SIWES logbook app

The SIWES logbook app for Nigerian students

Writing your SIWES logbook every night is tiring, and a weak logbook makes your report and defence harder. Lynktern turns your rough daily notes into clear logbook entries, gets them reviewed by your supervisor, and drafts your SIWES report from what you logged.

How the logbook app works

  1. Step 1

    Note what you did

    At the end of each day, type a few rough points about your work: tasks, tools, what you learnt.

  2. Step 2

    Get a proper entry

    Lynktern drafts a clear logbook entry in the formal, first-person past-tense style supervisors expect. Edit it until it says exactly what you did.

  3. Step 3

    Submit for sign-off

    Send entries to your industry or school supervisor in the app. They approve them or ask for changes, and you can see the status of every entry.

  4. Step 4

    Draft your report

    When your placement ends, your SIWES technical report is drafted from the entries you logged, ready for you to review and finish.

Everything your SIWES logbook needs

Daily and weekly logbook

Entries organised by week and day, the way your physical logbook is laid out, with photos of your work attached where you need them.

Supervisor review

Supervisors approve entries or request revisions with comments, so problems are fixed during placement, not the week before submission.

SIWES report drafter

Title page, acknowledgement, abstract, weekly summaries, skills, challenges, recommendations and conclusion, drafted from your own entries.

Defence preparation

Practise likely questions on your SIWES work before your presentation or viva.

  • Built for Nigerian universities and polytechnics
  • Works on any phone browser, no download
  • Your entries stay private to you and your supervisors

SIWES logbook app: common questions

Is Lynktern a replacement for my official SIWES logbook?

No. Your institution's ITF logbook and forms remain the official record. Lynktern helps you write good entries every day, keep them organised, and get them reviewed, so filling your official logbook and writing your report is easy.

Does it work for Industrial Training (IT) as well as SIWES?

Yes. Whether your school calls it SIWES, IT or industrial attachment, the daily logbook, supervisor review and report work the same way.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Lynktern runs in your phone or laptop browser. On most phones you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Is it free?

The core logbook tools are free. A one-time Premium payment unlocks more AI generations and your report download for the whole placement.

Will the AI write things I did not do?

It only works from the notes you give it, and you review every entry before saving. Your logbook should describe your real work, so always check and correct the draft.
