The overview

A little less work. A better starting point.

A kanban board for the job hunt: saved, applied, interviewing, offer, rejected, with the date each application entered each stage, follow-up reminders, interview notes and a funnel that shows where applications actually die. Free, and it lives on your device.

01 / Capabilities

What it does

  • Stage history that stays true

    Each move records its date, and moving a job backwards prunes the records beyond it, so the history always describes the present rather than accumulating fiction.

  • Follow-ups that arrive

    Reminders per application, days-in-stage on every card, and a view of what has gone quiet and needs a nudge.

  • A funnel worth reading

    Applications, replies, interviews and offers as ratios, so the answer to a slow month is a number rather than a feeling.

  • Interview notes attached

    Notes, questions asked and people met live with the application instead of in a separate document you will not find again.

  • Spreadsheets in and out

    Import a CSV or XLSX you already keep, with flexible column mapping, and export the whole board back out whenever you want it elsewhere.

02 / The workflow

How to use it

  1. Save jobs from the search, or add them by hand with a URL.
  2. Move a card to applied when you send it; the date is recorded for you.
  3. Set a follow-up reminder for anything that has gone quiet.
  4. Keep interview notes on the card while they are fresh.
  5. Read the funnel monthly and change what the numbers say to change.

03 / Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is the tracker free?

Yes, entirely. It is part of the free app and works with a local profile, whose data never leaves your device.

Can I import my spreadsheet?

Yes. CSV and XLSX import with flexible column mapping, so your existing sheet does not have to be reshaped first.

Does it sync between devices?

Only if you want it to. An optional online account adds encrypted sync; a local profile stays on the one device.
