Glaze

Glaze is a full-screen real-time visual stylization tool for macOS.

Through a single shortcut, you can apply CRT, VHS, pencil, comic, pop art, paper, Game Boy, color correction, and more filters to the entire Mac screen, giving desktop, app windows, web pages, videos, and system interfaces a fresh visual texture. It uses GPU and Metal graphics to create effects, focusing the main load on graphics processing while keeping the CPU idle. Daily memory usage is about 50 MB, and it delivers smooth visuals at around 30 fps. The software supports Apple Silicon devices and is compatible with Intel Macs running macOS 12.3 and above. Newer Macs provide more stable real-time performance, while older Intel models may have lower frame rates under heavier effects. Glaze requires screen recording permissions to read screen content and add visual effects. The official statement says it will not record or upload screen content, making it suitable for users who want to add retro, hand-drawn, comic, or creative display styles to their Mac desktop.
