Hi Product Hunt! I'm Yann, founder of Lauyan Software.
We've been making TOWeb since 2005, a website builder you install on your own computer. With version 15 we rewrote everything from scratch: the app, and the engine that builds the sites. It's now a native app for Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.
Why a desktop builder in 2026?
Your site lives on your computer: you create, edit and preview offline, and keep your files.
No subscription: the Standard edition is free with no time limit, paid editions are a one-time purchase.
No lock-in: you publish by FTP or SFTP to the web host of your choice, and switch whenever you like.
"Why not just ask an AI to code my site?" You don't have to choose: in the Studio edition, your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini) drives TOWeb through MCP. The difference is what you end up with. AI-generated code is a snapshot you maintain prompt by prompt. A TOWeb site is structured data (pages, style, shop, bookings) that TOWeb turns into code at every publish: update TOWeb, republish, and every site gets the engine's accessibility, SEO and security improvements. And anyone can edit it right on the page. More here: https://www.lauyan.com/en/toweb-or-a-site-created-by-an-ai/
What's inside:
Write directly on the page, add blocks with "/", pick one of 50 complete styles (light and dark).
Online store (variants, stock, shipping zones, discount codes, EU VAT) in the e-Commerce and Studio editions, and bookings by slot or period.
Fast, search-ready sites: sitemap, structured data, hreflang, redirects.
An AI assistant for copy, pages and translation, running locally (Ollama) or in the cloud.
If you used TOWeb 5 to 14, your sites import directly, and old URLs are redirected so you keep your rankings.
Product Hunt special: code PRODUCTHUNT20 gives 20% off any paid edition until Sunday, November 15, 11:59 pm PT.
I'd love your honest feedback, especially from people who left SaaS builders: what would make you switch to a desktop app?
