Real scenarios

Sound familiar?

These happen on British streets every day — and most of them end in a fine, a row, or a soggy note. TapOwner is the missing channel.

Blocked someone in

Double-parked on a tight road and the owner is nowhere to be found. A quick scan reaches them — no shouting up to first-floor windows.

Warden is circling

You’re on a loading bay, single yellow, or expired ticket. A passer-by scans before the PCN lands on the windscreen.

Bumped in the car park

Trolley dent, mirror clipped, paint scraped. An honest neighbour leaves their details with a scan — no soggy note under the wiper.

Lights or boot left open

Headlights still on, boot ajar, window cracked in the rain. A neighbour can flag it before your battery is flat in the morning.

How it works

Set it up once. Then it just sits there.

Two minutes to print and pop on your dashboard. After that, anyone who needs to reach you can — without ever seeing your number.

For you, the owner

Now your card lives here

TapOwner QR card on a car dashboard, visible through the windscreen

On the dashboard

Sits on your dash like any other parking note — visible to anyone outside the car. No adhesive on the glass, nothing in your driver's eye-line. Move it, replace it, or take it out for the car wash. It's just a card.

When someone needs to reach you

They notice the card

A neighbour, a passer-by, the warden. Anyone who needs you can see the QR through your windscreen.

Scan + verify

Camera reads the QR. They prove they're at the car by typing the last 4 of your reg — no app to install.

Your phone buzzes

Why TapOwner

Built around your privacy.

Five mechanics — each visible, each switchable. No dark patterns, no data trail, no number swap.

Number routing

Your number never leaves the building.

Every message hops through a one-time TapOwner relay. The scanner sees a chat window — never your name, never your number, never your address.

Stranger

Sees only a chat window.

TapOwner

Passes the message on.

You

Your number stays hidden.

End a chat any time. No phone numbers swapped, ever.

Reg challenge

Prove you're at the car.

Strangers type the last 4 of your reg before they can message you. No screenshot-scrapers, no random spam.
