Free job application tracker templates.

Four formats, one job tracker design: 17 columns, ten status stages, and a dashboard that counts your pipeline for you. These are the manual versions — you type, they hold. Erioun is the version you never have to update: replies file themselves under the right role and the status moves on its own.

What makes this one different

Most free job application tracker templates are a blank grid with a status column. This one does four things on its own.

A dashboard that counts itself

Eight live counters — applications, still alive, heard back, interviews, offers, offer rate, this month, and how many things need you today. Under them: your pipeline across all ten stages, the next things due, and four charts covering months, sources, countries and work mode. You never type a number into it.

A column that spots ghosting

Quiet counts the days since anything last happened on each application — their reply if there was one, otherwise the day you applied. Amber at 14 days, red at 21, blank once it's closed. It is the one thing a spreadsheet can genuinely work out on your behalf, and most templates don't.

Follow-ups that refuse to be forgotten

Every row gets a next step and a due date. Overdue dates turn red, today's turn amber, and the Dashboard lists whatever is soonest. It also counts the live applications you've left without a next step — the ones that quietly fall out of a job search.

Nothing to install, nothing phoning home

No macros, no add-ons, no scripts, and — in the standard file — not a single request to the internet. Nothing about who you're applying to leaves your machine. No email address is required to download it either.

What's inside

The columns that answer “what did I send, to whom, and what's next?” — and not one more. Two of them fill themselves in.

Every morning

The block that drives your day — and it fits on any screen without scrolling sideways.

Company
Who you applied to.
Position
The exact title from the posting.
Status
One of ten stages, Saved through Archived. Colour-codes itself.
Next step
The one thing to do next. Never leave it empty.
Due
When to do it. Goes amber today, red once it's late.
Quiet
Days since anything happened — fills itself in. Amber at 14, red at 21.

When something happens

The two dates that make the response rate and the silence-spotting work.

Applied
The date it actually went out.
Last reply
When you last heard from them. Drives the response rate.

Worth knowing later

Context you'll want when three offers land at once — or when none do.

Country
Pick from the list — feeds the top-countries chart.
City
Where the role sits.
Work mode
Remote, hybrid or on-site.
Salary
Posted or guessed — with its own currency column, so the average means something.
CV used
Which CV they have — the thing everyone forgets.
Email used
Which address you applied from, when you run more than one.
Source
Where you found the role.
Job link
The posting, before it disappears.
Notes
Anything future you will want to know.

Status stages: Saved · Preparing · Applied · Assessment · Interview · Final stage · Offer · Rejected · Ghosted · Archived — the same ten stages Erioun uses, so moving up later is a rename-free experience.

Frequently asked

Which job application tracker template should I pick?

Google Sheets if you live in a browser and want easy sharing. Notion if your life is already there and you want a board view. Excel if you want the file offline and on your machine. Apple Numbers if you're on Mac and iPhone. The columns are identical, so you can switch later without re-thinking anything.

Are the templates really free?

Yes, and there's no email gate — click and the file downloads. The only thing we ask in return is that you read the two or three lines inside telling you what Erioun does. Ignore them and the template still works forever.

What's inside the job tracker spreadsheet?

17 columns — company, position, status, next step and its due date, days quiet, applied date, last reply, country, city, work mode, salary and currency, CV used, email used, source, job link and notes — plus a ten-stage status dropdown from Saved through Archived, and a dashboard that counts all of it for you.

What's the catch with a spreadsheet tracker?

Upkeep. Every reply, status change and follow-up date is typed by hand, and the sheet is only as current as your last honest edit. That's exactly the part Erioun automates: each application gets its own email address, replies file themselves and statuses stay current — you're one tap from adjusting, and nothing is ever sent without you.

The honest upsell

This is the manual version.

Erioun fills itself in — every application gets its own email address, replies file themselves and statuses stay current. You're always one tap from adjusting, and nothing is ever sent without you.
