Glaze by Raycast

--- Raycast—the company that made your Mac actually usable—just dropped Glaze, and it's exactly as ambitious as it sounds. Glaze lets you build real, native Mac apps by simply describing what you want in plain English. No code, no debugging nightmares, just tell it what you need and watch it materialize. The app runs locally on your machine, works offline, and owns nothing from the cloud—your data, your code, your machine.

Here's why this matters: every other AI app builder (Lovable, Replit, v0) is stuck in the browser. Glaze breaks out. Your apps get full access to the file system, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integration, background processes—actual operating system superpowers. That means you can build internal tools, personal utilities, workflow automations, or quick one-off apps that actually feel like software, not webpages pretending to be desktop apps. It's local-first, privacy-first, and it's a fundamentally different category than anything else in the AI dev space.

Glaze currently requires macOS Tahoe and Apple Silicon, with Windows and Linux support coming later. If you've ever wanted to build something but couldn't stomach learning Swift or Python, this is your cheat code. Raycast already powers millions of Mac users' workflows—now they're letting you build your own.
