Tap

by Giuseppe Maggio

Read and write NFC tags

Sandboxed Verified creator GPL-3.0-or-later v0.1.0

About

Hold a contactless tag or card against your device and Tap shows what it is: its type, its protocol, its unique identifier and any NDEF records it carries. With a writable tag in the field, Tap can store a piece of text or a link on it. Tap reaches the reader through the NFC portal, so it never needs access to the system bus and cannot switch the radio on behind your back. That switch stays yours, in Settings.
