Love coffee? Sleep great anyway. Matcha is the caffeine tracker that tells you when to stop. Log your coffee, matcha, tea or energy drink in a tap, and Matcha shows your personal coffee cutoff: the last time you can have caffeine and still be low on it by bedtime. Most caffeine apps just count milligrams. Matcha answers the questions that matter: "Can I have another coffee?" and "Will this hurt my sleep tonight?" YOUR LIVE COFFEE CUTOFF • "Coffee is OK until 3:10 PM": a live countdown to your last cup • Done for the day? See when you're "Sleep-ready at 10:50 PM" • Tonight's forecast: Great, Good, Restless or Rough sleep ahead • A friendly reminder 30 minutes before your cutoff ALWAYS IN VIEW • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your cutoff and which drinks still fit tonight, in StandBy too • Live Activity: a countdown to your cutoff on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri & Shortcuts: "Log a coffee in Matcha" or "When can I have coffee in Matcha?" WHAT CAN I DRINK? • One-tap tiles for your usual drinks: "OK until 4:15 PM" or "Not today" • One tap logs it, with Undo WILL IT HURT MY SLEEP? (PRO) • Preview any drink, any size, at any time, before you drink it • See how it shifts your night: "Sleep-ready moves to 10:35 PM" YOUR SLEEP, UNDERSTOOD • A 7-night chart of the caffeine left at bedtime • Every drink syncs to Apple Health, free • Pro: weekly sleep score and tips like "You sleep 46 min longer when your last coffee is before 2 PM" • Pro: compare good and bad nights with Apple Health sleep data ABOUT 400 DRINKS • Everyday drinks in S/M/L, from espresso and cold brew to matcha, cola and herbal tea • Drinks from 28 coffee, tea and energy brands, plus custom drinks (Pro) BUILT AROUND YOU • Quick setup: pick your drinks, bedtime and sensitivity, add what you've had today, and get your cutoff • Bedtime caffeine target and optional weight-based half-life • Log drinks up to 7 days back and build on-target streaks • Apple Watch app: log drinks and check your status from your wrist FREE, FOREVER Unlimited logging, live coffee cutoff, What can I drink?, cutoff reminders, widgets and Live Activity, Siri & Shortcuts, Apple Health caffeine sync, the 7-night chart, 7-day history and the Apple Watch app. MATCHA PRO • Will it hurt my sleep? previews • Weekly sleep score, personal tips and Apple Health sleep comparison • Reminders that adapt to what you actually drank today • Unlimited history and a weekly report • 5 themes and custom drinks Matcha gives personalized estimates, not medical advice. — Matcha Pro monthly and yearly plans are auto-renewable subscriptions.
