Think of it as the love child of a smartwatch face and a vending machine. You don’t have to work for the goodies — they just appear. It’s also a bit like having a TV on your lock screen, but without the commercials.
Remember those old magazine racks in waiting rooms? Yeah, Glance is like that, but tailored to your tastes and updated every second.
Is Glance an App?
But Wait, Is It Distracting?
Honestly? It can be. If you’re the type who gets lost in a scroll hole, Glance might pull you in for a few extra minutes. But you can customize what shows up, so it’s not a firehose.
Most people find it actually saves them time. You don’t open Instagram “just for a second” and come back an hour later. You get the weather, a headline, and you’re out.
