Tap Studios
Independent app studio

Useful apps, one tap away.

Tap Studios builds focused, fast apps for everyday problems: the TV remote that's never where you left it, and the room you're not sure you can trust.

Our apps

Two apps. Each does one job well.

TapTV

Smart TV Remote & Cast

Lost the remote again? TapTV finds every TV on your Wi-Fi and gives you a fast, full-featured remote on your phone, with one-tap launching for your streaming apps, voice search and screen mirroring. One app for the whole house.

  • Finds every TV automatically on your home Wi-Fi, pairs once, then reconnects on its own.
  • A complete remote: D-pad, volume, channels, input, playback, home and back. Power on supported Samsung and LG sets from standby.
  • Launch apps in one tap, with real icons, read straight from your TV. Your most-used apps float to the top.
  • Type or talk into TV search boxes with your phone keyboard or the mic, instead of pecking at letters on screen.
  • Mirror your screen with one tap through your phone's built-in Smart View or Cast, with sound. A built-in stream to the TV's browser is there as a fallback.
  • Always within reach: a home screen widget for power, volume and mute, and a Quick Settings tile that opens your last TV's remote.
  • Free with ads, or go ad-free with TapTV Pro.

TapScan

Hidden Camera & Tracker Finder

Staying in a rental, a hotel or a new office? TapScan checks the room for hidden cameras, recorders and trackers four ways: on the Wi-Fi, in the air around you, over Bluetooth and through your camera lens. It shows why it flagged each device, and how to find it.

  • Scans the Wi-Fi for every connected device and flags the ones that act like cameras, including cloud cameras that hide every port, using the names your router gives them.
  • Spots camera hotspots: many spy cameras broadcast their own Wi-Fi network. TapScan lists the ones nearby.
  • Finds Bluetooth trackers and recorders: AirTags and other Find My devices, SmartTags, Tile, Chipolo, camera glasses, action cams, voice recorders and wireless mics. It flags trackers that are away from their owner.
  • A radar of everything around you: walk the room and each suspect Bluetooth device lands on a map. Switch to hot/cold, with vibration that speeds up as you get closer, to track one down.
  • Lens finder: your flash makes a camera lens glint, and your front camera can see night-vision LEDs. TapScan circles the bright points worth a closer look.
  • Everything stays on your phone. No account, no uploads. Free with ads, or go ad-free with TapScan Pro.

Looks for

  • IP cameras
  • Doorbell cams
  • Spy-cam hotspots
  • AirTags
  • SmartTags
  • Tile
  • Camera glasses
  • Voice recorders

No app can promise to find every camera. Devices that are switched off, use another network or record to a memory card can stay hidden, so TapScan tells you what it checked and what it couldn't.

How we build

Small apps, done properly.

We'd rather ship one app that works every time than ten that almost do.

One job, done well

Every app has a clear purpose. No feature bloat, no maze of settings.

Private by default

Your data stays on your device wherever possible. We don't run accounts or servers we don't need.

Tested on real hardware

We test on actual TVs, routers, cameras and trackers in actual homes, not just emulators.
