dyad

What it does

Describe the app you want and Dyad builds it - the same idea as Lovable, v0 or Bolt, except it runs on your own machine with your own API keys, so there is no vendor lock-in and no sign-up. Downloads are available for Mac and Windows. You pay the model provider directly, and note that part of the codebase (the pro directory) is not open-source. Always review what it generates before relying on it.

dyad FAQ

Is dyad free?

dyad itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use dyad?

You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.

Does dyad work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use dyad commercially?

The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
