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

Congratulations on the launch! It’s inspiring to see a free, open-source, and local coding tool that puts users in control
Dyad
@hi_caicai thank you🙏 that's exactly what we're aiming for
Congrats on the launch @wwwillchen does dyad keep the memory of every conversation?
Dyad
@sathish_thiyagarajan27 there isn't a memory feature right now, but it's a good idea!
Dyad uses the current chat as context (and you can configure how many messages, e.g. a few messages or all the messages, are used from the current chat to optimize your tokens).
@wwwillchen Thank you for your response, Most of the except GPT doesn't offer that feature and it is difficult to keep track on certain things and also if you have time try launching in go-publicly.com no compulsion at all. Maybe you can visit and share your feedback.
This is awesome! Could I connect an existing VS code workspace (that I built on Lovable) with Dyad to make iterative changes on an existing app?
Dyad
@jacobseeger yes! Dyad works well with all of your existing IDE / coding tools like VS Code.
way better than lovable and bolt

It is convenient by working seamlessly with AI models like Gemini & Claude, and running on both Mac and Windows. Makes using it so easy and smooth.
