TsugiHS, step by step

Your internship year, laid out from the date it began — postings, logbook, leave, and the one choice in the whole year that is actually yours.

Three things before you start

What is in here
  1. Open it, and keep it
  2. Build your year
  3. Today
  4. The year
  5. The logbook
  6. Leave
  7. Ready?
  8. My goal
  9. Week
  10. Study
  11. The timer
  12. Back it up
  13. Questions

The screenshots follow one made-up intern, Dr Bhoomi, roll number 44, whose internship began on 1 April. Everything you see is invented for this manual — no real person's record appears anywhere in it.

1

Open it, and keep it

Go to tsugihs.ilanbk.ai. There is nothing to install, no account to make and nothing to pay.

Put it on your home screen so it opens like any other app and works without a signal:

iPhoneOpen it in Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen
AndroidOpen it in Chrome → ⋮ → Add to Home screen or Install app
ComputerThe install icon in the address bar, or Help → Install

Use one device and stay on it

Your entries live in the browser you typed them into. The same app on a different phone starts empty — that is not a fault, it is the privacy. To move, use a backup file (step 12).

2

Build your year

The first screen asks for one thing: the date week 1 began. Put it in, add your roll number if you like, and press Build my year.

The first screen, asking for the date week 1 begins and an optional roll number
One date is all it needs. The postings and their lengths come from the NMC schedule.

All thirteen compulsory postings plus the four elective weeks lay themselves out end to end — 52 weeks, no gaps.

Your college may run them in a different order

The lengths are fixed by the regulation. The order is not — it varies by college and by roll number, and the app cannot know yours. Check Year against your own rotation sheet and move anything that differs.

3

Today — the screen you will actually live on

This is where the app opens. It answers one question: what needs attention today.

The Today screen listing postings by state, with the current posting marked open
Each posting carries a state. Closing means it ends within a week. Closed means it has ended and something in it is still unsigned — the ones that cost people marks.

Dr Bhoomi can see at a glance that Community Medicine ended 27 days ago and still has one entry unsigned. That is the whole point of the screen: the posting is over, the consultant has moved on, and nothing else would have reminded her.

Below the postings is your day — three things to do, and one line worth remembering.

The day panel with three tasks and a takeaway note
The takeaway is yours alone. Nobody sees it, and it is not part of any record.
4

The year

Year → The year shows the whole twelve months: every posting, its week numbers and its dates, with the one you are in now marked.

The full list of postings with week numbers and dates
Thirteen postings and the electives. Check this against your college's rotation sheet once, at the start.
5

The logbook

Year → Logbook. Entries sit under the posting they belong to. Type what you did and press Add — the posting you are currently in is outlined, so it is hard to file something in the wrong place.

The logbook with entries under each posting
Add entries as you go. Trying to remember Community Medicine in March is how entries get lost.

One button, three states

Logbook entries showing to do, done and signed states
Tap the button to move an entry on: to do → done → your own record that it was signed. Tap once more to go back to the start.

What "signed" means here, exactly

It means you are recording that it was signed — nothing more. There is no account and no server, so no supervisor can sign inside this app and no signature here is worth anything to anybody. The real signature goes in whatever book your college requires. This is your tracker, so you know what is still outstanding while you can still do something about it.

There is also nowhere to type a patient's name, and that is deliberate. The NMC's own logbook format carries no patient identity, so neither does this.

6

Leave

You get fifteen days across the year, and the regulation does not allow them to be taken inside a one- or two-week posting. So most of the year is closed to leave, and the windows that remain shrink as the year goes on.

The leave line showing days left and the postings they can be taken in
Dr Bhoomi has 11 days left and five windows. By January there will be one.

Record what you have used in Year → Ready? and the line keeps itself honest.

This is arithmetic, not permission

It shows where leave fits. Your college grants it, not this app.

7

Ready?

One question: is anything behind me still unsigned?

The Ready page summarising unsigned entries and leave used
It counts only postings that have ended. What is still running is not late yet.

