Local, open-source AI app builder for power users ✨ v0 / Lovable / Replit / Bolt alternative 🌟 Star if you like it!
Dyad is a locally installed, open-source AI app builder for Mac and Windows that lets users generate and iterate on web applications using their own API keys, with no account or subscription required. Built in TypeScript with a Next.js and React foundation, it connects to a range of model providers including Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and locally running models via Ollama, giving users full control over which backend they use. The tool functions as a desktop alternative to hosted platforms like Lovable, v0, Bolt, and Replit Agent, with all processing and project files staying on the user's machine rather than a vendor's cloud. The codebase is split between an Apache 2.0 licensed core and a Functional Source Licensed pro section under src/pro. Developers who want AI-assisted app generation without usage caps, data sharing, or ongoing subscription costs are the primary audience.
