Lovable, v0, Bolt, and Replit Agent each charge for the same core loop: prompt → code → preview. Dyad runs that loop on your laptop with any model you bring — Gemini (free tier), OpenRouter, Ollama, or anything else. Your source code lives on disk. You own it completely.
Step 1: Install Dyad
Head to github.com/dyad-sh/dyad and follow the install instructions for your OS. Dyad ships as a desktop app — download, open, done. No Docker, no CLI wizardry required.
Step 2: Connect a Free Model Key
On first launch, Dyad asks for a model provider. The fastest zero-cost path: grab a free Gemini API key from aistudio.google.com, paste it in, and select a Gemini model. Prefer local/private? Point it at Ollama instead. No key is stored on any external server — it stays in your local config.
