Need a Form, Not an App? Choose ChatterForms.

Create intake, registration, and request forms without building a separate application. Start with a prompt or document, add the fields you need, and publish a link or website embed.

Start with the form you need.

Describe your questions or upload an existing form. Work directly on the fields, wording, and respondent experience.

Collect the next action, too.

Add an agreement signature, a Stripe payment, or a Calendly booking when your form needs more than written answers.

Manage responses, not an application.

Review submissions in ChatterForms and export the information you need. Stay focused on collecting the form rather than maintaining a custom app.

Start with one form.

  • Bring a blank PDF, an image, or an accessible public form URL. Review the generated draft, configure the features you need, and test it before publishing.
  • Form conversion does not migrate historical responses, account settings, or integrations.

When this is not the right replacement

Stay with Knack if:

  • You need a relational database, internal app, or client portal
  • You are modeling connected records, not collecting a form
  • Knack Health's application platform is the job you are hiring for
