Local, private AI app builder with zero lock-in
Build AI-powered applications locally with your own API keys. Fast, private alternative to v0, Lovable, and Bolt that runs entirely on your machine.
Dyad is a desktop application that brings AI-powered app generation to your local machine. Unlike cloud-based alternatives such as v0, Lovable, or Bolt, Dyad runs entirely on your computer, ensuring your code and ideas remain private while eliminating vendor dependencies.
Bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, or connect to local models via Ollama. Built with TypeScript and React, Dyad offers cross-platform support for Mac and Windows with no sign-up required—just download and start building.
Licensed under Apache 2.0, Dyad welcomes contributions from developers who want to shape the future of local-first AI tooling. Whether you're prototyping a new product or building production applications, Dyad gives you the speed of modern AI code generation with the security and control of local execution.
When teams consider Dyad, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Rapid Prototype Development
Generate functional React applications in minutes while keeping proprietary ideas completely private on your local machine.
Cost-Optimized AI Development
Use your existing OpenAI or Anthropic credits without paying additional platform fees or subscriptions.
Offline-First Workflows
Build applications using local Ollama models when working without internet connectivity or in restricted environments.
Multi-Provider Experimentation
Test different LLM providers (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) to find the best model for your specific use case.
You need internet to use cloud AI providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, but can work fully offline with local models via Ollama.
Dyad supports OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and local models through Ollama integration.
Yes, Dyad is free and open-source under Apache 2.0. You only pay for the AI API usage from your chosen provider.
Currently Dyad supports Mac and Windows. Linux support may be added based on community contributions and demand.
Dyad offers similar AI app generation capabilities but runs locally for privacy, uses your own API keys, and has no subscription fees or vendor lock-in.
