Job Application Tracker

Every application, one board. Log a company the second you apply, then drag it through Wishlist → Applied → Interviewing → Offer → Closed as things move. Set a follow-up date and the board will nudge you when it's due. Everything stays on this device: no account, no login, nothing sent anywhere.

Why a board beats a mental list

Job searching gets stressful fast when the only place tracking it happens is your memory — "did I already follow up with them? did I even apply there?" This board keeps every application visible in one place, so a quiet week doesn't feel like nothing is happening and a busy week doesn't feel like everything is a blur.

Set a follow-up date when you apply, and cards flag themselves with a small "follow-up due" tag once that date arrives — one less thing to hold in your head while you're already juggling interviews, research, and everything else a job search asks of you.

Frequently asked questions

How many jobs should I be applying to at once?

There's no universal number, but most job search coaches suggest keeping somewhere between 5 and 15 applications actively moving at once — enough that one rejection doesn't derail your week, not so many that you can't remember who you spoke to. A board like this one makes the actual count visible instead of a vague, anxious guess.

How soon should I follow up after applying?

A common rule of thumb is one to two weeks after applying if you haven't heard anything, and a short, polite note within 24-48 hours after an interview. Setting a follow-up date the moment you apply — rather than trying to remember later — is the easiest way to actually do it.
