Meet Tap Out.
Tap Out is an app blocker with a powerful twist:
The only way to access your apps, is by tapping the Tap Out.
Physically.
Put your Tap Out in another room (ours is on the fridge), and there's no way to your distracting apps.
A simple but powerful way to break free in our hyper-connected world.

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
Two weeks - 271 hours.
So worth it. Get yours and get your life back.
Simple but effective, have shorten my screentime by 50% in first 2 weeks. Probably will add some apps/functions in next week. Also gives great insight in simple behaviour using your phone in short moments to kill time.
Real cool. Been reducing by a lot my social media consumption. Basically can only use it when I am home and never in bed. Thought I would be missing out on things during the day, but obviously not lol.
Thinking of buying it as birthday gifts
Great way to break the habit of wasting time. Should have bought this earlier!
Top product, would really recommend!! It is very easy to use and app looks clear after you set it up.
Me and my house mate loved the idea and it has worked perfectly so far. Currently only tapped in at night after work and before bedtime we tap out. Able to connect and focus more already.
Obsessed with my Tap Out! Works so well I bought extras for friends (and for my grandmother!)
Habe meine Bildschirmzeit locker halbiert, funktioniert top
Habe auch angefangen wieder zu lesen, was ich davor ewig nichtmehr gemacht habe
Perfect way to get Out of the social media drug for a moment
Reclaim time for the things that matter most.
Are you ready to dive into life?

"I was completely tapped out of social media today, except from Whatsapp. It felt like I was 10x less on my phone."
– Marijn L, NS -
"I've been tapped out since yesterday, and I already notice that I reach less to my phone and try to fill my time doing other things. Love it!"

"When I go to bed with dumb phone mode on, I sleep like a prince."

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.
Although we hate email - we'd love to hear for you. Will you let us know your thoughts or ideas on Whatsapp?
Big kisses,
-Xan & Tobi
