What Our Users Are Saying

“Knack is instrumental in the daily running of the business. It literally runs every facet of our company. In the beginning, it probably took me three or four days to build out a new section. Now I can build something new in under an hour.”

JD Worley

Curetech CEO

“The two things that were really a game changer for me with the Knack software platform was that they were keeping up with the HIPAA rules and regulations. There was a big change last year and they were keeping up with the change.”

Joe Luzi

Joe Luzi

Social Health Research Founder

“Knack allows an enormous amount of flexibility but is also very robust. Usually, robustness is compromised when you introduce malleability, but in Knack’s case, I haven’t experienced that.”

Healthcare App Builder FAQs

What sets Knack apart from other healthcare app builders?

Knack combines built-in HIPAA compliance, enterprise-grade security, scalability, and powerful AI app-building tools in one platform at a significantly lower cost than most healthcare-focused solutions. Unlike many tools that specialize only in automations or components, Knack enables fully customizable, production-ready healthcare applications that scale with little-to-no maintenance.

Yes. Knack offers built-in HIPAA compliance, including encrypted data storage and transfer, role-based permissions, audit trails, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), so healthcare teams can manage protected health information without custom infrastructure.

Knack’s AI helps teams build complete healthcare applications, including data models, workflows, and user experiences, using text prompts, a visual editor, or pre-built templates. Many other platforms limit AI to automation logic, components, or early-stage prototypes.

Knack uses transparent, flat pricing that scales by features; not usage, users, or data volume. This makes it easier for healthcare organizations to budget and grow without unexpected cost increases common in enterprise healthcare software.

With Knack, you can build a wide range of HIPAA-ready healthcare apps, including patient portals, intake and referral systems, care coordination tools, internal operations apps, dashboards, custom workflows, and more. The only limit is your imagination!
