WHAT CLIPTAP IS

Three kinds of tag. One account.

ClipTap puts a link on something physical. Tap a bracelet and it opens your page. Scan the code on a car and whoever needs you — blocked in, lights left on, about to be towed — can message you without either of you giving up a name or a number. Scan the tag on a dog's collar and whoever found them reads what they need to know and reaches you the same way.

There is no sign-up form. You get a tag, scan it with your phone, and the account is made in that moment — and only the part that tag is for opens. Activate a pet tag and the pet side opens. Activate a car sticker too and both are there, in the one account.

NFC PROFILE TAGS

A page of your own, on anything you can tap.

Your band arrives carrying an address at cliptap.win/yourname. Tapping it opens your page — who you are, what you do, the links you want people to have.

  • Design the page yourself: photo, colours, fonts, buttons.
  • Anyone who taps can hand you their contact details back, and they land in your inbox even if your phone stayed home.
  • Change where it points whenever you like. The tag never has to be rewritten.
Where to get one

VEHICLE TAGS

A private line on your car, opened by you.

A QR code for your car window. Somebody standing at your car scans it with their phone camera and sends you a message. They stay anonymous, you stay anonymous, and they need no app and no account.

  • The messages that matter: you are blocked in, your lights are on, someone clipped your mirror, a tow truck is backing up.
  • Emergency mode — broken down? Scanners see NOT ABANDONED with the time you left it, so a tow operator knows the car is not derelict.
  • Block a sender, mute the tag, or rotate the code. Every scan and message goes into a tamper-evident record.

ANIMAL TAGS

A collar tag that says more than a phone number.

A QR code on your dog's or cat's collar. Whoever finds them scans it and reads what you wrote — their name, what they are like, what they take — then messages you from the same page. No app, no account, and neither of you learns who the other is.

  • The things an engraved tag has no room for: nervous around men, deaf, on insulin twice a day, do not chase.
  • Lost mode — flip it on and every scan opens with REPORTED LOST and the time you reported it, so a finder knows to stop and message you rather than assume they wandered off the porch.
  • Change any of it whenever you like. The tag itself never has to be rewritten, and your number never lands on a stranger's phone.
Where to get one

All three live in the same account, and each one is opened by its own tag. Nothing renews and nothing expires — a tag you activate stays yours. The object is the product: it arrives carrying its own code, so there is nothing to write and nothing to print.

How it works

  1. Get a tag. A sticker for a car window, a band for your wrist, or a tag for a collar. Each one arrives already carrying its own code.
  2. Scan it with your phone camera. No app. The code opens a page that asks for one thing: your email.
  3. That scan is the sign-up. There is no separate account to create — entering your email activates the tag and makes the account in the same step. Already have one? Use the same address and the tag joins it.
  4. Fill in what a scanner should see. Which car it is, or your animal's name, temperament and medication, or the profile page your band opens. You can change any of it later without touching the tag.
  5. Get a message when it matters. We email you. You reply from your account, and whoever scanned never learns who you are.

How it works: the QR sticker for your car · when someone blocks you in · the not-abandoned breakdown notice · reaching any car's owner · why we won't build on license plates

Broke down? Turn on emergency mode and anyone who scans sees NOT ABANDONED with the time you left it, so a tow operator or a ticket writer knows the car is not derelict. Lost an animal? Lost mode does the same thing on a collar tag.

YOUR ACCOUNT

Scanning the tag is how you get in.

There is no sign-up form on this site, and nothing to fill in before you own something. A tag arrives carrying its own code; you scan it, give an email, and the account exists. Each tag opens its own part of it, and only that part:

Activate more than one and they share the account — a car sticker and a collar tag sit side by side, each with its own inbox, each opened by the object you activated. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and a tag you have activated stays yours.

Want one? Tell us which.

We reply with a payment link and post it out. Each one is made carrying your own code, so it is made after you ask — there is no card form on this page.

Already activated a tag?

No password — we email you a link and a code, and either one signs you in.

