Every application in one place. It works out your follow-up dates and flags the jobs that went quiet. No sign-up.

Your tracker

Add each job when you apply. The tracker fills in the follow-up date, flag anything that has gone quiet for 14 days, and keep your numbers up to date.

How the tracker helps

Four small habits that keep a job search moving.

Follow up at 7 daysThe follow-up date is the day you applied plus 7. When it comes around, the job is marked "Follow up now".
Move on at 14 daysA job still at Applied after 14 days is flagged "No reply in 14+ days". Send one last note, then put your time into new applications.
Watch your reply rateReplies divided by applications. If it stays low after 20 or so applications, the resume or the job targets usually need work.
Keep a copyExport CSV saves everything to a file you own. Import CSV brings it back on a new phone or computer.

Prefer a spreadsheet?

A similar layout for Excel or Google Sheets. Its first nine columns match the tracker's Export CSV, so you can paste an export straight in, and a Flag column follows. The follow-up date, the 14-day flag and a "Your numbers" box work out by themselves with formulas. Replies count the same way as here: set Furthest stage before you close a job and its reply still counts. It opens in Google Sheets, Excel and Numbers.
