A social app for real people, and real thoughts. Create fun lists, easily share recommendations or manifestations, follow people similar to you and dump every unhinged thought on Ditto. No niches, no curated aesthetics or edits — just a place to be yourself. CREATE & CONNECT Ditto was born out of a crashout. From red flags in dating, birthday bucket lists, extreme college hacks, and the hottest people on campus, nothing is off limits. All in the form of lists. Don’t know what lists to make? Our community votes on Hot Topics each week, from Love Island debriefs, to travel diaries or monthly recaps – sometimes it’s just fun to see what others are talking about. DISCOVER BETTER Your experience is someone else’s inspiration. Find real people in your city, on campus, or across the country who share your interests and POVs. Planning a trip to Tokyo? Someone's mapped out the perfect ramen tour. Need workout motivation? Save routines from people who've been there. Get genuinely good recs (instead of internet slop). IT’S NOT THAT DEEP Unless you want it to be. Every girl knows it’s a jumpscare to scroll through your notes app. What are we going to find? A middle school crash out? Grandma’s recipe? Where the hottest men run in NYC? Things that got you through hard times? We’re here for it all. YOU’RE ALREADY DOING IT Your notes app shouldn’t know you better than your best friend or your boyfriend. Share publicly, follow friends, find people you relate to, and connect your online and offline worlds. Like instead of raging in your notes app about what you wish your man did for you, you can post it publicly for him to see or someone to send him. If not that, at least you could help another couple out. – Join a social network of 50,000+ ex-notes app lovers now (over)sharing on Ditto.

Melange is where creative people find their next collaboration. A photographer needs a model. A model needs a stylist. A filmmaker needs a whole crew. On Melange you find people whose work fits yours, see who's into what you make, and make something together. DISCOVER Swipe through creatives and projects near you: photographers, models, makeup artists, stylists, hair, videographers, directors, musicians and more. Melange learns your taste from the work you make and like. HEARTS Heart someone's work and they find out it was you. When someone hearts yours, you can write back right away. EVENTS Photo walks, shoot nights, open calls. Everyone going shares a chat before, and afterwards the photos are private to the people who were there. You can quietly heart anyone you met; they only find out if they hearted you too. CREDITS Post what you made and credit everyone on it. It shows on your profile, and on theirs.
