CUPTA turns every drink into a small keepsake. Not sure what to drink? Let CUPTA's gacha picker choose from drinks you have collected or from Weekly Picks. When you find a cup you like, take a photo. CUPTA creates a cut-out drink sticker and saves the moment in your personal drink journal. SNAP A DRINK, COLLECT A STICKER Take a photo or choose one from Photos, then confirm the brand, drink type, temperature, sweetness, and your own notes. Photo cut-out and drink records are processed on your device. DRINK CALENDAR Each drink appears as a sticker on the day you had it. Multiple cups stay together in the same calendar cell, making your month easy to look back on. DAILY MOOD Every drink receives a CUPTA mood card that you can view, save, and share. WEEKLY CUP CARDS CUPTA turns your weekly drink pattern into a collectible card every Monday. Build the core collection and look out for hidden cards. CUPTA STICKER JOURNAL Arrange your drink stickers, CUPTA character stickers, text, and canvases. Drag, rotate, resize, delete, or use one-tap layouts to make a personal drink collage. DRINK INSIGHTS AND CUPTA PROMISES Review your drinks by week, month, or year. You can also set simple personal reminders for iced drinks, sweet drinks, or coffee. These are lifestyle reminders and are not medical advice. MEMBERSHIP Your own drink stickers remain available without membership. CUPTA Membership unlocks the full CUPTA character sticker library, official drink illustrations, additional canvases, and CUPTA Promises.

PRIVACY CUPTA has no user account, advertising, or third-party analytics. Personal photos and drink records remain on your device.
