Company
Ditto
Manage the words across your team's product.
We built Ditto to help design, product, and engineering teams manage the language in their product - from early mockups through to production. It solves the problem of text scattered across design files, spreadsheets, and code, making it hard to review, update, and localize consistently. Ditto acts as a single source of truth for UI copy and supporting text, streamlining collaboration across teams and ensuring the right words ship every time.
Jessica and Jo are based in San Francisco, and the company is both San Francisco-based and remote.
We live in San Francisco where our network and most early users are, plus it's a hub for design and engineering teams who need our product. We also support remote work since our users and team operate across locations.
