Glaze AI: build, publish, and use AI-powered apps

image

✨ Glaze AI

Glaze apps can now use AI seamlessly, with no API keys to configure and no infrastructure to build or maintain.

Describe what you want to build, and the agent can add text generation, streaming responses, image understanding, and image generation directly to your app. When someone uses an AI-powered app, its AI usage draws from their own Glaze credits, with a daily cap.

The first time an app wants to use AI, Glaze asks for permission. You can review or revoke access at any time from Settings → AI Access.

🏆 Glaze Awards

The competition to build the best desktop app with Glaze kicks off on Thursday 23 July, 8am BST (12am PDT). With this release, you will be able to submit your app to the competition for a chance to win up to $10,000. Just publish your app to the Public Store and tag it as an entry.

Visit the new Awards tab in the product, or glaze.app/awards for more details.

✨ New

  • Native Calendar, Contacts, and Reminders: The agent can now build apps that work directly with Calendar, Contacts, and Reminders. These integrations use native macOS permissions you control, without relying on AppleScript or custom helper code. If your existing apps previously integrated with these services, you can ask agent to migrate to new API.
  • Profile sorting: Sort apps on creator profiles by Most Downloaded, Recently Updated, or Newest—both in the desktop Store and on glaze.app.
  • Changelog: See what’s new in Glaze directly from the Account menu.

💎 Improvements

  • App icons and file thumbnails: Improved how the agent adds native macOS app icons and file previews to your apps, making apps that use them much easier to build without the workarounds previously required. Already have an app using app icons or file thumbnails? Ask the agent to update it to the new native image APIs. It will use getFileIconUrl() and getFileThumbnailUrl(), guided by the built-in native images skill.
  • Task retries: After a temporary interruption, Try Again now continues from where the agent stopped and preserves the work it already completed.
  • Fix with Agent: When a rebuild fails, you can send the build error directly to the agent to diagnose and fix.
  • Regional availability: If Glaze isn’t available in your region, you’ll now see a clear explanation instead of a misleading account or subscription error.
  • Local version history: On Macs without Git, Glaze quietly sets up what it needs in the background, avoiding the macOS developer tools installation prompt.

🐞 Fixes

  • Agent chat: Fixed an issue where certain pasted content could leave a project’s Agent chat stuck loading. Affected projects now recover automatically.
  • Steering: Rapid follow-up messages sent while the agent is working are no longer dropped.
  • Store navigation: App pages now open at the top, while returning to the Store restores your previous scroll position without jumping.
  • Sign-in: If a saved session becomes unreadable, Glaze now signs you out cleanly instead of getting stuck restarting.
  • Tooltips: Longer tooltips now wrap instead of being cut off.
  • Store carousel: Carousel controls no longer overlap nearby buttons.
