Track your applications
Run My Applications as your tracker: list or board, five statuses, the ten-job limit, the two progress measures, and deleting a job for good.
My Applications is the tracker: every job you have added, the stage each one has reached, how much of each you have prepared, and where you clear out the ones you have stopped chasing.
List or board
Open Applications in the sidebar. The toggle in the toolbar switches views, and the app remembers which you chose. Each row carries the compatibility score, the status and a progress ring, with the score coloured green from 80, orange from 60 and red below that. The board is five columns of cards, one per status, on desktop only. Either way, clicking a row or a card opens the job on its Job Summary tab.
Ten jobs on the free plan
Starter tracks ten applications, and a banner counts what you are using. Jobs past the tenth carry a padlock instead of opening. The padlock goes by position in the list, so sorting or filtering changes which ten you can get into. Delete a job you have ruled out to free a slot, or lift the limit on Premium or Max; see pricing.
Move a job along
The statuses run Saved, Applied, Interviewing, Offer and Rejected, and every job starts at Saved. Change one from the dropdown on its row, by dragging a card between board columns, or from the dropdown in the top bar with the application open.
Keep it current. The action checklist hands you the tasks for whatever stage the job says it is in, so a status left behind gives you the wrong ones.
Progress ring and Progress %
The ring on each row fills in thirds on its own and counts three things: the job summary exists, a resume is attached, the application kit exists. A full ring means the application is prepared. It says nothing about whether you sent it.
Progress {n}% in the top bar of an open application is the other measure, and you tick that one yourself. Press it and the Action Checklist opens over the workspace with the status dropdown, a black progress bar and the items worth doing at this stage. At Saved they run from "Complete Job Summary Details" to "Confirm the application submission deadline", and some carry a Go to link that drops you on the tab where that work happens. The percentage is the share of the current list you have ticked.
Change the status and the items are replaced with the ones for the new stage. Ticks stay with their own stage, so moving forward hands you a fresh list rather than a finished one.
Delete an application
Deleting takes the job and everything built on it: the job summary, the compatibility analysis, the company research, the resume tailored for this job, the cover letter, the outreach emails and the interview prep. There is no undo and nothing to restore from. The resume you tailored from survives, because tailoring copies it, and the copy is what goes.
- Press the ⋯ menu on the row or the board card and choose Delete.
- Read the Confirm delete? dialog: "This will delete this application and all of its related data, including the resume, cover letter etc. This action cannot be reverted."
- Press Confirm, or Cancel to back out.
"Application deleted successfully" appears and the row goes. Download the tailored resume and the cover letter from their own tabs first, because after the delete they exist nowhere.
Tips
- Move a job to Applied the moment you send it. That is the status people forget.
- Setting a job to Rejected keeps the record and the work, which is worth having if you apply to the same employer again.
- A half-filled ring on a job you have already applied for usually means no resume is attached to it.
- Delete the roles you have ruled out, not the ones that have gone quiet. A fortnight of silence is not a rejection.
