Mac users on Apple Silicon running Tahoe can build small offline apps without coding; Pro is free during the beta, so now is the time.
Kenning's take
What it does
Glaze, made by Raycast, builds native desktop apps for the Mac from a description, so users can create trackers, menu bar tools and internal team apps without coding. Apps run locally, work offline and can use files, shortcuts and APIs. Users can build with Glaze credits or their own Claude subscription and share apps through a public or team store.
- Builds Mac apps from a chat
- Use a Claude subscription or Glaze credits

- Public Glaze Store and private team stores
- App source in a normal folder for any editor
Who it suits. Mac users and teams who want small custom apps without writing code.
