Charting, not paperwork.

Knead is SOAP notes with a real body chart. Tap where you found it, pick a few quick phrases, and the note is done before the next client is on the table. Signed intakes, cautions that surface themselves, and clean PDF records, all kept on your device.

Just the notes, done right

Your clients tell you things they don't tell their doctors.

The practice suites want all of it on their servers, bundled with a booking system you never asked for, for $30 a month. Knead does one job: the clinical record. It does it on your device, and you buy it once.

The body chart

Tap where you found it.

Trigger point, tension, pain, spasm, numbness. Set the severity and add a note. A magnifier loupe sits under your finger so the mark lands exactly where you mean it, on the front, back, or either side.

Next visit, carry the chart forward and adjust. Six sessions in, you're looking at a visible progression, not a stack of prose.

The two-minute note.

Quick-phrase chips under every section, last session's plan on screen, and everything defaulted from last time. Chart the trigger points, type one sentence, done.

Your findings from the chart are listed right above the note, so the Objective section mostly writes itself. Pressure, modality, duration and price are one tap each.

Intake & cautions

Signed once. Never forgotten.

Health-history checklist, consent, and a fingertip signature. Update it next year and the old version stays on file, exactly as disclosed and exactly as signed.

Blood-clot history, pregnancy, that knee replacement: intake flags appear on the client's card and on every new session. The thing you must not forget refuses to be forgotten.

Session history

Every visit, at a glance.

Each client's history shows the chart thumbnail and SOAP summary for every session, newest first. Tap Repeat Last and the next session starts from where the last one left off.

Star your regulars and find anyone by name or phone in a second.

The records request, handled

One clean PDF.

When an insurer, attorney, or new provider asks, any session exports as a PDF with your letterhead, the full SOAP note, and the body chart with a findings table. The whole client record, with intake, signature and session index, exports too.

CSV export of every session is in Settings for your own archive.

Private by architecture

No cloud vendor holds your clients' health information.

Knead makes no network connections at all. There's no account and no server, so there's no Business Associate Agreement to chase, because there's no business associate. Your professional obligations are still yours; Knead just subtracts the server.

Questions from the treatment room

Is Knead HIPAA compliant?
Knead never sends your notes anywhere: there's no server, no account, and no third party holding your clients' health information, so there's no Business Associate Agreement to sign. Data on your iPhone is protected by iOS file encryption, and you can add a Face ID lock. How you handle, retain and produce records under the rules of your profession and jurisdiction is still your responsibility.
What happens if I lose my phone?
Make an encrypted backup from Settings. It's a single .kneadbook file locked with your passphrase. Keep it wherever you like, then restore it on a new iPhone or iPad. Knead reminds you when your backup is getting stale.
Does it sync between my iPhone and iPad?
No, on purpose. Client health records don't go to iCloud or any other cloud. Knead runs on both iPhone and iPad (the iPad shows the chart beside the SOAP note), and you can move everything between devices with an encrypted backup.
Can clients sign their intake on my device?
Yes. Hand them the phone or iPad: health-history checklist, consent text, and a fingertip signature. When the intake is updated, the previous signed version stays on file.
Does it do booking or payments?
No. Knead is just the notes. Keep whatever you already use for scheduling; Knead won't make you switch.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later. Buy it once and it's yours on every device signed in with your Apple Account.
