Proximity exchange

Contact exchange that happens when phones meet

Networking still ends with “what’s your Instagram?” and five unfinished follow-ups. TAP (Touch A Phone) moves a full Æther contact card between devices in a touch — proximity exchange, not another QR scavenger hunt. Exchange by tapping phones in person or remotely when you cannot meet face to face — no repeats, no misspellings, no opening every app just to meet one person.

How TAP exchange works
1) Build your card

Add the channels you want people to use — nearly every digital communications platform, including the ones each person prefers. Share Instagram or Facebook without your phone number or email if that is what you choose.

2) Stand close

Bluetooth and Nearby Devices permissions let TAP detect the other phone.

3) Confirm and share

Nothing leaves your phone until you start a TAP. You pick what goes over.

4) Or exchange remotely

When you are not face to face, TAP still supports contact card exchange at a distance — same living card, same preferred channels.

NFC, QR, and proximity — what’s different

Proximity, not a poster

QR codes need a camera and a landing page. TAP is built for the moment two people are already talking.

Rich card, not a single link

Phone, email, socials, preference order, and design travel together into Æther Contacts.

Works with or without the full Neverhold app

TAP is the lightweight exchange app. Neverhold adds secretary, sync, and the full Æther experience.

Privacy by default

Permissions exist to find the peer device. Sharing still requires your action every time.

TAP log after the event

See who you met the night before at a social event or trade show — fewer missed connections when the room was loud and names blur.

Business cards that keep working

Attach catalogs, offers, logos, and branding; push-update when things change. Environmentally friendlier than stacks of printed cards, flyers, and print ads.

Common questions

How do I TAP to exchange cards?

Install TAP, open it on both phones, stand close, and confirm what to share. That is proximity contact exchange — built for meetups, not QR scavenger hunts. TAP also supports remote contact card exchange.

Is this for tap contacts / contacts TAP?

Yes. TAP is Neverhold’s contact-card exchange app. Cards land in Æther Contacts so tap contacts stay with the person, not buried inside one chat app — a modern replacement for stock Android contacts.

Do both people need the app?

For a full TAP exchange, both phones need TAP installed. Download from the download hub.

What is the TAP log?

The TAP log shows who you met — useful the morning after a social event or trade show so fewer connections get lost.
