Not compatible with iPhone 13

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

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.

Best Productivity Enhancing app by far

Been using Tapd for a few months now and I love it. It helps me focus on my work so much more and I love how easy it is to tap in and out. In my opinion much better than the other app options.

FAQ

What does Tapd do?

Tapd helps you focus by blocking distracting applications like social media and games. It uses NFC tags to initiate focus sessions, making the act of starting to focus a physical ritual. You can customize which apps are blocked and for how long.

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.

Is Tapd free to use?

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.
