Who is Dyad best for?

Dyad is best for makers who want to build web apps from prompts on their own computer with their own AI keys.

  • Building without a hosted platform

    Apps are built and run on your computer, and the code stays on your disk with nothing to export.

  • Choosing the model

    It works with OpenAI, Anthropic, local models through Ollama or LM Studio, and custom models you add.

  • Full-stack prototypes

    Supabase or Neon connect in one click for the database and sign-in, and a security scan checks for issues such as SQL injection.

  • Shipping the result

    Projects push to GitHub and deploy to Vercel, or to any other cloud you choose.

How much does Dyad cost?

Dyad is a free, open source desktop app when you bring your own AI keys; Dyad Pro costs $20 a month with 200 AI credits, and Dyad Max $79 a month with 900.
