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 echt blij met mijn aankoop. De tap out is supermakkelijk in gebruik en ik merk dat het echt werkt. Ik weet nu al een aantal vrienden voor wie dit een goed cadeau zou zijn!
Very happy with my Tap Out! I doubted because I thought it was silly that I needed help with controlling my screen time, but there are so many things I do out of self-discipline, that I gave it to myself as a little treat. Screen time went down several hours per day directly, it is so comfortable to simply know that socials are not available during hours, during a trip (leaving the Tap Out at home) or when I need to focus. I've been using it for 3 weeks now and really love it!
Our Grandson was super happy with the tapout and started te use it straightaway.
Fantastisch, ik heb mijn leven terug. Het voelt bevrijdend en ik kom aan zoveel meer dingen toe.
Het werkt echt goed . Alleen lastig als je weg van huis gaat maar dat is een kwestie van goed nadenken welke apps je echt kan missen.
Just great. The physical element of it makes it really work.
Super simple, super efficiënt. Would recommend 10/10
I am addict to scrolling the socials . I am also lazy. Keeping my Tap Out in my purse helps making opening the social apps just enough of a hassle. I actually didn't open Insta, TikTok and Facebook for two days straight, even though I had forgotten to Tap Out again after looking something up.
It works great! I already have limited my screen time so much. Can highly recommend it!
Very happy with Tap Out, very effective in reducing screentime. Magnetic is a nice feature
Works like a charm. Shocking how often I grab my phone subconsiously to check something.
Super handig in gebruik! Ik heb het aan mijn klanten cadeau gegeven voor kerst en iedereen is enthousiast. Op naar meer focus en verbinding in plaats van zinloos te scrollen.
Zo blij mee! Veel meer focus in mijn brein! Voelt heel rustig nu mijn telefoon! Ik gebruik mijn telefoon nu voor dingen die nodig zijn en niet meer om eindeloos te scrollen!
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!
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
