Dyad

Free, local, open-source AI app builder with no vendor lock-in

Dyad is a locally-run, open-source AI app builder that lets developers and non-coders generate full-stack applications through natural language chat, running entirely on their own machine. It supports any AI model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter) and integrates with Supabase for backend scaffolding. It serves as a self-hosted alternative to cloud-based tools like v0, Lovable, and Bolt, with no usage limits or platform lock-in.
