Quick answer: This is a simple kanban-style board for tracking job applications: add a company and role, then move the card across Applied, Interview, Offer and Rejected columns as things progress. Everything is saved only in your browser's local storage on this device; nothing is uploaded or shared.
Add each company and role you apply to, and move it across the board as things progress. It is a lightweight way to see your whole job search at a glance, without a spreadsheet.
Everything is saved only in this browser, on this device, using your browser's own local storage. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nobody else can see it.
A note on where your data lives
Because nothing is uploaded, this tracker will not follow you to a different browser or device, and clearing your browser's site data will clear it too. For something you want to keep long-term or access from your phone and laptop both, a shared spreadsheet is more reliable; this tool is best for a quick, private view on one device.
A worked example
Example. Adding fifteen applications over a few weeks and moving three to "Interview" gives an immediate, honest picture of your response rate, which is useful for deciding whether to adjust your resume or apply more broadly.
Real-world examples
Someone applying broadly during a layoff sees at a glance that 40 applications produced only two interviews, prompting them to revisit their resume before sending more.
A candidate juggling three active interview processes uses the board to remember which stage each one is at, rather than relying on memory or digging through email.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the data to sync across devices. Local storage is specific to one browser on one device.
- Clearing browser data without exporting your list first, since this version has no export feature.
- Not updating the status promptly, which defeats the purpose of having an at-a-glance view of your search.
Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is stored locally in your browser using localStorage, and is never sent to a server.
Will I see this on my phone too?
No, not automatically. Local storage is specific to one browser on one device.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Your tracked applications will be cleared along with it. This tool does not back anything up elsewhere.
Can I export my list?
Not in this version. For long-term tracking across devices, consider also keeping a spreadsheet.
