Finger-Ink Kiosk and Forms
Patient Check-In for Cliniko
Free
Trusted by 550+ allied health clinics across Australia, NZ, UK and North America. Over 1.5 million forms processed and 1 million patient check-ins.
Finger-Ink turns your iPad into a branded patient check-in station — no receptionist required.
Built for allied health clinics running on Cliniko. Patients arrive, check in on the iPad, and your team gets notified. Forms and check-in sync directly to the Cliniko patient record. No clipboards, no manual data entry, no chasing incomplete paperwork. Also available for Nookal & others!
What your patients see
A branded check-in screen that matches your clinic — not a default template. Themed forms with your logo, colours, and typography. An interaction pattern patients already know from self-service kiosks elsewhere.
What your team gets
• Time back at reception
• Notifications when patients arrive
• Complete intake data, synced to Cliniko
• Custom fields, referral sources, gender, pronouns, privacy policy — all wired in
• Conditional logic, calculation fields, body charts, video fields, signatures, and policy consent
Why a native iPad matters
Finger-Ink Kiosk is the only Cliniko connected app with a purpose-built native iPad kiosk. That means Apple Guided Access mode, so the iPad stays on the check-in screen. Offline form queuing, so check-ins never fail silently when the network drops. A web shortcut can't do this.
Built for Cliniko. Also for Nookal & others
Cliniko is the home ecosystem. The integration is deep, complete, and maintained. Nookal is supported, with further practice management system integrations in development.
Reliable, simple, set and forget.
Trusted by 550+ allied health clinics across Australia, NZ, UK and North America. 2,400+ practitioners. Over 1.5 million forms processed. More than 1 million patient check-ins.
more Mostly a maintenance release with a few quality-of-life changes:

- Re-activates Intercom's chat bubble so you can chat to us within the app again!
8.2.0 Jun 6
Adding to the awesomeness of 8.0.0 (with a fully brandable kiosk), we've got 8.1.0 — with some nice quality of life improvements:
- Re-connection back to the portal after long periods of disconnection (e.g. if the WiFi was turned off) is now more reliable.
- The new inactivity timer we added (to prevent abandoned forms from preventing the next check-in) is now configurable from within the portal.
- Kiosk settings can now be manually refreshed from the iPad if you think they're not quite what's in the portal.
- The order of forms in your form requirements during check-in are now respected.
Enjoy!
8.1.0 Jan 9
Version 8 is a big one for kiosk.
You can now fully theme your iPad kiosk so it actually feels like your clinic, not generic software. Your colours, your look, your vibe. You can run an animated background in your brand colours, or rotate through images you choose — your space, your team, whatever you want patients to see when they walk in. This turns the kiosk from a utility into a small but real branding moment.
We also fixed a bunch of real-world kiosk annoyances. Forms now time out if they’re left half-done, progress messages are clearer, the kiosk intro looks better, and you can see exactly how check-in is configured before you launch. Fewer “wait, what will patients see?” moments.
One important fix worth calling out: if someone booked an appointment via the “I’m not here to check in” button and chose to save their details, those details could show up for the next person starting a booking. That’s obviously not ideal. It’s now fully fixed — details are always cleared for the next person, no matter what the previous patient selected.
Behind the scenes, we’ve tightened up connectivity checks and refreshed our Swift packages so everything keeps running smoothly.
Version 8.0.1 allows SVG logos & fixes the size of your logo in kiosk mode.
