Every cup of coffee comes with its own little label. Jika turns those labels into a collection — one snap is a card, a hundred snaps become a story of your days. SNAP IT, KEEP IT • Take a photo of the cup label or import one from your library — Jika reads the number, drink, cup size, sweetness and time right on your device • Watch the photo dissolve into drifting particles as a digital card rises in its place and flies into your collection • Everything can be edited if the recognition misses a detail • Scanned the same label twice? Jika lets you know A COLLECTION IN THREE CHAPTERS • Chapter 1 · 10 slots — collect every last digit, 0 to 9 • Chapter 2 · 100 slots — collect every last two digits, 00 to 99 • Chapter 3 · 1,000 slots — collect them all, 000 to 999 Chapters unlock one after another, and each one ends with a badge. Repeated numbers stack in the same slot, and you can pick your favorite as the cover. The final slot of Chapter 3 is a little different. You'll see when you get there. CARDS THAT FEEL LIKE YOURS • Classic and refined card layouts, nine color themes • Choose what each card shows, or set one name for every card • Add a mood and a short note to any cup SEE YOUR COFFEE HABITS • Your usual coffee hour, cups this month and daily streak • Favorite drinks, iced vs. hot, cup sizes and sweetness • Bean origins, flavor notes, lucky numbers and an estimate of when you'll finish a chapter WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS • Home Screen widgets for progress, all three chapters, this month and your stats • A Lock Screen widget to check progress at a glance • Long-press the app icon to jump straight to camera, photo library or manual entry YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Text recognition happens on your iPhone — photos never leave your device • No account, no ads, no tracking • Your collection lives in your own iCloud and syncs across your devices Light and dark mode.
