Your own practice, without the rooms.
Synapp is the practice in your pocket — send prescriptions, sick notes, lab requests and invoices to the people who already turn to you for medical advice, and the ones they send your way.
Where most doctors get stuck
Inside someone else’s practice
- As a locum: an hourly wage, no matter how many patients you see
- As a sessional: half the fee, and no say in who gets booked with you
- A patient list and relationships that belong to the practice, not you
Inside your own practice
- Rent and salaries due whether the patients come or not
- Staff, suppliers, billing — work that isn’t medicine
- Less take-home pay than your skills are worth, in a practice you can’t leave
Doctors are stuck in a grind, and patients are getting briefer visits with doctors who don’t know them, slowly losing faith in primary care — the standard model has failed both.
A different kind of practice is still possible — long relationships with the people who already turn to you, patients you actually know, and care that builds on itself visit after visit.
What you get without a fee to split or rooms to run
The full fee, paid directly to you — what your patient pays is what you make, because no one takes a cut and you have no overhead to fund.
Simple, fast, on any device — scripts, sick notes and lab requests go out in seconds, from your phone, laptop or tablet.
Free to practise from anywhere — Synapp is a proper clinical tool, so you can practise from a checkout queue, a kitchen table or a consulting room.

What this looks like
The medicine where you actually know your patients
See each patient for as long as they need, and stay with them over years — their history, their family, the context behind a complaint. Set your own fees for the care you give, paid directly to you.
The income you keep when there’s no rent or staff to pay
A standard 15-minute GP consult in SA is R500–R700, more for longer visits. One paying patient a day, five days a week, is R10,000–R14,000 a month. Two doubles it — or run weekly or monthly consultations toward a patient goal, at fees you choose.
From doctors using Synapp
Best user interface of any medical software I’ve used, by far. It’s so easy to send scripts.
I love the long term rating scale monitoring feature. It’s so nice to visualise treatment responses with the prescribed meds shown in the charts.
I use the mental health features a lot. Being able to send rating scales to patients through WhatsApp that they can complete on their own phones makes it so easy to manage treatment by using responses as a reference point.
