Dyad

What is Dyad?

Dyad is an open-source desktop application that generates web apps from natural language descriptions using AI models. It runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux, keeping project files on the user's machine. Users supply their own API keys for cloud models or run local models offline.

What are the features of Dyad?

• Local execution

  Runs on the user's machine, stores project files on disk, and operates offline when paired with local AI models.
• Model selection

  Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, and LM Studio, allowing users to switch providers or use offline models.
• Code export

  Outputs standard Next.js code that can be imported into existing repositories or edited externally in VS Code.
• Database integration

  Connects to Supabase or Neon to generate schemas, migrations, and authentication configurations.
• MCP extensibility

  Accepts Model Context Protocol servers such as Chrome DevTools, web search, or custom APIs.
• Security scanning

  Checks generated applications for SQL injection, OWASP misconfigurations, and authentication issues before deployment.

What are the use cases of Dyad?

• Offline development

  Build web applications without internet access by routing prompts through local models like Ollama.
• Rapid prototyping

  Describe ideas such as a recipe planner or CRM to generate a working Next.js application with database connections.
• External editing

  Export generated source code to edit manually in VS Code without platform restrictions.
