Free
QliqSOFT’s HIPAA-compliant texting app is user-friendly healthcare communication solution that help providers, care teams, and patients stay connected.

more QUICK TODOS
Send simple checklists directly from chat using the new Quick Star (Q + star) composer menu, which replaces the old QM icon and groups Quick Messages and Quick Todos. Quick Todos work in both 1:1 and group conversations — in group chats, each participant gets their own checklist instance with per-person progress visible to all. QliqCHAT delivers in-app notifications when the app is open and push notifications when it’s backgrounded, covering Todo list assignment and completion.
SOS — THREE-OPTION ESCALATION WITH HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN ACCESS
Field workers can now escalate distress more precisely and faster. The in-app SOS prompt is replaced by a three-option modal: Need Cop, Call me, and Show up. Group admins configure separate routing recipients per escalation type in Quincy → Visit Path → SOS Settings.
A new home-screen widget, Lock Screen widget, Live Activity with Dynamic Island support put the three SOS buttons directly on your home screen, and lock screen — so a field worker can trigger help without unlocking their phone or opening the app. Requires iOS 17+ for widgets and Live Activity.
Improvements
- “View More” button is more visible on long messages in both light and dark mode.
- Pinch-to-zoom now works on JPG file previews.
Bug Fixes
- Replying to a text message containing an attachment with another attachment no longer errors.
- Resolved an issue with infinite loading after app launch.
- Messages now send and sync promptly across devices without requiring reinstalls.

Channels for QliqCHAT Clinical Event Monitoring
Channels introduce a new way for care teams to monitor important patient-related events. Messages that match configured trigger phrases automatically appear in dedicated read-only channels so the right staff can stay informed without interrupting patient conversations.
Automatic Trigger-Based Routing
Messages containing predefined trigger phrases and patient context are automatically routed to the appropriate channel, helping teams quickly identify and respond to critical situations.
Dedicated Channel Feed in QliqCHAT
Subscribed users can access channels directly from their message list and view routed messages with patient context, sender information, category, priority level, and timestamps.
Filter, Manage, and Export Channel Activity
Channel feeds can be filtered by patient or date range. Users can remove false positives using the Not Relevant option and export channel data in CSV or PDF format for reporting and review.
Admin Configuration in Group Settings
Group administrators can create channels, define subscribers, and configure trigger phrases and priority levels such as FYI, ASAP, and URGENT.

Login via OIDC
We have expanded Single Sign-On (SSO) for QliqCHAT to include the OIDC standard. SSO allows users to sign in with the same credentials they already use across their organization, reducing password fatigue and improving security. OIDC is a modern authentication protocol built on OAuth 2.0, providing secure, user-friendly sign-ins and seamless identity management.
File Preview for Attachments
Added a new left and right navigation carousel when viewing attachments in conversations or from the conversation details panel. Users can now easily browse through all media and document files shared in a conversation, making it faster and more intuitive to review multiple attachments.
Improved PDF Quality
Enhanced the Snap & Sign PDF generation from mobile camera captures. PDFs now have improved clarity and resolution, reduced compression artifacts, and more consistent quality between the mobile preview and the final saved or attached PDF, improving readability across platforms.
