Names fade or get missed
Labels help only when someone can read them, match the name, and know where to send the item next.
Lost property without public phone numbers
Private return labels for school gear.
TapBack gives every labelled bottle, jumper, bag, and device a private way home. A finder scans, sends a message through TapBack, and your family contact details stay off the item.
Private finder alert
Blue bottle found near the library.
TapBack emails the family. Their phone number was never shown.
No public contact details
Scan. Message. Return.
- Private by design
- No parent phone number or email printed on school gear.
- Clear finder path
- A simple scan page turns “I found this” into a useful message.
- Low lift for schools
- Works beside the lost-property box without adding admin for staff.
The school-day problem
Most lost property is not truly lost. It is just hard to return.
Phone numbers feel too public
Families need to be reachable without printing personal contact details on every bottle, jumper, and case.
School offices get overloaded
TapBack gives finders a simple action, so return messages can reach the right family faster.
The return loop
A calmer way to get school gear back.
Create and name your labels
Use simple item names like blue bottle, trumpet case, blazer, or library bag.
A finder scans the QR code
The finder sees a private message form, not your personal email or phone number.
You receive the found-item alert
The email tells you where the item is, so pickup can happen through school.
Made for real school gear
One return system for the things families actually lose.
Drink bottles and lunchboxes
Everyday items that move between classrooms, playgrounds, sport, and after-school care.
Uniforms and bags
Jumpers, blazers, library bags, and sports bags can all carry the same private return flow.
Laptops and instruments
Higher-value gear gets a clear contact path without exposing family details.
Pilot family pricing
The Term 3 pilot is open for founding families first.

Annual family plan
A$29/year
The annual plan will reopen after the classroom pilot, when TapBack has clearer feedback on tag quantities and support.
- Up to 20 active QR tags

Pilot founding offer
Founding family pass
A$79 one time

- 10 supplied pilot tags for the founding classroom trial
- Founding family price locked in
- Honest signup and product feedback included

Privacy promise
Useful labels, without oversharing.
Finder pages show what helps an item get home, not the family's private contact details. TapBack is designed around parent consent, short finder messages, and minimal data. Read the Privacy Policy.
Pilot FAQ
Clear answers before families sign up.
Is the pilot optional?
Yes. The Term 3 pilot is parent/guardian opt-in only. No student or family has to buy TapBack.
Will my contact details be printed on labels?
No. The QR label opens a TapBack message page. Finder messages go through TapBack and private family contact details stay hidden.
What information does TapBack need?
TapBack needs a parent/guardian email, a delivery address for the tag pack, plan details, tag codes, optional item nicknames, and feedback. Delivery addresses are stored in TapBack's Supabase database for fulfilment, not in school systems.
Does my school have to manage TapBack?
No. Families sign up directly with TapBack. TapBack handles payment, delivery, setup, accounts, and support, while the school can keep using its normal lost-property process.
Get started
Join the Term 3 founding family pilot.
Enter your details, delivery address, and quick signup feedback before secure checkout. After payment, TapBack emails your private setup code so you can create and name your family tag codes while TapBack prepares the printed QR labels.
- Secure checkout through Stripe
- Private setup code sent by email
- 10 supplied pilot tags for everyday school gear
Pilot signup cutoff: 26 June 2026, so tag packs can be prepared before Term 3 starts on 14 July 2026. If the setup email does not appear quickly, check spam or junk and mark TapBack as not junk. Founding pass purchases are refundable if TapBack does not launch.
