Physical Craft,
Digital Soul.
Where beautiful things connect.
Every Charis product embedded with a smart tag is more than a beautiful object — it's a living bridge between the physical world and the digital experiences behind it. Update what it does from anywhere, at any time, without ever touching it again.
Two crafts. One object.
Charis Studios and Tapped came together around a shared conviction: that the most meaningful objects in your life shouldn't have to stay silent.
We design and craft physical objects with intention — things made to be held, used, and treasured. Every material choice, every edge, every finish is considered. That care doesn't stop at the surface.
Tapped makes physical objects intelligent and connected. Their platform turns embedded NFC tags and QR codes into dynamic, programmable experiences — updated in real time, from anywhere, forever.
Together, we've built something that wasn't possible before: physical products that never stop being useful, never stop telling your story, and never need to be replaced.
Meet the Porter
A Porter is the smart tag embedded in your Charis product — an NFC chip or QR code linked to a permanent, unique URL. The tag never changes. Everything it does can.
One tag. Infinite possibilities.
Traditional QR codes are static — once printed, they point to one destination forever. A Porter is different. Each tag carries a permanent, unique URL that resolves dynamically every time it's scanned.
That means you can connect a product to a URL today, swap it to a video tomorrow, and set it to show a contact card next week — all from your Tapped dashboard, instantly, with no reprinting and no new tags.
Porters support NFC taps and QR code scans equally. One tag, both channels, always the same experience.
Tap to experience in three steps
From the moment someone taps your product to the moment they see your content — all of this happens in under a second.
The product is tapped or scanned
Someone holds their phone to the NFC tag embedded in your Charis product, or points
their camera at the QR code. Their device opens the Porter's permanent URL —
charis.ink/[ID].
Tapped resolves the experience
In real time, Tapped looks up what you've assigned to that Porter — a URL, a video, WiFi credentials, a contact card, a custom form, or anything else — applying your routing rules, schedules, and logic.
The right experience is delivered
The person is instantly taken to exactly what you intended — no app, no friction, no delay. And you can change that experience at any time from your dashboard without touching the physical product.
