macOS image & video viewer with in-place AI
Open an image or video, inspect the details, and decide what to do next. Glance brings viewing, AI tools, and image comparison into one native Mac app.
Demo animation based on Glance's current interface design.
One loop
No more bouncing between web tools, your Downloads folder and a separate viewer. The whole job happens in one window.
A native macOS viewer for images and video: zoom, pan, browse a folder, play video and grab frames. Make it your default viewer and open straight from Finder.
Choose a Widget from the context menu to work on an image or video, with tools for upscaling, outpainting, background removal and more. Cloud Widgets require sign-in and may use credits; the media you submit is uploaded for processing. The menu shows the cost, and results are saved to Downloads/Glance.
Put the original and the result side by side, or drag a slider between them. See exactly what changed before you use it.
Open an image in Image Inspection and Glance recognizes its text on your Mac. Drag to select, press ⌘C to copy, or open Tools → Recognize Text for the full result. No Pro, credits or upload needed.
Play video, capture any frame, crop it in the capture editor, then save or copy it.
New accounts get 100 credits. You only pay for cloud runs; local features never use credits.
