NFC business card

An NFC business card that's a keychain or a bracelet, and puts you in charge of the follow-up.

TapLoop is an NFC business card built into something you already carry: a keychain today, jewelry next. Tap it to a phone and your contact details open, no app needed on their side. They can share their details back on the same screen. Then the part most cards skip: the connection lands in your free app, with a note, a reminder, and a draft, so the follow-up is yours to make and never slips. The keychain is $20, one time. Designed and made in Waltham, Massachusetts.

The part most cards skip

The tap is the start. You own what happens next.

With most digital cards, the moment ends when they save your number. The follow-up depends on them. TapLoop turns that around: their details come to you, and your app makes the follow-up easy to do while it still matters.

They land in your app

Every person who shares back shows up in New, with where you met them. Nothing to type, nothing to export, nothing to lose in a photo roll of business cards.

A note while it's fresh

Thirty seconds after you meet someone, write what mattered. Or say it: on Pro, a voice note files itself.

A reminder, then a draft

Pick when to follow up, and TapLoop reminds you on your Home screen and by email. On Pro, it drafts the message in your voice. You decide, you send.

How it compares

What's different from a digital business card

Most NFC cards do one thing well: they share your details. TapLoop starts there and keeps going.

What makes it different

Designed to be given away.

Most networking products are built for the person who buys them. TapLoop is built for the person who receives one. A business or an event host hands them out; each person claims theirs in seconds and keeps a networking tool that works for them for free; the giver keeps the connection that started it. Swag that captures nothing becomes swag that gives you the contact back.

Both sides choose

You choose which of your details a tap shows. You choose what the share form asks for: name and email only, or phone, company and title too. They choose whether to share at all. Consent is built into the tap, not bolted on.

Any object, not a card

The chip goes into things people already carry: a keychain, a bracelet, a tumbler, a badge, a client gift. No app on the other side, and a QR code on the back for phones without NFC.

Made here, patent pending

Designed, laser-cut, engraved, and assembled in Waltham, Massachusetts by Sweder Design Co., a woman-founded studio. Custom shapes and branded batches come from the same bench. US patent pending.

Who it's for

Three ways people use it

For yourself

One keychain on your keys. Tap, they have your details, you have theirs, and the app reminds you to follow up before it goes cold. For yourself →

For your business

Branded TapLoops you give to clients and prospects. Each one becomes theirs to use, and you keep the connection that started it. For business →

For events

Hand one to every guest. They activate it in seconds and use it on each other all night, and you see how many activated and how many taps followed, long after the event. Events →

Plain answers

Questions people ask first

Does the other person need an app?

No. They tap or scan, your details open in their browser, and they can save you to their phone and share their details back from that page. The app is for you, the owner.

Does it work with iPhone and Android?

Tapping works on any phone with NFC, which is nearly every iPhone and Android phone made in the last several years. Older phones can scan the QR code instead. The TapLoop app is on the App Store; the Android app is in testing.

What does it cost?

The keychain is $20, or $30 with your own design. That's a one-time price. The app is free. Pro, which adds AI follow-up drafts, voice notes and more, is $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial.

Can I change where it points?

Yes, any time, from the app. The keychain holds a link; you decide where the link goes: your contact card, a booking page, a website, anything.

Can I buy them in bulk with my logo?

Yes. Businesses and event hosts order branded batches, and each person who receives one activates it as their own. Email hello@taploop.net for batch pricing.

What if we both have TapLoop?

Tap, and you trade: each of you lands in the other's app, with the event you met at already filled in. There's a QR code in the app too, so you can share without the keychain in hand.

Is this a digital business card, a lead capture tool, or a CRM?

It starts where a digital business card starts and ends where a personal CRM ends. The tap shares your info like a smart business card. The share-back captures theirs, like a lead capture form, except the other person chooses to share and keeps a TapLoop of their own. The app is the lightweight CRM for people you just met: notes, reminders, follow-up drafts, and email to groups, with an unsubscribe link built in.

Is there a bracelet or other jewelry?

Soon. Bracelets come first, with more pieces after. Same tap, same app, made to be worn instead of carried. Join the list and you'll hear the day the shop opens.

Who makes it?

Sweder Design Co., a small design and manufacturing studio in Waltham, Massachusetts. The keychains are cut, engraved, and assembled there.

One tap. Both directions. Then the follow-up is yours.

Start with a keychain and the free app. Upgrade to Pro when you want the follow-up done for you.
