one-touch

Tap and done

One-touch describes actions or devices requiring only a single press or tap to operate: one-touch dialing, one-touch payment.

The term emphasizes convenience and speed—no multiple steps, no holding down buttons.

In soccer, a one-touch pass or shot is struck immediately without first controlling the ball: He scored with a brilliant one-touch finish.
