Daedalus is a desktop AI studio that researches what to build, then generates a real full-stack web app — database, accounts, a real interface — and exports it to mobile.
For indie makers and teams who want to ship, not scaffold.
What Daedalus does
Not a code snippet — the whole arc: know what to build, build it for real, put it on every screen, and stay ahead of the competition.
Don't guess what to build. Daedalus scans where products launch and get talked about — Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit — sizes up the competitors and their pricing, and hands you a validated brief. Before you write a line.
From a to-do list to a multi-feature SaaS: a real full-stack app with a database, user accounts and a genuine interface — not a mock-up. It plans, writes the code, runs the app, and fixes its own errors.
Your web app becomes a real mobile app — install it straight from the browser as a PWA, or export a native Android and iOS project, push notifications included. Same build, no rewrite.
See what competitors ship — pricing changes, new releases, new entrants — on demand, grounded in real sources. (Scheduled watches + weekly digests coming soon.)
Most builders start by guessing. Daedalus starts by looking — it scans where products launch and get discussed (Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit), reads every competitor’s pricing and features, and finds the gap you can win. You get a source-cited brief before a single line of code.
From the spec, Daedalus generates a genuine full-stack app — a database, accounts, an API, and a real interface — then runs it and fixes its own errors until it works. Simple CRUD or a multi-feature SaaS, it’s your codebase, not a black box.
The same app you built for the web becomes a real mobile app — no rewrite. Install it from the browser as a PWA, or export a native Android and iOS project you open in Android Studio or Xcode, with push notifications wired in.
After you’ve researched a market, keep watching it. On demand, Daedalus re-checks your competitors and tells you what changed — a price cut, a new release, a new entrant — grounded in real sources, tied to the project you’re building.
How it works
You stay in the loop at every stage — read the brief, nudge the plan, review the build.
Market, competitors, demand — a grounded brief.
The brief becomes a concrete, buildable spec.
A running full-stack app, feature by feature.
Deploy to the web + export to mobile.
Your models, your call
Daedalus is bring-your-own-keys, so what it costs to run is your decision — not a subscription we set. The same app works across all three.
Point Daedalus at a provider's free tier — like OpenRouter's free models — and build without spending anything. Enough to research, plan, and ship a first app.
Low-cost providers like DeepSeek cost a fraction of the frontier models. Daedalus never takes a cut.
Run local models on your own computer and your ideas, prompts and code never leave your desk. No third party ever sees the app you are building.
Swap providers whenever you like — research on a cheap model, build on a stronger one, or use your existing Claude Code / OpenAI Codex subscription, and keep anything sensitive local. Local models are included in every plan.