However the code gets onto the glass, it closes the only window that matters: the few minutes when somebody standing next to your car has no way to reach you.

Those are the numbers a message can stop. Your city sticker is about ninety dollars every year and only proves you paid; a ClipTap tag is bought once and never renews.

Questions, or a tag that will not activate? Email [email protected] and a person will answer.

KEEP IT ON YOUR PHONE

Put ClipTap on your home screen.

Nothing to download from an app store, and no account to hand over to one. It installs straight from this page — the same site, opening full screen from an icon like any other app. When somebody messages your car, it is one tap away instead of buried in a browser tab.

Android

Install it directly from this page in Chrome — no Play Store account, no download to approve.

Open this page in Chrome and use ⋮ → Install app (some phones say Add to Home screen).

iPhone & iPad

Safari does the same thing under a different name.

  1. Tap the Share button
  2. Scroll to Add to Home Screen
  3. Tap Add

It has to be Safari — Chrome on iPhone cannot add it.

Installed or not, everything works the same in a normal browser tab. This is convenience, never a requirement — and the person who scans your car never needs it.

You stay in control of it

Anyone can message you about your car. That only works if you can shut it off just as easily — so every one of these is built in, not an upgrade.

Block a senderOne tap ends it. They can't start a new conversation either, and they're never told they were blocked.
Pause the tagAn hour, eight, or a day. It switches itself back on, so you can't accidentally leave your car unreachable.
Retire the codeIf someone abuses your tag, kill it. That code stops working the same minute and nothing carries over to its replacement.
Emergency modeBroken down? Scanners see NOT ABANDONED with the time you left it, so a tow operator knows the car isn't derelict.

Nobody who scans your sticker learns your name, email, phone or address — and we don't keep theirs either.

Nerdy facts about ClipTap

Skip this if you just want the sticker. It works either way.

Your record is sealed against the Bitcoin blockchain.

Every scan and message goes into a log where each entry locks the one before it, so nothing can be quietly edited, removed or backdated. The seal is then timestamped into Bitcoin — which means if a tow or a ticket is ever disputed, you can export the record and anyone can verify it with public tools we didn't write. It doesn't rest on trusting us, which is the point.

  • Your car gets towed anyway. Somebody messaged you at 7:42am saying the truck was hooking up. The tow company says you're making that up after the fact. You can't have been — that message was sealed at 7:42am and the seal is in a Bitcoin block nobody can go back and edit.
  • You contest a street cleaning ticket. The record shows the warning arrived at 8:10 and you moved the car at 8:25, in that order, with times you had no ability to manufacture.
  • Your car breaks down Friday and is towed Monday as abandoned. You turned on emergency mode Friday evening. The record proves you flagged it then, rather than after the tow — which is the whole argument.
  • Somebody sees a hit and run. “Blue pickup, plate ABC 1234, 3:15pm.” A screenshot of that proves nothing; anyone can fake a screenshot. This can't be faked, and it doesn't need you to be believed.

It proves when something was recorded and that it hasn't changed since. It can't prove what somebody typed was true — nothing can. But the timing becomes a fact rather than a claim, and that is usually the part being argued about.

We can't identify the person who messaged you. Deliberately.

Blocking someone only needs to recognise them, not know who they are, so all we keep is a one-way fingerprint — no address, no name, nothing reversible. You can block a repeat nuisance and we still couldn't tell you who it was if you asked.

The code on your sticker is useless to a stranger.

The short code printed on it only identifies which sticker it is. Switching one on takes a shop PIN, so somebody reading the code off your parked car can do exactly nothing with it.

The QR codes are generated from scratch.

No third-party service sits between your sticker and the person scanning it — the encoder is written into ClipTap itself. One less company involved in a private message about your car.

Sign in

No password. The email has a link and a code — either one works.

No account yet?

There is no sign-up form. Scan the tag you were given, enter your email on the page it opens, and the account is made in that step — with the part that tag is for already open.
