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
Simple but yet so efficient -
thanks guys, since having installed the tap outs I can spend more productive time at home without procrastinating until late.
In het begin moest ik even uitvinden hoe het werkt met het venster wat op popt met de verschillende timers, maar eenmaal begrijpend werkt het perfect. Websites kunnen ook al individueel geblokkeerd worden, top!
I really like the simplicity of it. No hustle, it just works and has significantly reduced my screen time within 2 weeks - most of the days, I’m tapped out for more than 20 hours. No distractions, just intentional use of my phone.
Thank you!
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.
Reclaim time for the things that matter most.
Are you ready to dive into life?

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
