Director's Digital Notebook
The first Assamese software of its kind
The director’s notebook for a whole production. Keep the script with your notes, block every scene on a ground plan and in 3D, run rehearsals, and gather the work of the six AANK studios in one place.
The web app opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. Install it from its start page and it works without internet. The offline file (1.8 MB) is for computers.
Launch: Sunday 25 October 2026, 5:30 PM, at the inaugural ceremony of BBITF 2026
Sri Sri Madhavadeva International Auditorium, Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra, Guwahati

- Ground plan and 3D for proscenium, thrust, arena, black box, open air and the Namghar
- Blocking beats placed on the stage

Gathers the work of the six studios
SILPA KUTIR, XUNPAKHILI, BURHA LUIT, AAROHAN, SRINIBARAN and KUMSUNG send their work to XUDHAKANTHA, which keeps the whole production together: cast, scenes, script, stage, designs and cue sheets. Send it back to any of them with Send to.
Choose Send to in one app, then Open from in the other. On aank.org the work moves across at once; elsewhere it travels as an .aank file.
Guides and downloads
Read the Installation Guide first: it shows how to open, install and keep your work safe on a computer, a phone or a tablet.
Devices
Works in Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers, tablets and phones, with or without internet. Phones are good for viewing and small changes; for full work use a laptop or desktop with Chrome or Edge.
Your work stays on your device
Everything you make is kept on your own device. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. The app keeps automatic backups; save a .ddn file now and then as well.
Scan with your phone camera to open the web app.
