Reason 1

Your screentime will go down, and you'll get more time for the things you love.

The easy one. Less time phone means more time beach. Reading, talking, working, running, exploring, working.

Go get it tiger.

Reason 2

Less cheap dopamine from social media means less brainrot throughout the day.

Smartphones deliver dopamine hits on demand. Every notification, like, and scroll triggers a tiny reward. This makes phones almost irresistible: the screen becomes a dopamine machine that's nearly impossible to step away from. It feels great! For about 10 minutes. Afterwards, it doesn't.

Reason 3

Screentime limits? 5 more minutes... Tap Out? Never mind, I'm tapped out.

Screentime limits would've been a great invention. But let's be honest: when't the last time you actually listened to that pop up? Tap Out only unlocks it shield by tapping a Tap Out Point. And out of sight, is out of mind.

Reason 4

Unlike dumb phones, you'll still have access to the apps you care about

Of course flip phones are super cool (we see you, Nokia). But we also know very well they don't have a good camera, solid Maps, or in some cases eve Whatsapp. Devices shouldn't limit us - and luckily with Ta physical app blocker, it won't be the case.

Reason 5

You'll build better phone habits that actually last.

Competitive, anyone? Real change from Tap Out comes from using it every day - and most people do. By combining the physical ritual of tapping to use your apps, with psychological incentives like leaderboards, streaks, and achievements, over 60% of people continue using it at least every week.

Got questions?

We get asked a lot...

That's the most common thing we hear, and it's why Tap Out is physical. To unblock your apps, you physically walk to your Tap Out Point and scan it.

App-based blockers live inside your phone... In your pocket. Tap Out lives somewhere else: 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.

That's why we added a prevent deletion mode. If you turn it on, you won't be able to delete the Tap Out app when you're tapped out :)

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.

That's why we've added 3 urgent access tokens that give you access to your apps. You can also use these in case of an emergency... But be careful. If you've used them all, you need to send us an email. Maybe we'll reset them.

No subscription, ever. You buy the Tap Out Point once and it's yours.

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
