Raycast launches Glaze for AI-built desktop apps

Raycast is betting that “vibe coding” gets far more useful when output is a real desktop app with local permissions, not just another hosted web prototype.

• –Glaze emphasizes native capabilities like file system access, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar hooks, and background processes.
• –The product ships with both public and private team stores, which could speed up internal tool distribution inside companies.
• –Private beta and Mac-only rollout keep scope tight, but also limit near-term reach versus browser-first AI builders.
• –Raycast’s existing developer-heavy user base gives Glaze a built-in audience that can stress-test real workflows quickly.
