Glaze is a Mac app for vibe coding that turns descriptions into software built to run locally on a computer. Apps created with Glaze work offline and use the computer’s file system, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar integration, and background processes, making them feel like real software rather than browser-based tools. Glaze differs from other vibe coding options by running on the user’s machine instead of the web. It is free with limits or costs $20 per month for additional credits, with a waitlist at glaze.app. Early projects include macHealth for diagnosing Mac performance issues, Pinfont for font previews, and tools like an offline NY Times game, PDF and image merging, and image generation from text.
"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."
"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: 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."
"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."
