TapMyNotes — Every moment has a story.
Most notes only capture what you thought. TapMyNotes captures when and where too — with one tap, it automatically saves the timestamp (When) and GPS coordinates (Where) — precise and unchangeable. Then add your own words (What) to capture what happened, how you felt, or what mattered in that moment. Your words are the key to your memories. Don't leave a tap blank.
With this app, you can build a searchable timeline and spatial history of your life — travels, work, health, ideas, and everyday moments, at every exact place.
Organize your way — in two simple layers:
* Tap Entities — broad categories (e.g., My Travel, My Health, My Work)
* Tap Items — specific interests within each (e.g., Hikes, Symptoms, Projects)
Set up your structure once. Then tap to record — instantly.
Every tap captures three essential elements :
* When — precise timestamp with time zone (view in local time, even when travelling)
* Where — GPS coordinates, altitude (additional address, and distance & altitude changes)
* What — your text note (editable anytime so you can complete your thoughts later)
Find and explore your past like never before:
* Search by text or date (location search coming soon)
* Compare a past tap with your current time, distance, and altitude
* View a sequence of taps to see timeline and location progression
* Visualize your journey on an interactive map
Auto-caching — your passive memory log.
Even when you don't manually tap, the app automatically caches location records when you open the tap view or map (minimum 5 minutes and 50 metres depart, adjustable). Review them later in a list or on a map. No action required — just open the app and let it work quietly in the background.
All cached taps are saved in a separate database with a configurable limit — never mixed with your user tap data.
Privacy first.
All data stays on your device. We never see your notes, location history, or coordinates. You own your data, just like you own your device — completely.
Advanced: global coordinate support.
TapMyNotes automatically handles the GCJ-02 coordinate offset used in mainland China. Your map pins appear exactly where they should — no manual conversion needed. A first for a personal notes app.
Your entire history in one place.
All tap records are saved within the app. Storage is remarkably efficient — for example, one user's nearly 30,000 records over near a decade take up only about 8 MB. TapMyNotes can hold a lifetime of essential moments — all on your device.
A tool for life, not clutter.
TapMyNotes is designed for the big picture — the essential moments, locations, and your own keywords that anchor your memories. For photos, videos, or lengthy journaling, use other tools. Just add matching keywords in those external notes so TapMyNotes becomes your personal index — the backbone of your life's timeline. You'll find that when you need to quickly locate a memory from a sea of data, TapMyNotes may be your most powerful tool.
Get started in seconds. Keep refining forever.
Your first tap entities and items are pre-loaded as templates to help you get familiar with the app's features. We strongly recommend customising them to better fit your interests over time. Detailed in-app help is always available.
Download TapMyNotes and start capturing your life — one tap, one moment at a time. Remember, time and location are set at the moment of recording — they cannot be changed or recreated. Start now, and capture the beautiful moments of your life.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Smoother and Faster Tap Recording
The tap recording process now feels significantly smoother and more responsive. After you tap the Tap button, a clear prompt showing the new record’s location and note information appears immediately. You can then choose to continue editing the record or dismiss the prompt—no more brief blank-screen pauses or waiting.
Quick Navigation
The floating up/down button is back and better than ever. When a list grows beyond twice the number of visible rows, the button appears and lets you jump directly to the first or last row.
Quick navigation is also available in all other list views, providing a consistent and convenient way to move through long lists throughout the app.
Sound on Tap
A new “Play Clip Sound” setting lets you play a click sound whenever you create a tap record. It is off by default and can be enabled anytime in Settings.
Clearer In-App Help
Help information has been redesigned to make it easier to read and less distracting. Instead of previously long, expandable sections, you'll now find a simple info button in section headers and/or footers. Tap it to see clear, focused guidance in a prompt view.
This applies to edit and property views for Tap Entities, Tap Items, and Taps, making the app cleaner and more welcoming—especially for new users.
Better Example Data for New Users
First-time users now see a more generic and understandable set of example Tap Entities and Tap Items. These examples provide a clearer introduction to how TapMyNotes can help you organize and remember your life.
Improvements
Smarter Navigation
The navigation behind the First, Previous, Next, and Last buttons has been improved. While the buttons work the same as before, the underlying design is now more flexible and ready for future updates, including organizing records into sections.
Reordered Note Context Menu
Based on user feedback, “Edit” is now at the top of the note context menu for quicker access.
The menu order is now:
Edit · Copy · Copy 1st Line · Replace 1st Line (when available) · Clear All
Bug Fixes
Location Direction Improved
Improved heading calculation between nearby taps. When the taps are too close to provide a meaningful direction, considering their location accuracy, no heading information is shown.
Editing the Latest Tap Note
Fixed an issue where the “Latest Tap Note” action could select the last tap shown in the search results instead of the actual latest tap. Now, whether search is on or off, “Latest Tap Note” always opens the tap with the most recent tap date for the selected Tap Item.
Fixed Some Crash Issues
Improved app stability by fixing issues that could cause unexpected crashes.
Cleanup
Removed unused files and code to keep TapMyNotes leaner and easier to maintain.
Thank you for using TapMyNotes! We hope these updates make your experience smoother and more enjoyable.
