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
Extremely intuitive, really helped me significantly cut down the time I spend on my phone.
I love it! Screen time much lower than before. It puts the decision to be more offline on its head: instead of always being able to scroll and trying to start reducing from there, the new standard with Tap Out is to have my addicting apps blocked all the time, and choose intentionally when to do a little dopamine scroll. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and my total time away from e.g. Instagram and addicting news websites is over 300 hours and my screen time is around 1.5 hour lower per day.
Love it! I bought two one for home and one for work and it’s been great at cutting down my screen time even in a very short period!
Cool product, it works well and helps me to do a social media detox! It arrived quickly and worked seamlessly!
Does what ot needs to do perfectly, nothing more nothing less
Voor mij stopte dit keihard mijn scrolltijd en het is heerlijk. Eindelijk bewust omgaan met mijn mobiele tijd.
Mijn actieve tijd die ik normaal spendeer aan instagram en reddit is enorm naar beneden,
Geen idee of het op de lange termijn werkt aangezien ik in het begin de standaard screentime van apple ook goed vond werken, maar die geeft je de optie om het weg te klikken. Tapout niet.
Goede vinding dat er iets fysieks nodig is om de telefoondrang weg te nemen en een mooi design
When I first started using Tap Out, I still found myself tapping out often to check social media. But after 1-2 weeks, I often forgot about it and now I can go days without using social media. And it feels amazing! I have more time, more peace of mind, and I feel like I’m back in control of my phone instead of it controlling me. Thank you!
Eigenlijk is het heel simpel, een 3D geprint product met een NFC tag er in. Maar het is het dubbel en dwars waard. Het helpt bij je productiviteit, helemaal wanneer je de Tap Out in een ruimte legt waar je nauwelijks komt. De app is makkelijk in gebruik.
If you doubt whether you really need this. The fact that you doubt says enough. And honestly, what do you really have to lose? More time for friends, reading, conversations, sleep. No messing around with complicated apps and subscriptions. Tap out and Tune in.
This is it! No more ways to cheat your way back in to social media addiction. A way to get rid of the doomscrolling and make everything in your life vibrant once again!
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
