How it works

Three taps from box to bop

1

Register a card

Switch to registration mode and tap any NFC card to the back of your phone. JukeNFC reads its unique ID.

2

Assign a sound

Pick an audio file from your phone — MP3, WAV or M4A. It’s copied into the app and stored locally.

3

Tap to play

Switch to play mode. Every tap of that card plays its sound. Tap another card and the first one stops.

Private by design

Everything stays on your phone

No servers, no syncing, no strings. JukeNFC keeps your cards and sounds entirely on-device — so it just works, and it stays yours.

Your own files

Import MP3, WAV or M4A straight from your phone. Files are copied into the app and live on the device.

No internet

JukeNFC never goes online. Tap-to-play works in airplane mode, in a basement — anywhere.

No cloud

Cards, sounds and settings sit in a local database on the phone. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

No account

No sign-up, no email, no login. Install the app and start tapping right away.

Use cases

One tap, endless play

A phone, a stack of cards, and a little imagination. Here’s where JukeNFC shines.

Kids & learning

Tap an animal card → animal sound. Flashcards that talk, sing, and count.

Accessibility

Communication boards where physical cards trigger spoken phrases.

Events & kiosks

Leave a phone in kiosk mode; visitors tap cards at exhibits and stands.

Tabletop & games

Character or item cards that play themed audio cues at the table.

Soundboards

Quick, physical triggers for effects, jingles, and cues on demand.

…and whatever you dream up

Any card. Any sound. It’s your soundboard.

Features

Small app. Big bag of tricks.

Phone’s own NFC antenna

No external reader hardware needed. Just tap and go.

Your own sound library

Import MP3, WAV or M4A. Files are copied in and stored locally.

Two clear modes

Registration to add cards, Play to use them — with a guard so you never leave setup by accident.

Instant playback

A new tap stops the current sound and starts the next. One sound at a time.

Background & lock screen

Audio keeps playing when backgrounded, with media controls and the sound name on the lock screen.

Kiosk-friendly

Keeps the screen awake and resumes listening — ideal for an always-on tap station.

Fully offline

No server, no internet. A local database and files — that’s it.

Live reader status

See at a glance whether NFC is listening, ready, off, or unsupported.

Your library

Every card is a little button

Give each card a name and a sound from your own files. Tap to play in the app — tap a card here to preview.

One sound at a time

Turn any card into a sound

Free to try. Works fully offline. Just install and start tapping — no account, no setup.

Android only — iOS can’t listen for NFC continuously.
