Dyad is a local, open-source AI app builder. It's fast, private, and fully under your control — like Lovable, v0, or Bolt, but running right on your machine.

• ⚡️ Local: Fast, private and no lock-in.
• 🛠 Bring your own keys: Use your own AI API keys — no vendor lock-in.
• 🖥️ Cross-platform: Easy to run on Mac or Windows.

• Node.js >= 20
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• Git

You can verify your versions:

node -v npm -v

git clone https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad.git cd dyad npm install

• Start the app with the default configuration:

npm start

• Optionally, point the app to a locally running engine (on http://localhost:8080/v1):

npm run dev:engine

• DYAD_ENGINE_URL: URL of the Dyad engine (defaults to built-in configuration).
• DYAD_GATEWAY_URL: URL of a compatible gateway if you prefer to route requests.

Example:

DYAD_ENGINE_URL=http://localhost:8080/v1 npm start

Create platform-specific distributables:

npm run make

Outputs are written to the out/ directory.

# Unit tests npm test# Lint npm run lint # Prettier check npm run prettier:check
