Tap Out: Less scrolling, more everything else.
Tap Out is an app blocker with a powerful twist:
The only way to access your apps, is by tapping the Tap Out.
Physically.
Select the apps you want to block, put your Tap Out in another room (ours is on the fridge), and there's no way to your distracting apps.

What's wrong with other solutions?
-
1. Screentime limits are too easy to bypass
Unfortunately, we all know what happens. A quick pincode and "ignore" button makes them ineffective in 2 seconds.
-
2. Leaving your phone at home is unrealistic, most of the time
Yes, we've been there, and it's just too extreme. You might even get lost in the woods. We literally did.
-
3. Dumb phones lack the tools we love
Nokia, we see you. You're amazingly cool and deserve a spot, but we love our maps, great camera, and a few fun & stupid videos just too much to make the switch
Let customers speak for us
Sinds 2 maanden gebruik ik Tap Out na het lezen van jullie artikel in de Quote. Ik voel mij rustiger en meer in het nu. Als ik een paar dagen de Tap Out niet aan heb voel ik dat ik makkelijker blijf scrollen en minder aanwezig ben. Voor mij is Tap Out echt een uitkomst en werk het veel beter dan de block apps. Nu al 1600 uur tapped out 😄.
Precies wat mijn doorgeslagen patroon nodig had! Na een week gebruiken al meer ruimte in mijn hoofd voor dingen die er wèl toe doen. Geef jezelf (of een ander) vrijheid!
Werkt perfect!
Zeker een aanrader.
Ze zouden de emergency tokens betaald moeten maken!😉
-> naar een goed doel.
I love my Tapout, time to break thephone addiction!
Ik zit niet meer hele dagen weg te scrollen op Instagram of Tiktok! Daardoor leef ik een stuk meer in het moment, echt fijn :)
Knew about tapout through a friend of mine. Tried it at work and it's amazing. You really get the feeling as if you get your time and your life back. The amount of time you waste is apparent more than ever. I am reading again and making more of my time. Also the little moments in between appointments are not filled with scrolling anymore, because you just can't. It' s absolutely worth it. Thank you!
Ik ben super blij met mijn Tap Out. Inmiddels ben ik 525 uur uitgecheckt en ik wil niet meer inchecken. Het geeft enorm veel rust. Ik ben niet meer bezig met Doomscrollen en mobiele games met eindeloze reclames. Ik heb het aan al mijn vrienden aangeraden en inmiddels hebben 4 mensen hem gekocht. Ik krijg allerlei screenshots met honderden Tap Out uren.
Wat ik wél zou waarderen is wanneer je een lange tijd Tapped Out bent, deze statistieken elke dag wel geüpdatet worden. Nu lijkt het alsof ik 3 weken lang niet Tapped Out ben want hij neemt de uren niet live mee.
It works, especially Tap Out function, which forces you just to tap out for a set number of minutes. This way you dont have to tap in again!
You can use one Tap Out for multiple phones. That's handy.
Goede communicatie en hele snelle levering. TapOut voldoet ook aan alle verwachtingen/
As someone with adhd I must conclude that tapout didn’t cure me from my phone addiction. However it did help me save many hours per week scrolling. And that’s already much more than I could’ve hoped for
Massive fan.! Keep on the good work
Reclaim time for the things that matter most.
Are you ready to dive into life?

A Smartphone Free childhood goes beyond Tapping Out
We fully support the movement of families who stand together to delay smartphones and social media. The longer we wait, the more time children have to learn, grow and develop - away from addictive algorithms.
Because humans are meant to do much more.
About us
We founded Tap Out because we felt we spent way too much time on addictive social apps, in stead of on the things that mattered. And unfortunately nothing - screentime limits, gray mode, Opal, OneSec, two different phones - had worked for us.
And so we went to work and came to an amazing new idea: a physical key to lock and unlock your apps. With the help of AI, a 3D printer, and Renée as design advisor, we were able to develop a working prototype within a week, next to our day-to-day jobs. That prototype is what became Tap Out v1.0 - an actual solution against mindless phone addiction that is helping hundreds of people already.
If you have come to read this far - thank you so much for coming to our website and supporting our mission. We hope you'll find Tap Out and the Tap Out community just as valuable as we do.
We'd love to hear for you. Will you let us know your thoughts or ideas via email?
Big kisses,
-Xan & Tobi
