Scan-first social for real life
You met forty people last night.
By Friday you'll remember four.
Tagit remembers the rest.
You're at a concert. You meet someone good. Out come the phones — you spell your username, they type it wrong, you try again, someone's torch is in your face, the song drops, and you both give up and say "I'll find you."
You don't find them. And the ones you do add turn into a row of strangers in your followers list, because a username on its own tells you nothing about who they were or why you liked them.
Three things happen, in this order. Each one only works because of the one before it.
Every venue or host puts up a code. You scan it and that's you checked in — Tagit now knows you were genuinely at that event, on that night.
This is the part nobody can fake. You can't check in from your bedroom.
The app opens straight to the camera. Point it at their code and their card appears — name, photo, and one big button: Add on Snap. One tap opens Snapchat with them already there. Nobody spells anything.
Everyone you scan is saved with the night attached: met at Flytime Fest, Saturday, the one who does photography. Instead of a nameless follower, you get the memory back.
Run into them again at another event and it starts a streak — a record of a friendship that keeps happening in real life.
Scanning at Flytime Fest
No feed to scroll, no home screen, nothing to post. Swipe one way for everyone you met, the other way for your own code. It works the way Snapchat already works, so there's nothing to learn.
There's a torch for dark rooms, double-tap flips the camera, and your screen goes bright on its own when you hold up your code — because this happens at night, in a crowd.
Every other app scores you on people who've never met you. Tagit only counts people who have.
New
Tagit shows you what's on — concerts, parties, meetups, pop-ups, brand launches — filtered by what you're into, your city, and this weekend. Tap through to buy a ticket.
A birthday. A listening party. A thing in Lekki on Saturday. Set a place and a time and you've got an event — plus a door code to print, so everyone who turns up is checked in.
Public events show up in search so strangers can find them. Invite-only ones are never listed anywhere — the only way in is a link from you.
New
Throwing something public and nobody knows about it? Boost it and it climbs the list. Self-serve — pick how many days, pay with your card, done. No emails, no sales call.

Boosted and featured events are always labelled. Nobody should have to guess why something is at the top of a list — and a boost can't buy check-ins, only attention.
There's no bio box in Tagit. You can't type anything about yourself — because a profile you can write by hand is a profile you can lie on. It fills in from the nights you actually turned up to.
What earns you rank
Points stack into a rank everyone can see — and it means something, because the only way up is to leave the house.
Coming next
Cameras are the slow part. In a dark, packed room you're squinting, holding a phone steady, waiting for focus. Tapping takes no aim and no light — it works with one hand holding a drink.
The venue puts a sticker on the door, or builds it into the wristband. Tap it, you're checked in. No camera, no queue, no fumbling in the dark.
A card the size of a bank card, a keyring, or a sticker on the back of your phone. Someone taps their phone on it and your profile opens — even if they've never heard of Tagit.
Flyers on a wall with a tap point. Brands get a physical way into the app, and you get the event without typing anything.
An NFC sticker is a tiny chip with no battery, powered by the phone held near it. All it stores is a short web link — the exact same link that's inside a Tagit QR code today.
So the phone doesn't need to understand Tagit. It reads a link and opens it. Your phone supplies the power, the sticker supplies the address.
The links already exist and already work. Nothing about check-ins, points or profiles has to change — NFC is a second doorway into the same system.
Blank stickers cost pennies in bulk. A host writes their event's link onto a pack of them from inside the app.
Two phones can't tap each other. Everyone assumes they can, but iPhones can't pretend to be an NFC tag at all, and Android removed phone-to-phone tapping years ago. Any app promising it is either using something else under the hood, or not working.
So NFC is for things — wristbands, cards, stickers, posters. Phone-to-phone stays the camera, which already works everywhere and needs nothing extra. Tap where there's something to tap; scan otherwise.
Nothing hidden, and nothing that costs the person using it.
Proof you were there, a record of who you met, and a reason to go out again — built on the one thing nobody can buy, fake, or scroll past.
Tagit — scan-first social for real-world events.
Built with React Native. Android build live · iPhone shortly · NFC next.
