About Gotcha Matcha

Gotcha Matcha is listed on the App Store under the name Viary, a visual diary and scrapbook app for iPhone. You snap or import a photo, turn it into a sticker, and place stickers on a daily canvas so each day becomes a scrapbook page rather than a block of writing.

Entries can be browsed by date on a calendar, moments from cafes, restaurants and trips can be saved on a map, and simple stats track categories such as food, drinks, travel, shopping, hobbies, pets and workouts. Recent versions added Polaroid and cutout sticker formats and new visual themes for the journal canvas.

It suits people who prefer visual journaling to long writing, for example those logging coffee, matcha and desserts, travel memories, outfits or pets. The app is free to download with in-app purchases, and the listing mentions a limited-time lifetime access offer.
