Overview

Dyad builds web apps from prompts on your desktop. It is for builders who want to create full-stack apps without coding, while keeping their code and project files under their control.

It runs locally, supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, and works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, LM Studio, and other models. You can export clean code, import existing repos, connect Supabase or Neon for database and auth, and deploy to GitHub or Vercel.

Dyad also supports MCP extensibility, built-in security checks, and offline work with local models. The codebase is open source, and the tool is positioned as a desktop app with no vendor lock-in.
