FAQ

How do I get access?

Glaze is in private beta. Join the waitlist and we’ll let you in as soon as we can. Existing Raycast users will get priority access. We’re also hosting in‑person events, and attendees will receive early access. Keep an eye on our Luma page.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe what you want in plain language and Glaze builds it. If something isn’t right, just talk to it and change it. If you do know how to code, you’ll feel right at home shaping things further.

How is Glaze different from Lovable, Replit, or v0?

Those tools build for the browser. Glaze builds for your desktop, giving apps access to the file system, camera, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integration, and background processes—capabilities a web app can’t provide.

What kind of apps can I build?

Anything you can imagine: internal tools, personal utilities, menu‑bar apps, workflow automations, or quick one‑offs that make life easier. If you can describe it, Glaze can build it.

Can I integrate with my tools or AI?

Yes. Glaze apps run on your Mac, so they can connect to your APIs, local files, and hardware. Hook into the tools you already use, pull in AI models, or connect to any service with an API.

Will this be a free or paid product?

Both. Glaze offers a free tier with daily credits to build your first apps and explore the public store. Paid plans start at $20/month with a larger bundle of monthly credits, and teams can create a private store to share apps with colleagues. One‑off credit packs are also available. More pricing details will be shared closer to the public launch.

What platforms does Glaze support?

Mac to start. Windows and Linux are planned for the future.
