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
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
De Tap Out werkt supergoed! Eerst dacht ik dat je om offline te gaan ook het Tap Out punt moest bezoeken, maar dat hoeft niet. Je kunt de grote knop in de app lang ingedrukt houden waardoor offljne gaan heel makkelijk gaat! Ik ben er blij mee, mijn online momenten zijn veel meer bewust geworden.
I’m super happy with it! It really helps me control my addiction and it makes me realise how quickly 7min go by when I’m just looking at reels. I’m so much more productive and I can see how my instagram addiction is slowly fading.
I like the device itself, it minimalistic and small. The only change I would do is to add the possibility of 10min tapin. 15min is too long and at times 7 is too short. I would also add celebrations. For example, if 3 days in a row I only tapped in once.
Super oplossing om mijn schermgebruik en nodeloos scroll- en refreshgedrag naar beneden te krijgen.
I love how you can block websites and set up different modes - work mode, sleep mode, movie mode, you name it. I've got one mode that's always running to block certain sites (like Instagram). Really helpful, thanks!!
I got it as a gift and honestly, it’s the best gift I’ve received in a while. I can finally stop doom scrolling and bring my screen time down!
Brilliant concept. Makes it much easier to control my screentime.
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
