What is Ditto?
Ditto is the only mobile database that comes with built-in edge connectivity and offline resilience, allowing apps to sync data without depending on servers or continuous access to the cloud. As billions of mobile and edge devices—and the deskless workers using them—form the backbone of modern operations, organizations are running into the constraints of conventional cloud-first systems. Used by leaders like Chick-fil-A, Delta, Lufthansa, and Japan Airlines, Ditto is at the forefront of the edge-native movement, reshaping how businesses operate, sync, and stay connected beyond the cloud. By removing the need for external hardware, Ditto’s software-based networking lets companies develop faster, more fault-tolerant applications that perform even in disconnected environments—no cloud, server, or Wi-Fi required.
Leveraging CRDTs and peer-to-peer mesh replication, Ditto allows developers to build robust, collaborative applications where data remains consistent and available to all users—even during complete offline scenarios. This ensures business-critical systems remain functional exactly when they’re needed most.
Ditto follows an edge-native design philosophy. Unlike cloud-centric approaches, edge-native systems are optimized to run directly on mobile and edge devices. With Ditto, devices automatically discover and talk to each other, forming dynamic mesh networks instead of routing data through the cloud. The platform seamlessly handles complex connectivity across online and offline modes—Bluetooth, P2P Wi-Fi, LAN, Cellular, and more—to detect nearby devices and sync updates in real time.

Ditto Categories and Features
Offline-First Databases
Ditto is a mobile database designed for offline use, ensuring that data remains accessible locally and synchronized across different devices, even in environments without internet connectivity. At its foundation, Ditto utilizes Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) to automatically handle data conflicts, providing strong eventual consistency without the need for developers to implement custom merging solutions. However, Ditto goes beyond the capabilities of typical offline-first databases. It facilitates seamless synchronization for offline-first applications, even when devices are entirely disconnected. Unique to Ditto is its integrated peer-to-peer and mesh networking capabilities, which enable devices to sync directly with each other without relying on cloud services or server infrastructure. When there is no network connection, Ditto-enabled devices can locate and sync with nearby peers through Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or cellular connections, ensuring that real-time updates are possible, even in challenging environments.
Integration Software
Ditto is a mobile database designed to operate primarily offline, allowing it to fit effortlessly into your existing applications. It provides consistent access to data, peer-to-peer synchronization, and resilience in environments with limited connectivity. With Ditto, you can enhance your current mobile infrastructure by adding modern offline functionalities. This solution eliminates the dependency on continuous cloud connectivity or unreliable network links, enabling your application to operate effectively even when completely offline. The integrated synchronization mechanism utilizes peer-to-peer and mesh networking, ensuring devices remain updated without the need for a central server. Whether users are traveling, in basements, flying, or simply out of Wi-Fi reach, Ditto guarantees that their data remains current and is shared instantly with nearby devices. Synchronization occurs automatically via Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, local area network, or cellular connections, depending on what is available. There’s no need to develop custom synchronization processes or handle conflict resolutions—Ditto takes care of everything for you.
Embedded Database System
Ditto is an innovative embedded database tailored for mobile and edge devices, offering much more than typical local storage solutions. Unlike conventional embedded databases that function in a standalone manner, Ditto features integrated peer-to-peer synchronization and edge-aware connectivity, allowing devices to exchange data seamlessly without depending on a central server or a continuous internet connection. At the heart of Ditto lies a CRDT-based (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type) engine, which ensures robust eventual consistency among distributed nodes, even in scenarios where devices are offline, partitioned, or primarily mobile. This empowers developers to create resilient and collaborative applications, where data remains accessible locally while being automatically synchronized across devices as soon as connections are reestablished. Ditto simplifies connectivity challenges with its dynamic and channel-agnostic discovery process. Devices utilizing Ditto can establish temporary mesh networks through Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, cellular networks, or any combination thereof, enabling real-time data synchronization of changes.

Mobile App Databases
Ditto is an advanced mobile database specifically designed to address the changing needs of contemporary mobile applications. It operates entirely on the device, enabling quick, local access to data while maintaining consistency across different users and devices, even in challenging conditions or when completely offline. Unlike standard mobile databases that focus solely on local storage, Ditto features integrated peer-to-peer synchronization and conflict resolution through CRDTs (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types). This ensures that the data within your app remains consistent without requiring custom merging strategies or server-based conflict handling. Devices can effortlessly find and synchronize with one another via Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or internet connections—eliminating the need for a central server or a constant cloud setup. This capability allows your applications to exchange data in real-time, even in situations where offline or limited infrastructure is a factor.
