Tapwater was shut down in January of 2020. This website exists as an archive.

The Problem

Your project is a monster.

From to-dos buried deep in the past to messages lost in your inbox, your project is a mess. It started out simple but evolved into a something else entirely. What happened?


Lack of clarity

What is the latest version of a file? When did it change?

Lost details

When did this invoice get paid again?

Paper shuffle

Where is that thing you sent me a month ago?

Notification overload

I can't navigate all these messages and alerts!

The Need

Why did we build Tapwater?

Communication in the 21st century is complex and exhausting. The conversation moves from email to text, to the phone, to an app, back to text and as a result, we're pulled in all directions by tools designed to seize our attention and keep it captive. In building Tapwater, we set out to fix this line of thinking by building something you can use when you need it and put down when you're done with it. We wanted a tool that could keep these complex threads of digital conversation tamed and woven into something useful.


Tapwater is the tool we wanted to use, so we built the business with that in mind. We decided from the beginning to protect users from any kind of third-party tracking; the "value" that analytics would provide to our business doesn't justify the cost to you, the user. Tapwater uses no Google Analytics, Intercom, or tracking code of any kind beyond the basic internal tools we use to discover bugs within the software. We never share any of your data with any third party, and we've listed the services that we use to build Tapwater below. We want to foster a healthier, more respectful version of the Internet where customers are treated the same as if they walked into our office.
