Screen to answer

Four modes, one gesture

Less friction between seeing and knowing.

3tap keeps the screen itself as context, so you can move from “what is this?” to something useful without rebuilding the question somewhere else.

01

Across languages

Translate the screen, not one copied sentence.

Understand menus, messages, signs, and pages while keeping their visual context.

02

Less reading

Turn the long version into what matters.

Summarize an article, document preview, or busy conversation without changing apps.

03

Plain English

Explain the unfamiliar thing in front of you.

Get useful context for a warning, chart, receipt, form, or interface you do not recognize.

04

Your question

Ask something specific. Let the screenshot carry the context.

Choose Ask mode, say what you need, and keep the visible screen attached to the question.

How it works

Set it up once. Reach it anywhere.

3tap uses native iPhone tools, so the Shortcut stays close without adding another app to your home screen.

  1. 1

    Install the 3tap Shortcut

    Add the Shortcut and connect the private API key from your 3tap account.

  2. 2

    Assign it to Triple Tap

    Open iPhone Settings, choose Back Tap, then select the 3tap Shortcut.

  3. 3

    Tap when you need help

    Choose a mode, let 3tap capture the screen, and read the answer.

Private by intent

Nothing happens until you tap.

3tap does not watch your screen. The Shortcut only captures and sends a screenshot after you intentionally run it.

Read the privacy policy
  • Runs only when you trigger the Shortcut
  • Uses a private API key for your requests
  • Does not intentionally store original screenshots in the 3tap app database

Questions

The short answers.

Do I need an App Store app?

No. 3tap uses Apple Shortcuts and the Back Tap feature already built into iPhone.

What gets sent when I use 3tap?

Only the screenshot and instructions needed for the mode you choose. Nothing is captured until you intentionally run the Shortcut.
