Sip is a little journal for the drinks you love. Log every coffee and matcha — snap a photo, rate it, and note the café, the milk, the details worth remembering. Over time you build a personal record of everything you've tasted, and a map of the places you've been. But Sip is better with friends. Your feed is private — just the people you add — so you can see what your friends are drinking, sip the ones you'd order, and swap comments. No strangers, no algorithm, no noise. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - Log in seconds — coffee or matcha, at a café or made at home - Rate with coffee beans (or a matcha whisk) and remember what you loved - Add a photo and the café, and keep it all in one clean journal - A private, friends-only feed — sip and comment on what your friends drink - Explore the cafés your friends love, and open any of them in Maps - See your own map of every spot you've logged - Get notified when friends sip or comment on your posts PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your precise location never leaves your device. Only the café name and city you choose to attach to a post are shared with your friends — never your exact coordinates. Whether you're a daily-cold-brew person, a weekend pour-over nerd, or a matcha devotee, Sip helps you remember every cup and share the ride with the people who get it. Download Sip and start your journal today.

Matcha is a little collection of the drinks we actually make at home, turned into simple recipes anyone can follow. Pick a drink and Matcha walks you through it one step at a time: what you need, how much, and exactly what to do, iced or hot. No barista experience required. RECIPES - Matcha latte, the classic base - Brown sugar matcha, sweet and balanced - Honey lavender matcha, floral and mellow - Strawberry cream matcha, the viral layered one More on the way, and you get a say in what comes next. STEP-BY-STEP, NOT GUESSWORK Every recipe is a clear walkthrough with measurements and optional how-to videos, so your matcha comes out smooth and cafe-good every time. VOTE ON WHAT WE BUILD NEXT Matcha has a community board where anyone can post a feature idea or a bug, and everyone votes. The top request is what we build next, so the app grows with the people who use it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Browsing recipes collects nothing at all. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a post you choose to make on the vote board. MADE WITH LOVE We are Kerryn and Luke, a couple who make a lot of matcha at home. This is our little recipe book, shared with you.
