The same tracker, native in Sheets: a dashboard that counts itself, ten status stages, follow-up dates that turn red and a Quiet column that spots silence. One click makes your own copy — no signup, no email, nothing shared back to us.
Free, no macros, no signup, yours to keep. The file downloads the moment you click.
Both shots are the real Google Sheets file, opened and rendered — not a mockup. The figures come from the six example rows it ships with.
Most free job application tracker templates are a blank grid with a status column. This one does four things on its own.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The columns that answer “what did I send, to whom, and what's next?” — and not one more. Two of them fill themselves in.
The block that drives your day — and it fits on any screen without scrolling sideways.
The two dates that make the response rate and the silence-spotting work.
Context you'll want when three offers land at once — or when none do.
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.
The button below opens Google's "Make a copy" prompt. The copy lands in your Drive and belongs to you — the original is read-only and we never see yours.
Company, position, the date and which CV went out. Country, status, source, work mode and CV are dropdowns, so most of a row is four clicks.
The Needs you now panel on the Dashboard reads those two columns. Leave the date blank and the application quietly disappears from your day — the Signals panel counts how many you've done that to.
Eight counters, your pipeline by stage, the next things due and the silence worth chasing. Work top-down and close the tab.
No. The template is public and read-only, and the button opens Google's own "Make a copy" screen. You never request access to ours, and we never get access to yours — your copy lives in your Drive under your account.
Yes. There are no scripts or add-ons anywhere in it, so everything works in the Sheets app on Android and iOS — the dropdowns, the colour-coding and the dashboard counters included. The dashboard is designed for a wide screen, so it reads best on a laptop.
The Status column uses Sheets' built-in data validation with ten stages: Saved, Preparing, Applied, Assessment, Interview, Final stage, Offer, Rejected, Ghosted and Archived. Tap a cell and pick. Each stage colour-codes itself, closed applications grey out their whole row, and every count and chart reads that one column.
It counts the days since the last thing that happened on each application — their reply if there was one, otherwise the day you applied. Amber at 14 days, red at 21, and blank once the application is closed, so it only nags about things still worth chasing.
Yes — your copy is a normal Google Sheet, so standard sharing applies. Give view access for accountability, or edit access if someone is helping you run the search.
Honestly: upkeep grows with every row. Around 20-30 active applications, updating statuses and reply dates by hand becomes its own chore, and the sheet is only ever as current as your last honest edit. That's the point where a tracker that updates itself — like Erioun — starts paying for the switch.
Same columns, same statuses — only the typing surface changes.
One database, four views, and a column that spots ghosting. For people whose life already lives in Notion.
