Glaze is a new Mac app for making your own software. It’s for vibe coding, meaning you just describe any kind of tool, game, or app you want to create. Glaze builds it. It’s like having a friend who codes and is happy to add whatever small feature you ask for.
How Glaze is different: Unlike other vibe coding tools, like Lovable, Bolt, Gemini Canvas, Google’s AI Studio, or Claude Artifacts, Glaze creates software that runs locally on your computer, not on the web. That means:
Your apps work offline.
Your data stays on your machine.
Apps you make benefit from your computer’s file system, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integration, and background processes. They’re more like real software than the browser apps other vibe coding tools generate.
Platform and Pricing: It’s Mac-only for now. It’s free to use with limits, or $20/month for additional credits. Join the waitlist at glaze.app to get an invite.
The Team: Glaze comes from the startup that makes Raycast, my favorite launcher app.
