Dyad

Introducing Dyad: Free • Local • Open-Source • No-Code 🚀

Dyad redefines AI-powered development — not as a cloud service, but as your private, portable, and fully controllable app-building companion. Built from the ground up for autonomy, Dyad lets you design, prototype, and ship full-stack applications by conversing naturally with AI — no syntax, no dependencies, no compromises. Unlike closed SaaS builders, Dyad runs entirely on your machine (Windows or macOS), keeps all code and data local, and embraces open standards: it’s MIT-licensed, community-driven, and engineered to integrate seamlessly with tools you already trust — from VS Code and Cursor to Supabase and Ollama. Choose any LLM — free-tier Gemini, open models via OpenRouter, or your own fine-tuned local instance — using your own API keys. And for those who want deeper acceleration, Dyad Pro unlocks intelligent coding enhancements, priority support, and exclusive learning pathways — all while keeping the core experience forever free and open.

Getting Started in Seconds — Not Hours

There’s no account, no trial wall, no telemetry. Download Dyad for macOS or Windows, launch it, and begin building — literally by typing what you envision: “A dashboard that tracks crypto prices and sends alerts” or “A multiplayer tic-tac-toe game with real-time sync.” Dyad interprets your intent, generates clean, production-ready frontend + backend code, and deploys it locally with one click. The built-in quickstart wizard guides first-time users through Supabase setup (for auth, database, and edge functions) and model configuration — whether connecting to Claude via Anthropic, GPT via OpenAI, or whisper-quantized models via Ollama. Every line of code stays on your device, editable in your favorite IDE, version-controlled in Git, and ready for real-world deployment.
