Write your block year down once
A block schedule is a quiet-moment job that pays off every day after. Write the year down once and the forward-looking numbers stop guessing.

Open Settings → Rotation schedule
Thirteen blocks. Each one is a label, a start date, an end date, and — optionally — the hospital you are at. That is the whole model.

One block arms the next
After you save a block the tray stays up with the next span already proposed and the hospital carried forward, so a year is a run of taps rather than thirteen trips through a form. The proposed dates are printed on the button before you commit to them.

Gaps are visible
A coverage bar across the top draws the year as a shape. Overlaps were always warned about; a week nobody covered used to be invisible, and now it is the obvious hole in the bar.

What it actually changes
A new case opens at the hospital the schedule says you were at that day, and the body of the form leads with what that rotation asks for. What is loggable, what is counted, and what is saved never change — the schedule is not written onto the case.
It never claims to know where you are. It says what the schedule you wrote says, and a case you backdate resolves against that month's blocks, not today's.

It shows up where you log
The Log tab carries a small chip naming the block you are in, and the pace hints it offers are the ones that block can act on — a nudge you could not do anything about this week stays quiet instead.

Skipping it costs you nothing
The app never interrupts you to ask for it, and it fires nothing when you are not looking at it. A resident who never opens this page gets exactly today's behavior.
Your schedule stays on your device and rides the encrypted backup. It is not synced, not published, and not exported.
