WaxTap
Tap a record, hear the music.
WaxTap turns cheap NFC stickers into playback shortcuts for your record collection. Search an album, pick a playback link, and write it to a sticker on the sleeve. A tap from any iPhone opens the music — no app required to play.
How it works
From crate to playback in three steps.
WaxTap looks up releases through Discogs, finds a playback link, and writes a standard NFC URL to a blank sticker. Any modern phone can read it.
Search the release
Find the exact album through Discogs, complete with artwork, artist, and release details. Pick the pressing you own.
Choose what a tap opens
Write a direct YouTube or streaming link, the Discogs release page, or any URL you paste. WaxTap Pro can host an updateable album landing page.
Write the sticker
Hold your iPhone to a blank NFC sticker and WaxTap writes the link. Stick it on the sleeve, and every future tap opens the music instantly.
Your collection
Keep track of every tag.
- Written albums are saved to a local library so you can revisit them.
- Copy a tag's URL or write a replacement sticker at any time.
- WaxTap Pro removes the free-tier tag limit and adds batch writing and collection notes.
- Works with any standard NTAG NFC sticker — no special hardware.
Privacy
Your library stays on your iPhone.
WaxTap has no accounts, advertising, analytics, or tracking. Album searches are sent to Discogs and YouTube only to return results while you look one up.
Written tags are stored locally on your device. Nothing about your collection is uploaded to Cognerva.
