Tack Blog

In 2025, it’s an odd feeling to have a barrier in front of you technologically.

So many things are butter-smooth, interconnected, and work intuitively. Things like online shopping are so streamlined it’s effortless. Things like maps, AI-enhanced workflows, and messaging platforms are basically extensions of our own psyches at this point. We’re so connected to the world around us, that it can feel almost jarring when an opportunity presents itself in the form of a frustrating workflow, or unexpected barrier in the world of technology.

One such barrier is the exact barrier that birthed Tack as a concept.

The difficulty of sharing digital content on the spot – online or in-person – regardless of our current social circle(s). If you’re not in the same messaging group, already friends on a given platform, or given a direct invite by someone, there is no easy way for you to hand someone digital content.

Some social platforms have a QR system which feels relatively easy, but even then you’re several clicks away from sharing anything meaningful.

AirDrop exists, but is an Apple-exclusive, and is mostly for photos/files. There is no way to present a cohesive picture of yourself, your company, etc. in a way that feels engaging. It’s just a raw file dump among iOS enjoyers.

Tack came to be because there was a blatant gap in the market for an easy sharing solution across any platform, between any user, and among any number of people. A digital glue for any event, webinar, classroom, or other group of individuals who need to receive & share information quickly in a format that’s easy to consume & re-share.

Tack is not something that I use every day, but it’s something that feels so obvious once you use it, that you feel almost naked without it. Every time I use it, I chuckle at how I used to email links or files to myself, or ask people for their number to text a link to something.

It just feels right to whip out a single page and share it instantly via QR for anything I’m trying to share; pitch materials, resources, my personal portfolio, even recipes. I never have to remember a link again, and my entire link collection is available on every device I own, and easy to update from anywhere.
