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
My screentime is down with 60%. No other app could achieve that for me
Already very useful, having to go downstairs to tap back in has been an adequate threshold for me to stay tapped out - it gives the extra support to reduce useless but persistent phone habits. I do recommend this.
Het werkt!
Super dit, ik ben een stuk productiever!
Great product and works well for what I need to become more productive!
a voice in my head, told me this was “to childish”, but it works. And it works great! It really helps me my life long “chaos” and “adhd” and let me focus more and more!
The first tool that really helps to reduce my screentime! I love it. My screentime was 3,5hours per day and now I only use it 15 minutes a day average except for useful things like music, navigation etc. No more useless scrolling or waking up and instantly look on my phone. Thank you! Now I would like to have a tool for whatsapp that I can only use it for preferred contacts. So please...!
Werkt heel goed op mijn iphone. Ik zou willen dat het ook op mijn ipad werkte.
Perfect! Supersnelle verzending en het product werkt precies als beschreven.
Genau, was ich gebraucht habe. Hab das Ding außer Arbeit am Schreibtisch, so dass ich abends vor dem Schlafen dann nicht auf Insta Zeit verpulver. Hatte schon Dumbphone versucht, was aber nicht gut geklappt hat. Hab meiner Schwester auch gleich noch eins bestellt.
Got it for android and love the product. Light, cool and actually works!
Excited to hear what's to come!
Perhaps features in which the tap-out is automatically turned on at certain times (like 2200 before bed). Anyway, love it!
Simple but yet so efficient -
thanks guys, since having installed the tap outs I can spend more productive time at home without procrastinating until late.
In het begin moest ik even uitvinden hoe het werkt met het venster wat op popt met de verschillende timers, maar eenmaal begrijpend werkt het perfect. Websites kunnen ook al individueel geblokkeerd worden, top!
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
