything from GitHub workflow monitors and MIDI synthesizers to custom dashboards, personal music players, and internal reporting tools.

Is Glaze included in my Raycast Pro subscription?

Glaze is a separate strategic product with its own pricing tiers starting at $20/month for Pro features, though it features deep technical integration with the Raycast launcher.

About Glaze by Raycast

What the tool does and who it's for

Glaze by Raycast is an AI-powered desktop application builder designed specifically for macOS. Unlike web-based builders that generate browser tools, Glaze creates native Mac applications that run locally, work offline, and integrate deeply with the operating system. Users can build functional software—ranging from dashboards and music players to internal team tools—simply by describing their requirements to an AI agent. The platform leverages advanced models like Claude Code to interpret plain-language prompts and generate code-free, production-ready software. These apps support native features such as keyboard shortcuts, menu bar icons, file system access, and background processes. Glaze also features a public store for sharing and forking community-created apps, and private stores for organizations to distribute custom internal tools.
