About

TapItNote

Read full description

TapItNote bridges the physical and digital worlds by turning ordinary NFC stickers into invisible digital sticky notes. Whether you are sharing a guest Wi-Fi password, scanning a web link, or creating a hidden maintenance log on a household appliance, TapItNote lets you interact with real-world objects with a single tap of your iPhone. CORE FEATURES • Share With Anyone: Thanks to iOS App Clips, your friends and guests don't even need TapItNote installed. Anyone can tap your sticker to instantly view your custom note or connect to your Wi-Fi via a lightweight, pop-up Clip. • Hardware Security: Protect your physical stickers from tampering. Lock any tag with a 4-character passcode to prevent unauthorized overwrites. Manage your saved passcodes securely using Face ID / Touch ID, and automatically lock new tags the moment you write them. • The Drafting Studio: Don't just write text—design it. Use the built-in Rich Text Editor to apply bold, italics, underline, custom colors, and monospace fonts before flashing your note to a tag. • Background Scanning: You don't even need to open the app! Simply tap your iPhone to a TapItNote sticker from your home screen, and the app will instantly wake up to display your hidden message. • Universal Frictionless Reading: Read TapItNote custom tags, launch web links directly into Safari, intercept generic Wi-Fi tags to import them into your library, or view the raw text of third-party tags. No camera, no QR codes, and no pairing required. • Pro Sharing: Draft beautiful notes and share them anywhere. Generate high-resolution images of your formatted notes for social media, send digital TapItNote web links via iMessage, or send your notes directly to an AirPrint-compatible printer. • 100% Local & Private: TapItNote was engineered from the ground up to respect your privacy. Your data never leaves your device. Notes are written directly to the physical silicon of the tag. There are no accounts, no cloud servers, and zero tracking analytics. BUILT FOR EVERYONE TapItNote is engineered with complete accessibility in mind. The app features total VoiceOver screen-reader support, Dynamic Type integration that scales text perfectly to your system settings, and mathematically tuned WCAG-compliant color contrast in both Light and Dark Mode. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS TapItNote requires standard, blank NTAG215 NFC stickers to write new notes. Not sure what to buy?
