One duplicatable database with the same columns as the spreadsheet versions, four views over it — table, board by stage, a chart, and a Needs you now list — and two properties that work themselves out: Quiet counts the days of silence, and Attention tells you which row to open first.
Free, no macros, no signup, yours to keep. The file downloads the moment you click.
A shot of the live template as an anonymous visitor sees it — 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.
A board grouped by stage, with a live count on every column. A chart breaking your applications down by country. A Needs you now list of what is actually due. And a table for editing. Four views over one database — add your own in a click, and Notion tallies each of them for you.
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.
Hit Duplicate and the copy is yours, in your own workspace, on the free plan. You never request access to ours and we never get access to yours. No email address is required, and nothing about who you are applying to comes back to us.
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.
Open the page and hit Duplicate in the top-right. The copy lands in your own workspace and belongs to you — we never see it, and you never need to ask us for access.
Company, position, the date, and which CV went out. Status, country, source, work mode, CV and currency are all dropdowns, so most of an entry is a few clicks.
The Attention column reads those two, and the Needs you now view is built on it. An entry with no due date quietly stops asking you for anything.
It ranks itself: overdue first, then due today, then the ones going quiet. Work down the list, then close the tab.
Yes — every part of it. The database, all four views including the chart, the dropdowns and both self-calculating columns work on a free personal workspace. It deliberately avoids Notion's Dashboard view, which is a Business-plan feature; the board's per-column counts and each view's Calculate footer give you the same numbers for free.
Four. A table for editing, a board grouped by Status so you can see the pipeline and its counts, a chart breaking your applications down by country, and a Needs you now list for what's actually due. Adding your own is a click — chart by source is a good next one.
They're formulas, so they fill themselves in. Quiet counts the days since anything last happened on an application — their reply if there was one, otherwise the day you applied — and goes blank once it's closed. Attention turns that into a verdict: 🔴 Overdue, 🟠 Due today, 🔴 Silent 21+ days, 🟠 Going quiet, ⚪ No next step, or ✅ On track, most urgent first. Sorting by it is the whole morning routine.
It can show you what's due — that's what Attention and the Needs you now view are for — but it cannot come and find you. Nothing arrives in your inbox, and nothing notices that a reply landed. You still have to open the page. That's the honest gap between a template and a tracker that reads your mail.
Use Notion if you already live there; the board view is genuinely nicer for pipelines. Use Sheets or Excel if you want faster bulk editing and sorting. Both are manual — the columns are identical, so switching later is painless.
Same columns, same statuses — only the typing surface changes.
The browser-native option. One click to copy, syncs on its own, works on your phone.
