HOW IT WORKS
It's really simple:
- Stick the tag wherever you need it - your nightstand, bathroom mirror, kitchen counter, wherever makes sense for you.
- When you're ready, just tap your phone against it.
- That's it. Your habit is logged, your device is controlled, or you get the info you need. No fumbling with apps.
What's actually happening? Each sticker has a tiny NFC chip inside (the same tech that lets you tap your phone to pay for coffee). Your phone powers it when you get close - no batteries needed, ever. It responds in under a second, and everything stays secure between your phone and the tag.
Works with iPhone XS or newer, and pretty much any recent Android phone.
WHY AURICTAP IS DIFFERENT
Let's be honest - most "solutions" out there are kind of a pain.
Regular apps? You have to unlock your phone, find the app, tap through menus... it takes forever. With AuricTap, you're done in 3 seconds.
Voice assistants? Great until there's background noise, or you're in public and don't want to announce what you're doing. AuricTap is silent and private.
Other NFC tags? Sure, they exist - but they're basically DIY projects. You have to program them yourself, and they're not designed for people who actually need accessibility features. AuricTap comes ready to use, with tactile surfaces you can feel and audio feedback so you know it worked.
Smart home apps? If you've ever tried to help an elderly parent navigate five different apps just to turn on a light, you know the problem. AuricTap gives you actual physical buttons you can find by touch.
WHAT MAKES IT BETTER
Built for everyone, especially people who get left behind by "smart" tech:
We added raised surfaces so you can identify tags by touch. Every action gives you audio confirmation. The design has high contrast for people with low vision. And here's the thing - you don't even need to look at a screen. It works entirely by touch and sound.
Your privacy actually matters:
Your data stays on your phone. Period. We don't store anything in the cloud. Everything is encrypted. We're GDPR compliant because we believe privacy is a right, not a feature.
It works with what you already have:
iPhone or Android - doesn't matter. Already have smart home stuff? AuricTap plays nice with it. Use Siri, Alexa, or Google? They all work together. We're not trying to lock you into some proprietary system.
It's physical, and that's the point:
Apps get buried in folders and forgotten. AuricTap tags stay right where you put them - visible, accessible, always there. They're water-resistant, they last, you can move them around, and there's no monthly fee or subscription nonsense.
Actually easy to use:
No internet required for the basics. No manual to read. Your grandma could use it. Your kids could use it. You can use it half-asleep at 3am. That's the whole idea.
WHY WE MADE THIS
Here's the truth: most technology today is designed for people who are already comfortable with technology. If you're blind, elderly, or just tired of everything requiring a screen and six taps, you're kind of out of luck.
We thought that was backwards.
AuricTap brings tech back into the real world - something you can touch, something that just works, something that doesn't make you feel stupid or left out.
It's not about being "different." It's about making technology that's actually designed for humans.