It also tells you plainly that it has verified nothing — it is doing sums on what you typed, and nobody has checked it against your college's requirements.

8

My goal

Year → Goal holds where you are trying to get to, counts down to your exam, and watches the one decision in the year that is genuinely yours.

The goal page with specialty, route and an exam countdown
181 days to NEET-PG. The countdown is here; the subjects and revision are in Study.

The elective is the only part you choose

Forty-eight of your fifty-two weeks are fixed by the regulation and handed out by roll number. Four are yours. When those weeks are within a month and you still have not decided, the app says so on Today — because that decision is usually made by whatever is convenient rather than by where you are actually trying to go.

It will never tell you what to aim for

No rankings, no estimate of your chances, no suggestions. The app knows nothing about you, and a confident guess about somebody's career is worse than silence. It holds your goal; it does not have an opinion about it.

9

Week

Drag something onto a day, or press Plan and it drops into the next free slot.

The weekly planner with tasks and time blocks
For the things that are not clinical: the report, the reading, the presentation.
10

Study

Type your own subjects and topics. Tick a topic off and it comes back for revision at 1, 3, 7 and 21 days — the spacing that actually makes things stick.

The study tab with subjects, topics and revision dates
No syllabus is supplied. You type what you are studying, which is why it fits whatever you are preparing for.

Set your exam date and it will name the subject that cannot be finished in time if you carry on at the pace you are going.

11

The timer

There is no timer tab, on purpose. Start one from a block in Week and it runs in the corner while you carry on using the app.

The small timer running in the corner
25 minutes of focus, then a break. The plan is the point; the timer is a tool inside it.

If you want the timer to be the app — a dial, breaks, wallpapers, a focus streak — that is a different product of ours called HSFocus, at focus.ilanbk.ai. Same engine, built around the clock instead of the year.

12

Back it up — the one step that matters most

Settings → Your data.

The Your data section of Settings with backup and export buttons
The line at the top tells you when you last backed up, and turns amber after a week.

Understand this before you enter a year of work

Your entries exist in one browser on one device. There is no copy anywhere else, because we hold nothing about you.

  • Clearing your browser's site data deletes everything
  • Losing or wiping the phone deletes everything
  • We cannot restore any of it, for anybody, ever

Back up in your first week, not your last.

How

  1. Back up now — saves a file to your downloads.
  2. On Chrome or Edge, Set up automatic backup: hand it a file once and it keeps writing to it by itself. Safari has no way to do this, so there you tap Back up now.
  3. Lock backups with a passphrase before you put the file in Google Drive or OneDrive. Locked, it is scrambled and whoever holds it cannot read a word. Unlocked, it is plain readable text.

If you lock it, do not forget the passphrase

There is no reset. We hold nothing about you, so nobody — including us — can open that file without it. Write it down somewhere that is not the phone it came from.

Moving to another device

Export my data on the old one, then Restore a backup on the new one. Your own photos and music are not included in the file.

On a phone

Which is where most of this will actually happen.

Questions

Does it work without internet?

Yes, once you have opened it once. Add it to your home screen and it keeps working on a ward with no signal. Nothing is uploaded at any point, with or without a connection.

Is this the official logbook? Can my HOD sign it?

No, and no. There is no account and no server, so nobody can sign anything inside the app. Keep whatever your college requires in the form it requires. This is the tracker beside it.

My college runs the postings in a different order.

Expected — the order varies by college and roll number. The lengths come from the regulation; the order is yours to set in Year.

Can someone else see my entries?

Not over the internet — nothing is sent anywhere. But anyone who can unlock your phone and open the browser can read what is in it, in this version. Keep a screen lock on the device.

Is it free? Will it start charging?

It is a free trial version. If that ever changes you will not lose what you have entered — it is on your device, and the backup file is yours.

Something is wrong, or I have an idea.

Write to support@ilanbk.ai. Tell us the phone and browser you are using. Please do not include anything about a patient.
