Dyad

Dyad is a local, open-source AI app builder for product managers, designers, and developers who want to prototype and ship full-stack apps from conversational prompts without cloud lock-in.

Key capabilities include:

• Full-stack generation: creates React components, API endpoints, database schemas, and styling, with a live preview for iterative edits.
• Model flexibility: works with major hosted providers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google) and supports local models via Ollama, with bring-your-own API keys.
• Agent support and scale tools: includes a Basic Agent mode with context gathering and debugging, plus Pro features like advanced code search, faster file edits, and Dyad Academy.
• Build and deploy workflow: supports Supabase integrations for database, auth, and server functions, plus publishing to GitHub and Vercel.

Pricing: Freemium. Free tier ($0) with local builder and Basic Agent limits; Pro is $20/month (200 AI credits/month); Max is $79/month (900 AI credits/month).

Notable for running locally on macOS and Windows, allowing code export and IDE compatibility, and enabling users to switch AI providers without vendor lock-in.
