PinTap is live on iOS and Android

The PinTap app is now available on the App Store and Google Play — tap a Smart Pin, claim it, and watch your collection come alive.

PinTap — the joint venture between ThreadTap, Inc. and PCB Productions — is now available on the App Store and Google Play.

PinTap turns the pins people collect in real life into a living digital collection. Every PinTap pin carries a secure NFC chip: one tap verifies it’s real and claims it to your account. No typing, no codes.

What you can do in the app

  • Scan, claim, collect. Tap a PinTap-enabled pin and it’s instantly yours — verified authentic and added to your collection.
  • Build, showcase, share. Arrange pins on custom boards, build themed collections, track progress and share your showcase.
  • Claim exclusive pins. Limited-edition and event pins unlock experiences, achievements and rewards.
  • Earn PinPoints. Unlock badges and rewards as your collection grows.

On iPhone, an App Clip makes the very first tap effortless — you can claim a pin before installing the full app. PinTap works on iPhones running iOS 18 or later and NFC-capable Android phones running Android 8.0 or later.
