Questions, answered.
The honest version, before the first public pack ships.
Can I buy TapBack now?
Not yet. The A$69 first public release is completing final hosting and launch checks. The checkout button on this page enables when orders are open.
Does a finder need an app?
No. A finder scans the QR tag with an ordinary modern phone and opens a short web form.
Will a finder see my contact details?
No. TapBack routes the message without showing your family's email address or phone number on the public finder page.
Does TapBack need my child's name or school?
No. The family account belongs to an adult. You can use practical item descriptions such as "navy drink bottle" without creating a child, class or school profile.
Can two adults receive alerts?
Yes. The account owner remains in control and can invite a second trusted adult through a private verification flow.
Does the plan renew automatically?
The planned public-release model does not automatically roll into a renewal. Before the first year ends, the family can choose whether to renew at the then-current annual price.
What can I tag?
The mixed kit is designed for bags, bottles, lunch gear, garments, device sleeves, instrument cases and other everyday family items. Final attachment instructions will match each physical format.
Does TapBack guarantee an item will come back?
No lost-property product can guarantee that. TapBack gives an honest finder a quick, private way to send a useful return message.
Direct to Australian families
Ready when your things go missing.
One family kit. Ten useful tag formats. A private route from an honest finder back to the adults who can help.
