Running Your App

A Glaze app is real, running software from the very first build. You watch it come together live as the agent works, and when it's ready it opens in its own window like anything else on your Mac, ready to launch, quit, and find again whenever you need it.

Preview

While the agent builds and edits, your app runs in a live preview that updates as the work happens. Make a change in the Agent Chat and the preview reflects it within moments. And because the preview is the app actually running, you can click around in it while the agent works. If something looks off, say so in Agent Chat and watch the fix land.

Opening the Finished App

When the agent finishes, your app opens in its own window, with its own icon in the Dock. It is not a browser tab or a preview pane; it is the app itself. You can use the app just as you would anything you installed. You can reopen an app any time from My Projects in Glaze. See Managing Your Projects.

Where Your Apps Live

Finished Glaze apps install into a Glaze folder inside your Applications directory. They show up in Spotlight like any other app, so you do not have to open Glaze first to launch one.

Relaunching and Quitting

Your apps quit and relaunch like normal Mac apps: press ⌘ Q to quit, or close the window. When the agent ships a change, your app relaunches so you are always looking at the latest version. You can also reopen an app from My Projects whenever you want it back.

Checking the Agent's Work

Because the live preview is the running app, the fastest way to check the agent's work is to use it: click through the flows, open the menus, and confirm a change landed the way you intended.

When something looks off in a specific spot, point at it with Annotate so the agent knows exactly which element you mean; see Annotate. If a change heads the wrong way and you want to step back, see Version History.
