Why it matters

Useful for AI agent developers, AI coding agent users, Lovable / v0 / Bolt users looking for a local alternative, AI app builders, AI-curious readers tracking the local-AI space, engineering teams wiring AI app builders to their workflows, and any developer wiring a local, open-source AI app builder to their development environment -- and who can pair dyad-sh/dyad with the Mac/Windows download fro

About this signal

dyad-sh/dyad is tracked by RepoRadar as a apache-2.0 (with fsl-1.1-alv2 ca in the Dyad: Local Open-Source AI App Builder (Lovable section. It was first seen on 2026-07-08 and last updated on 2026-07-08. The current verdict is 'try now' with a Gold tier and easy setup difficulty. Across RepoRadar's eight signals, dyad-sh/dyad is strongest on workflow potential (9.7) and practical usefulness (9.0) and weakest on maturity (6.7) — a profile worth weighing against your own priorities. This page summarizes the evidence RepoRadar has captured from captured source metadata. The score, tier, risk label, and verdict on this page are never influenced by sponsorship, ads, or tips — they reflect only the usefulness, popularity, novelty, momentum, maturity, and evidence signals described in the RepoRadar methodology.

How this item is evaluated

RepoRadar assigned dyad-sh/dyad a composite score of 8.6 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 1.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'conditional' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation

The 20856* / 2501-fork / 110-subscriber / 40314KB repo is at active maintenance (pushed 2026-07-08) but the FSL-1.1-ALv2 license on the src/pro/ subdirectory is a source-available license with a 'Competing Use' clause (the consumer SHOULD review the FSL terms before adopting the Pro tier in a commercial product; FSL-1.1-ALv2 is NOT OSI-approved; FSL converts to Apache 2.0 after 2 years; the src/pro/ subdirectory contains the ipc/ + prompts/ + utils/ Pro tier paths and is NOT the headline surface for a typical user).
