Dia for Windows gets closer as Browser Company hires Slack Windows app veteran

People who’ve been wanting to use The Browser Company’s Dia browser on Windows for a long time are going to be excited to hear that the company has hired a veteran developer from Slack’s Windows app.

Miller posted the update on X and said the company had made a few big hires. One of them worked on Slack’s Windows app. He tied that hire directly to Dia, writing that Dia for Windows is coming soon.

That is probably the part Windows users care about most. The company has talked around the idea before, but this is the first time it feels a lot more concrete.

Miller also said The Browser Company has hired the designer of SoundCloud’s original iOS app and founder of Moving Parts, along with an AI security engineer who specializes in agentic security. Those hires matter on their own, but the Slack Windows app veteran is the part that stands out most right now because Miller tied it directly to Dia’s Windows plans.

I’ve used Dia on Mac myself for months, and that’s part of why this stood out to me. The browser already feels like a product that makes more sense once it’s available on more than one desktop platform, especially if The Browser Company wants it to be taken seriously beyond early adopters and Mac-heavy users.

Still, the hire for an iOS designer is also something that can’t be ignored. The Browser Company shipped its last update for Arc Search on iOS roughly four months ago.

That suggests they’ve already given up on the project and we might see a new app for Dia on iOS. But it’s still to early to tell if the app will functional like an AI-powered search engine or if it’ll be a standalone browser.

Dia for Windows still does not have a launch date in that post, but Miller’s wording leaves little doubt that it is getting close.
