bolt.diy

What it does

A community-run, open-source fork of StackBlitz's Bolt.new: an AI workspace where you prompt, run, edit and deploy full-stack web apps in the browser. You choose the LLM for each prompt from 22+ providers, including local models through Ollama or LM Studio. The README says it is now in maintenance mode (bug fixes and dependency updates, no new features planned). MIT licensed; the WebContainers API it uses has separate commercial terms for enterprise use.

Who it's for

Vibe coders who want a Bolt-style app builder they run themselves, with their own API keys or local models.

How to set it up

   pnpm install

2. Start it and open http://localhost:5173:
