Check-in for private practices & one-on-one businesses

Your client is here.
We’ll let you know.

A simple private practice check-in system: clients scan a QR code with their own phone, and you get a quiet text the moment they arrive. No front desk, no tablet, no peeking into the lobby.

They use their own phone’s camera, with no app to download and nothing to touch.

3

You get a quiet text

A discreet alert reaches the right provider within seconds of arrival.

Why practices switch

FAQ

Common questions

Do my clients need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code with their phone’s camera and tap their provider’s name.

Do I need any equipment?

No tablets or kiosks. Just print your QR code and put it where clients will see it.

How does private practice check-in work without a front desk?

Clients scan your QR code when they arrive and tap your name. You get a discreet text within seconds, so you can finish up and greet them when you’re ready. No receptionist, no tablet, and nothing for clients to download.

What do I need to get started?

Just your practice name, your providers’ names, and how each provider wants to be notified. If you choose text alerts, use a direct cell number rather than a forwarding number like Google Voice, so messages arrive reliably. You can add your logo, headshots, and a background image anytime. See our step-by-step setup guide.

How do providers get notified?

By text, email, or push notification — your choice. Each provider in your practice can set their own preference in the dashboard.

Is it HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Alerts contain no client names or details, everything is SSL-encrypted on AWS HIPAA-eligible infrastructure, and we carry Technology E&O liability coverage. BAAs are available on request.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial, and you can cancel whenever you like.

Ready for a quieter waiting room?

Set up in minutes. Free for 14 days.

About

A smiling woman and man sitting at a table, close-up selfie in a well-lit indoor setting.

Meet Chelsea and Steven, the husband and wife team behind Check-In App. It started when a friend asked Steven to build a simple check-in system for his private practice - and we realized every small practice deserved something this simple. We're based in Orange County, California and we built this for practitioners like you.
