Plan tomorrow, log in a tap

The night-before planner replaces the OR list in your notes app. Build tomorrow's cases once, and each one is ready to log the moment it's done.

1. 1

   Build tomorrow's board

   Open the planner and add tomorrow's cases, or paste the morning OR board and let Capnolog mint a card per case. The default date is tomorrow, so you're set up in seconds.

2. 2

   Start from a template — or your usual drugs

   Pick a template so the anesthetic, lines, and role are pre-filled. Once you've planned a few of a kind of case, Capnolog learns your regimen — tap “Apply my usual drugs” to fill all five drug fields (pre-op through post-op) at once.

3. 3

   Or dictate the whole plan, hands-free

   Tap the mic and speak the plan in one go — from the room and attending through your post-op drugs. The fields advance as you talk, and you can say “next,” “back,” or “skip.” Every word is parsed on your iPhone.

4. 4

   Pick, don't type

   Room, site, and attending come from your own lists as dropdowns, and drugs are one tap — there's nothing to hand-type at 9 PM.

5. 5

   Patient details stay encrypted and private

   Anything patient-specific lives in an encrypted block, separate from your de-identified log. It's never part of a shared file or your ACGME export, and it leaves your phone only inside your end-to-end-encrypted iCloud backup — readable on your own devices alone.

6. 6

   Log it tomorrow

   When the case is done, confirm it to log a de-identified case in one tap. When several are ready, tap “Log all ready” to log the whole day at once — it only includes cases that are complete and dated today, so nothing logs by accident.

   Confirming a plan logs the case and then erases the structured patient block, history, and diagnosis automatically; the free-text procedure name and your plan notes are kept for review, so keep patient identifiers out of those two fields.

A plan only counts toward your totals once you've logged it — planning never inflates your numbers.
