Hi HN -<p>I'm excited to share a free, local, open-source AI app builder that I created. You can see what it looks like and download it here: <a href="https://dyad.sh/" rel="nofollow">https://dyad.sh/</a><p>It's open-source and on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad">https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad</a><p>If you've used one of the popular AI app builders like v0, lovable and bolt, but want something more flexible and without the lock-in, I think you'll like dyad.<p>note: dyad isn't an IDE (and not another VS code fork :) and instead is focused on people, esp. non-coders, who want an all-in-one tool to build+preview web apps in a simple intuitive desktop UI.<p>Here's a few things that makes it different:<p>- Runs locally - Dyad runs entirely on your computer, making it fast and frictionless. Because your code lives locally, you can easily switch back and forth between Dyad and your IDE like Cursor, etc.<p>- Run local models - I've just added Ollama integration (<a href="https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/ai-models/local-models" rel="nofollow">https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/ai-models/local-models</a>), which lets you build with your favorite local LLMs.<p>- Free - Dyad is free and bring-your-own API key. This means you can use your free Gemini API key and get 25 free messages/day with Gemini Pro 2.5!<p>I’d love any feedback. Thanks!
