Description
Dyad is a flexible, local, open-source AI app builder that runs on your desktop. Users describe an idea and Dyad turns it into a working web app, while keeping the source code and project files on their own machine with no cloud lock-in.

Dyad lets builders bring their own API keys and choose any AI model, including offline local models, and switch between providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google at any time. It offers visual customization with full control over the code, one-click connections to Supabase or Neon for full-stack database and auth, a built-in security scan, and one-click deployment to GitHub and Vercel. It is also MCP-extensible, letting users plug in Chrome DevTools, web browsing, custom APIs, or any MCP server.
Because it is open source and runs 100% locally, Dyad works offline, does not limit project counts, and lets users audit the code and contribute on GitHub. It is downloadable for macOS and Windows with no sign-up required, and offers a free tier plus paid plans with monthly AI credits.
