Audience
For organizations that need a resilient, offline solution for edge-based systems
About Ditto
Ditto is the only mobile database with built-in edge device connectivity and resiliency, enabling apps to synchronize without relying on a central server or constant cloud connectivity. Through the use of CRDTs and P2P mesh replication, Ditto's technology enables you to build collaborative, resilient applications where data is always available and up-to-date for every user, and can even be synced in completely offline situations. This allows you to keep mission-critical systems online when it matters most.
Devices running Ditto apps can discover and communicate with each other directly, forming an ad-hoc mesh network rather than routing everything through a cloud server. The platform automatically handles the complexity of discovery and connectivity using both online and offline channels – Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, local LAN, WiFi, Cellular – to find nearby devices and sync data changes in real-time.

Ditto Product Features
Embedded Database
Ditto is an embedded database designed for mobile and edge devices that goes far beyond local storage. Unlike traditional embedded databases that operate in isolation, Ditto comes with built-in peer-to-peer sync and edge-aware connectivity, enabling devices to synchronize data without relying on a central server or constant internet access. At the core of Ditto is a CRDT-based (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type) engine that guarantees strong eventual consistency across distributed nodes—even in fully offline, partitioned, or mobile-first environments. This allows developers to build highly resilient and collaborative applications where data is always local, yet automatically synchronized across devices when connections become available. Ditto abstracts the complexity of connectivity with dynamic, channel-agnostic discovery. Devices running Ditto form ad-hoc mesh networks using Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, cellular, or any combination syncing data changes in real-time.
Integration
Ditto is an offline-first mobile database designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing apps—bringing always-available data, peer-to-peer sync, and edge resiliency to even the most connectivity-challenged environments. With Ditto, you can retrofit your current mobile stack with modern offline capabilities. Instead of relying on constant cloud access or fragile network connections, Ditto enables your app to function reliably in fully offline conditions. Its built-in synchronization engine uses peer-to-peer and mesh networking to keep devices in sync—no central server required. Whether your users are on the move, underground, airborne, or simply outside Wi-Fi range, Ditto ensures their data is always up-to-date and shared in real time with nearby devices. Sync happens automatically over Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or cellular—whichever connection is available. You don’t need to write custom sync logic or manage conflict resolution: Ditto handles it all for you.
Offline-First Databases
Ditto is an offline-first mobile database that ensures data is always available locally and stays consistent across devices—even in completely disconnected environments. At its core, Ditto uses Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) to automatically resolve conflicts and guarantee strong eventual consistency, without requiring developers to write custom merge logic. But Ditto doesn’t stop where most offline-first databases do. We go further by making offline-first apps to synchronize even when completely offline. Ditto is the only offline-first database that includes built-in peer-to-peer and mesh networking, allowing devices to sync directly with one another without any cloud or server infrastructure. When a network connection is unavailable, Ditto-enabled devices can discover and sync with nearby peers using Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or cellular—ensuring real-time updates, even in edge environments.

Mobile App Databases
Ditto is a high-performance mobile database built to meet the evolving demands of modern mobile applications. It runs entirely on-device, providing fast, local data access while ensuring data consistency across users and devices, even when your app operates in challenging or completely offline network conditions. Unlike typical mobile databases that stop at local storage, Ditto includes built-in peer-to-peer sync and conflict resolution powered by CRDTs (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types). This means your app’s data remains consistent without needing custom merge logic or server-side conflict resolution. Devices can automatically discover and sync with each other using Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or internet connectivity—without needing a central server or always-on cloud infrastructure. This allows your apps to share data in real-time, even in fully offline or infrastructure-constrained environments.
