Pros and cons

Dia

Pros

  • Frequent releases: Mac v1.52.0 and v1.53.0 shipped in October 2026.
  • Separate profiles keep work and personal tabs and AI context apart.
  • Dia for Work provides SAML SSO, MDM policies and a SOC 2 Type II examination.

Cons

  • Desktop only; no publicly released iOS or Android app.
  • Windows version is new (v1.0 on October 6, 2026) and trails the Mac version.
  • Free-tier AI usage limits are not published, and the site has no public pricing page.
