Who We Are
Website: https://dailydive.ca/
App: Daily Dive, available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Developer: Dodobits LLP.
Description: Daily Dive is a news and media discovery app designed to deliver bite-sized, easily digestible updates in a fast-moving world. We combine 60-word news summaries with trending content from social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and YouTube Shorts — giving users a curated feed that’s smart, relevant, and scroll-friendly. The idea for the app was sparked in Canada, when one of our co-founders recognized the need for a smarter, more relevant news experience — one that reflects how modern users consume content.
Our goal is to provide a simple, secure, and valuable way to stay informed without compromising your personal data.
