dyad

Overview
Dyad is designed for people who want to build apps quickly while keeping full control over their code and data. You use it on Mac or Windows, bring your own AI API keys or models, and work locally with no sign-up required. It is positioned as an alternative to cloud-based app builders, with a focus on privacy, speed, and zero lock-in.

Key Features

• Build web apps with natural language instead of manual coding.
• Run everything locally for privacy and no vendor lock-in.
• Use your own AI model keys or connect different models as needed.
• Get AI agent support that can debug errors and handle larger codebases.

Use Cases

• Create simple or full-stack web apps without a traditional dev workflow.
• Prototype ideas privately on your own machine before deploying.
• Help developers and founders build faster with AI-assisted debugging and model choice.
