Why we are building a new app

We felt that the old app could not bring you the great user experience we think you deserve. We wanted to make Dilato this amazing app we had in our mind, and that was not possible with the old app.

Why you may switch to the new Dilato ✨

  • You can use the new Dilato on both Mac and Windows, with the same experience.
  • All new features will be available only in the new Dilato. The old app is not updated anymore.

Can I keep on using the old app?

Yes! If you change your mind or feel like you are not ready yet for the big change, keep on using the old app. We plan to continue supporting the old app for a few more months.
