Glaze is a new Mac application introducing "vibe coding," a method where users describe their desired software, and the AI generates it. Unlike many AI development tools that create web apps, Glaze focuses on building software that runs locally on your computer. This ensures applications work offline, keep your data private, and integrate more deeply with your operating system's features, offering a more native software experience.
Developed by the team behind Raycast, Glaze aims to simplify app creation. Users can describe their idea, and the AI guides them through planning, building, refining, and publishing. Early users have created small apps like meditation timers and URL organizers in minutes. Glaze operates on a credit system, with a free tier and a $20/month subscription for more extensive use. While currently Mac-only, Glaze represents a significant step in making custom software development more accessible through advanced AI.
