Glowbom Docs

Glowbom starts with a sketch, a photo, or a few words. Build a prototype, try it, and keep improving it with local tools and coding agents.

Our direction is simple: building software should feel like writing a book. A Project Book keeps the project's intent, decisions, and history beside the code so people and agents can understand where to go next.

Choose where to start

Experience	What it is	Start here
Glowbom Web	Sketch and try a prototype in your browser.	Open the canvas
Glowbom Desktop	Continue local projects in the full Mac app, available through early access.	Explore Desktop

The Desktop guide brings together AI connections, the Project Book, companion apps, and optional Glowbom Live. Desktop and Live are closed-source apps. Live and the companion apps are installed separately.

Prefer the open-source path? Glowbom OSS provides the shared open backend, CLI, and a browser workspace for coding and Buzz connections. It works independently, without installing Desktop, creating a Glowbom account, or joining early access.

Your first project

Follow the Quickstart to sketch on the web and continue with local files. You can also start directly in Glowbom OSS using the bundled project without a Glowbom account.

What stays yours

Glowbom OSS works with files on your computer. You can open and edit those files with other tools. When you choose a cloud model, its provider receives the inputs needed for that request; running the interface locally does not make every AI request offline.
