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?"
