One tap. Apps blocked. Focus starts.
Tapd uses NFC tags to turn starting a focus session into a physical ritual — not just another setting on your phone. Tap your tag, choose your preset, and distracting apps disappear. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube — gone until you tap out.
But Tapd isn't solo. It's built for the people you focus with.
Join a group with friends, roommates, or family. Watch the Together Meter show who's currently locked in. Compete on the leaderboard — because knowing your roommate has 40 more minutes than you is better motivation than any timer.
After each session, see your analytics, track streaks, and watch your focus hours stack up over time.
What makes Tapd different:
• NFC tap-in/tap-out — focus starts with a physical commitment
• App blocking with custom presets — you choose what gets blocked
• Group leaderboards and Together Meter — accountability from people, not apps
• Analytics, goals, and lifetime stats — celebrate progress, not just limits
Download. Tap in. Get to work.
I’d tried some other apps to stay off social media mostly, but never ended up sticking with them. Made a group with me and my roommates and we all hold each other accountable more. Plus the physical tags make me have to go to a shared space to access apps or take a break
Such an incredible product

I had so many struggles before with distractions on my phone. This social app genuinely helped resolve my issues, and therefore increased my productivity hours each day. I would highly recommend this product!
Love it

I use Tapd before I go to bed at night. Instead of scrolling away before going to bed and ruining the next day, I am able to tap in, and go to bed easy. It made a huge change in my everyday life. I love it and recommend it to everyone.
Great study tool

I have used Tapd for several months now and it has transformed my productivity. Physically having to remove myself from my study environment to take a break makes me consider if I need a break or not. Overall a very beneficial and productive app!
New intentionality behind tapping in, minor changes to the analytics page.
