Job Application Tracker

How do I keep track of my job applications?

Add each job you apply for, set a follow-up date, and see at a glance what needs attention.

About this tool & how to use it

What it does

Keep a list of the jobs you applied for, their status and when to follow up. Saved only in your browser, never sent to us.

How to use it

  1. Type a company, a job title or both, choose a status and the date you applied.
  2. Optionally set a follow-up date and add a note, then press Add to my list.
  3. Change a status or follow-up date any time from the list. Late and due-today follow-ups are marked for you.

Your list is saved only in this browser, on this device. It is never sent to us. Clearing your browser data, or using another browser or device, starts a fresh list.

Nothing tracked yet. Add your first application above.

      Everything stays in your browser. "Follow up" dates are reminders you set for yourself; the page only compares them with today's date. It does not predict or improve your chances.

      How it works

      Your list is kept in your browser's local storage on this device. It is never sent to us, and the site's own usage counts record only that the tool was used, never what you typed.

      A follow-up is "late" when its date is before today, "due today" when it is today, and "soon" when it falls in the next 7 days. Jobs marked Accepted, Rejected or Withdrawn are never flagged.

      Entries are sorted with the nearest follow-up first, then by the most recent date applied.

      Assumptions

      • The list lives only in this browser. Clearing your browser data, or using another browser or device, starts a fresh list. Use Copy list to keep a copy somewhere else.
      • The status is whatever you choose. The tracker does not check with any employer, predict an outcome or suggest how likely you are to hear back.
      • Follow-up dates are reminders you set for yourself; the page only compares them with today's date on your device. It does not send reminders.
      • The list holds up to 200 jobs.

      Example

      Input: Three jobs added to the list

      Result: You are tracking 3 jobs, 3 still open. 1 follow-up is past the date you set. 1 follow-up is planned for today.

      Questions

      Where is my list saved?

      In your own browser, on this device only. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and there is no account.

      Will it remind me?

      No. It marks follow-ups that are late or due when you open the page, but it does not send emails or notifications.

      How do I delete everything?

      Press Clear all, then press it again to confirm. You can also clear this site's data in your browser settings.

      When should I follow up?

      There is no single rule. The Follow-Up Timing Helper suggests a time based on where you are in the process.
