Quietly log today's bowl of tea. CHALOG is a calm tasting journal for matcha and Japanese tea. Capture how each cup tasted — in a photo and a few words — and let your own preferences take shape over time. Turn "that was good" into something you can actually remember. Record umami, sweetness, bitterness, astringency and finish on a simple radar, and your next tea — and how to brew it — slowly becomes clearer. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Tasting notes: five flavors plus froth, aroma and an overall rating, shown on a radar - Quick record: save a bowl in seconds with tea, rating, photo and a note - Photos: crop to a clean square to capture your bowl and sweets beautifully - Brew guides & timer: whisk matcha, or steep sencha, gyokuro, hojicha and genmaicha — guided step by step, from prep to the last drop - Collection: organize teas by name, tea house and origin, with sorting and favorites - Stats: totals, streaks, a taste radar, origins and aroma trends to look back on - Year card: sum up your year of tea in one shareable image - Reminders: a gentle nudge to make time for a cup WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone who loves matcha or Japanese tea and wants to remember each cup - Beginners who want guided steps for brewing sencha or hojicha well - People discovering their favorite teas and origins over time - Anyone who enjoys a quiet habit kept with photos and notes PRIVACY & PEACE OF MIND CHALOG works fully offline. Everything is stored on your device, no account required. No data is sent to external servers, and no tracking is used. Your tea journal stays in your hands alone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: お茶ノート at none against CHALOG's 1. お茶ノート also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
