Static is boring. Echotap turns ordinary objects into living video moments. Tap a bracelet, scan a card, open a journal, and watch the people who matter speak to you.

An Echo is what we call the messages you send to each other on Echotap. Messages bouncing back to the people you love. A video, a hello, a happy birthday, a thanks for being here. Like a tweet, but it never gets buried in a feed.

Yes. You pay for the card. Everything else (recording, watching, sharing, the highlight reel) is included. A premium tier is coming with more features.

On our private servers, visible only to people in your group. We don't post them to social media, sell them to advertisers, or use them to train AI. You can also save any video to your own camera roll anytime.

Email support@echotap.io. We read every message and answer within 24 hours most days. Screenshots and short screen recordings help a lot.

Echotap signs you in with a magic link sent to your email, or your Google account. No password needed.

Email support@echotap.io with proof you own the old email and a phone number where we can reach you. We'll verify and update your account within 24 hours.

Anyone who can scan the QR code, tap the bracelet, or follow the link. If you want them kept private, only share access with people you trust, and be thoughtful about who you invite to your group. A private mode is coming soon as a premium feature.

Yes, both. Echotap runs in any modern phone browser, no app to download. iPhones from the last several years support NFC tap, and so do most Android phones. If your phone doesn't tap, you can always scan the QR code with your camera instead.

A physical greeting card with an EchoTap QR code on it. Friends record their messages, the person you love scans the card, and watches every one. Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, holidays, the moments worth keeping.

After you buy a card, scan the QR code and create your account. Name the group ("Mom's 70th Birthday"), add the event date and a cover photo if you want, and record your first greeting. Then share the link so friends can add theirs.

The buyer taps "Invite friends" and shares the link. Anyone who taps the link signs in, records their greeting, and Echotap adds it to the feed.

When you give them the physical card, they scan the QR code. The greetings open in their phone browser, no app to download. They watch and swipe up for the next one. You can also forward the link directly if you want to skip the QR scan.

Yes. The QR code and link point to the same group forever. Often the person being celebrated records a thank-you back to everyone, and that's when the card really comes alive. A card can keep growing long after the original event.

Yes. Open the card, find the greeting, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Delete. You can delete greetings you've sent, and the Boss of the card can delete any greeting.

Yes. Open the card in your dashboard anytime to watch every greeting that's been added. As the Boss of the card, you can delete anything that doesn't fit before handing it over.

One video file with every greeting stitched together, so you can download it and save it to your phone or computer. A way to keep the whole card in one place, even if you stop using Echotap.

A bracelet with a secret. Tap it to your phone and a private feed opens, full of short video, audio, and photo messages from the people in your group. Sold in pairs and multi-packs, so you and your friends can wear them together and share what you're up to without filling up your camera roll.

Tap your phone to your bracelet and your feed opens. Tap Reply to record an Echo. Shoot video, record audio, or take a photo, then hit Send. Everyone in the group sees it in their feed.

Only people in your group. That means anyone who has a bracelet from the set or who you've invited with a link. Share access carefully. A private mode is coming as a premium feature for groups that want more control.

Open your group on the dashboard and tap Invite. You'll get a short link to text or share. Anyone who taps the link and signs in is added to the group. Send it directly to people you want in. Anyone who gets the link can join.

Yes. Open the group, find the Echo, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Delete Echo. You can delete Echos you've sent, and the Boss of the group can delete any Echo.

Your Echos and groups live in your account, not on the bracelet. Sign in at echotap.io and you'll see everything in your dashboard. You can keep using the group without a bracelet, or buy a new one and add it to your group.

Most modern phones can read NFC, but if yours can't or you'd rather not tap, anyone in your group can share a direct link to the feed. Same experience, just open it from the link.

A printed memory book about someone you love, organized by chapters of their life. They write their stories on the pages and add photos. One QR code in the book opens a companion online, where they tell those same stories in their own voice and on video. Friends and family can be invited to add their memories too, automatically organized by the same chapters.

In time for the 2026 holiday season. The Grandparent edition launches first, with Parent and Couples editions to follow.
