Lyre

Questions from the bench

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You can start with a plain-language description and ask a coding assistant to help you build. You can begin with one small feature, review its proposed changes, and test the result. The guides explain the setup and you stay in control of what runs on your computer.

Can I use Lyre without a Lyre account?

Yes for local work. You can open projects and use supported local models or your own provider keys on the computer. Pairing a device and connecting over your own network also does not require a Lyre cloud account. Cloud features, relay access, hosted services and app-store purchases have their own account requirements.

Does using Lyre send my project through your servers?

Not for local work or direct LAN connections. Your project stays on the host computer. Away from your network, an end-to-end encrypted relay carries the session without hosting your project. A cloud AI provider you choose still receives the prompts and relevant project context it needs under its own terms.

Do I need Pro to work remotely?

No. Remote connections, code editing, agent conversations, project startup, and remote live app previews are included on Free. Remote previews use your account's application relay allowance. Free also includes five minutes of cloud transcription per day. Pro removes the Free viewing time limit and adds more capacity, more cloud transcription, and hosted video fallback.

Can I bring a website or an existing project?

Yes. Lyre works with supported websites, web apps, and browser-based tools, including React, Vite, Next.js, Expo-web, and Capacitor web projects. Open an existing project folder and keep working with its files.
