March 2026 Summaries

Glaze is a new platform that revolutionizes desktop app creation by leveraging AI, allowing users to build personalized and genuinely beautiful software without the need for coding, specifically for Mac systems. Unlike traditional apps, Glaze apps run locally, providing instant launch times, offline functionality, and integration with native Mac features like keyboard shortcuts and menu bars. The platform offers a public store and private team stores where users can find, install, and customize apps to fit their needs, exemplified by its internal use for various workflows, including a GitHub-connected app for extension reviews. Developed by the creators of Raycast, a popular productivity app, Glaze embodies their commitment to adaptable, user-centered software, and introduces a new era where apps can continuously evolve to suit individual preferences. The private beta for Glaze opens on March 4th, with priority access given to existing Raycast users, marking the beginning of a shift from static to dynamic software experiences.
