User reviews

Love the tag

The NFC tag really made me feel like my social media apps were separated from my phone. It made the app blocking more effective and I can use it with friends, so I like the social accountability piece too.

Not compatible with iPhone 13

I can’t get thru the setup prompt because the window is cropped smaller on my phone.

Response from developer

Hi Danny, we fixed this cropping bug in our latest update! Please download the newest version to see the fix.

Great App

A really helpful app

Awesome app!

Such a a helpful app! And it really works! Leverages the power of group accountability to get us off our phones and back into reality! Highly recommend

Incredible App

Incredibly made app that is super important. Everyone should download this and use it for their own sake. My screen time is already down 2 hours! Can’t recommend it more.

How does the group feature work?

You can create or join focus groups with friends, roommates, or family. The app displays a 'Together Meter' to show who is currently in a focus session. Leaderboards allow for friendly competition, motivating users by showing their progress relative to others.

Yes, the application is free to download and use. The provided information indicates no in-app purchases or advertisements, suggesting a completely free experience.

What are the benefits of using NFC tags with Tapd?

Using NFC tags provides a physical commitment to starting a focus session. Instead of just navigating through settings, tapping an NFC tag initiates your chosen app blocking preset, making the transition to focused work more intentional and less abstract.

Can I track my focus progress with Tapd?

Absolutely. After each focus session, Tapd provides analytics to help you track your progress. You can monitor your streaks, see your focus hours accumulate over time, and celebrate your achievements.
