About Matchabook - Matcha Journal
A gentle journal for the matcha you love. Matchabook is a journal for matcha lovers. From the day you open a tin, it records every gram, note and best-by date — and reminds you to "drink this one first". ■ A file for every tin Snap a photo, pick the label, and note the date acquired, net weight and opening date. A built-in catalog of 120+ meisho from 11 Japanese makers (Marukyu Koyamaen, Ippodo, Nakamura Tokichi and more), plus your own, organized by category and brand. Optionally share custom labels anonymously or download others' (off anytime). Record purchase and list prices in their own currencies, and duplicate a tin in a tap. ■ Log every bowl in one tap Usucha, koicha, matcha latte, or dessert — record the grams and brewing temperature (°C or °F) in a tap, and add photos and videos with a cover. See what's left and how long since opening, and filter My Shelf to available tins. ■ Whisk with a guided timer Pick a preset and follow a staged timer with immersive animation, live on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. Log it straight to a tin. ■ Rate every label Capture your taste with a star rating and repurchase intent, then go deeper with a five-axis radar: umami, sweetness, bitterness, aroma and texture. Rate each vintage year separately. ■ See everyone's matcha (some Pro) The most-enjoyed and highest-rated labels at a glance, with your rating and taste radar set against the community average. Community stats are anonymous, off by default and opt-in (rankings and comparison are Pro). ■ Keep a memory when a tin is done Finish a tin, write a farewell note, add a keepsake photo, and archive it to the Memories tab. ■ Every bowl counts Achievements tally your bowls, matcha used and streaks, celebrate milestones, and make shareable cards. ■ Calendar and shareable snapshots Switch Records to a calendar for each day's matcha and photos. Tap a record for a clean snapshot, zoom photos, and make a share card. ■ Recipes and cost per cup Save recipes you make often (milk, sugar, cocoa…) with a default amount. Each entry can pair recipes and tools, and Matchabook estimates the cost per cup from tin and recipe unit prices. Bought several bottles? Add them at once and use them side by side, each with a nickname, best-before date and remaining amount. Cost per cup is saved when you log it, so swapping bottles never changes it. ■ Never miss a date Matchabook works out the best-enjoyed window after opening and the best-before date while sealed, then reminds you on the days and time you choose. ■ Home Screen widgets Freshness Countdown shows the most urgent tin; Matcha Shelf lists tins — tap for details or to log usage; Matcha Memories resurfaces past photos. ■ A tool shelf for your chasen and chawan Catalog chasen, chawan, chashaku and more with a photo, maker or kiln, date and price. Record a chasen by its real name and mark pieces In Use, Collected, Damaged, Lost or Retired. Five tools free, unlimited with Pro. ■ Dark appearance · themes · CSV (Pro) Follow the system or lock light or dark. Seven themes, plus CSV export of your usage log — both Pro. ■ See your matcha year (Pro) Monthly totals and weekly trends are free; Pro adds a yearly review and top-matcha ranking. ■ Privacy first No sign-up or login. Your records live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud database — we can't reach it. Google Firebase collects anonymous crash diagnostics and aggregate usage info (nothing identifying, no ad tracking, never sold). Label sharing and community stats are opt-in and off by default, and never include photos or personal records. Available in English, 繁體中文, and 日本語. Matchabook Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited tins and tools, video, custom categories, all themes, CSV export, advanced stats, and community rankings.

What’s new
Version 1.11.0 · Updated October 16, 2026
A calmer way to whisk, and a clearer record of every bowl and bottle: ■ Whisk with a guided timer A staged timer with immersive animation. Follow along on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen, too. ■ Every bowl counts A new Achievements page tracks your bowls, matcha used, streaks and milestones — and lets you share a card when you unlock one. ■ Rate by vintage A label tastes different from year to year. Rate each vintage separately and see how your taste shifts. ■ Better recipe batches Add several bottles of the same item at once and use them side by side, with nicknames, best-before dates and remaining amounts. When logging a bowl, pick an unopened bottle and it switches to In Use once saved. Each cup's cost is saved the moment you log it, so swapping or finishing a bottle never changes it. Plus many interface refinements for smoother logging.
