Dyad is praised for its versatility and open-source nature, allowing users to create React or Next.js apps and connect directly to GitHub. Users appreciate its ability to integrate any AI model, including free options, and its regular updates that enhance functionality. Many find it superior to alternatives like Lovable and Bolt, as it operates locally and charges only for actual usage. Despite being in its early stages, Dyad's design and freedom for programmers and designers to express ideas make it a highly recommended tool.

After nearly nine years at Google, I left three months ago to build Dyad — a free, open-source vibe coding tool that runs locally and gives you the control that Lovable, v0, and Bolt don't. It’s been an amazing journey building in public, and I’m excited to finally launch it on Product Hunt!
Here's a few things that make Dyad special:
💻 Runs on your computer (Mac/Windows)
♾️ Free forever – no limits, no required subscription
🦋 No vendor lock-in – works frictionlessly with other AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code
