Tag and Tell

Play media with NFC tags

Free

Tag & Tell turns NFC tags and physical objects into media triggers. Place a tag on a reader and instantly play a timeline of pictures, videos, music, and YouTube. Perfect for kids, audiobooks, interactive displays, or creative projects. Build custom timelines for each tag with any combination of media. Control playback options like background audio, looping, muting, and play order. Tag & Tell supports several ways to detect tags: - Internal NFC reader (iPhone only) - External USB NFC readers (iPhone, iPad, Mac) - Bluetooth NFC readers (iPhone, iPad, Mac) - Visual tags / object detection — use physical objects as triggers without any tags (iPhone, iPad) - QR codes Tested external NFC reader (USB): - ACS ACR1552U (tested on iPhone, iPad, Mac) - Note: Some external USB readers may draw too much power for older iPhones and will not connect. Tested bluetooth NFC reader: - ACS ACR1555U (tested on iPhone, iPad, Mac) Tip for internal NFC reader: When Guided Access is enabled, the iOS NFC overlay will not appear, this allows media to display fullscreen without interruption. The internal NFC reader is not available on iPads or Macs. Use an external or Bluetooth reader instead or object detection / QR codes. Features: - Create media timelines with photos, videos, audio, Apple Music, and YouTube - Multiple tag detection methods: NFC, Bluetooth, USB, and visual - Object detection: scan real objects and use them as triggers - Resume playback from where you left off
