Free, local, open-source alternative to Lovable / v0 / Bolt
Dyad is a free, local, open-source vibe coding tool. It's an alternative to v0, Lovable, and Bolt, but without the lock-in or limitations - you can use any AI model (including free Gemini & OpenRouter ones)! Download it for free: runs on Windows and Mac
Dyad Pro and Max tiers provide exclusive modes for large codebases, with 200-900 AI credits per month and prioritized office hours access. App blueprints help clarify structure before implementation, making large projects easier to manage.
Dyad supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for custom integrations, works with any JavaScript framework, and allows users to bring their own tools. This enables building specialized AI workflows without being limited to pre-built connectors.
Dyad enables users to build complete web apps locally using any AI model (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local models) with full code ownership. Users can export anytime, switch tools freely, and maintain zero lock-in because the app runs on their machine and code stays theirs.
Free Dyad runs entirely locally; prompts and code never pass through Dyad servers when using personal API keys or local models. Dyad Pro proxies through servers only for hosted models, with strict logging limits and explicit no-training guarantees.
Dyad streamlines deployment to GitHub and Vercel in a few clicks, or supports bring-your-own-cloud options. Built-in security reviews scan for SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities before deployment, reducing manual security work.
