“I've had ADHD my whole life and tried every app blocker. They all had workarounds my brain found in seconds. Tap Out is different — I physically have to get up and walk. That tiny bit of friction is everything.”
Roos V.
ADHD diagnosed

“The dopamine loop is real, and I never believed anything could break it for me. Three weeks in and I've genuinely reclaimed my mornings. My phone stays in the kitchen now and I actually read again.”
Thomas K.

“My therapist recommended Tap Out specifically for my ADHD. She said it's the only tool that adds real friction. She was right. I went from 6 hours of screen time a day to under 2.”

“I'd convinced myself I just needed more discipline. Tap Out showed me I was fighting a neurological issue with willpower. The physical point changed everything. Screen time down 4 hours a day.”

ADHD, no meds

“My mum got this for me and honestly I was annoyed. Now I tell all my ADHD friends about it. The moment I have to stand up to unblock TikTok, I almost always decide it's not worth it.”

“Running a business with ADHD is brutal. Tap Out is now part of my morning setup — Shield on, deep work begins. It's the only productivity tool that actually works on my brain.”

Got questions?
We get asked a lot...
That's the most common thing we hear — and it's why Tap Out is physical. There's no password to Google, no settings menu to dig into. To unblock your apps, you physically walk to your Tap Out Point and scan it. The friction is in the real world, and your brain can't bypass physics.
App-based blockers live inside your phone — the same device your brain is trying to outsmart. Tap Out lives outside your phone. It's a physical object. The decision to unblock requires a deliberate, physical action every single time. That's a fundamentally different category of solution.
Deleting the app doesn't remove the block — it just means you can't manage it either. The Shield stays active until you physically scan your Tap Out Point. And honestly, the few seconds it takes to walk there is usually enough for your brain to catch up.
Yes — Tap Out works on both iOS and Android. It uses NFC (the same technology as contactless payment) and is compatible with all modern smartphones. Setup takes about 3 minutes.
You can buy replacement points, and each Tap Out starter pack includes multiple points so you can place them around your home — bedroom door, fridge, front door. The further from your couch, the better.
No subscription, ever. You buy the Tap Out Point once and it's yours. The app is free. No monthly fees, no upsells, no dark patterns. We're a screentime company — the last thing we'd do is trap you in a recurring payment.

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
