Tracking and Home

Statuses, the applications list, one application's page, and what Home shows first.

Statuses

Every application has one of six statuses:

StatusMeaning
SavedYou are interested and have not applied yet
AppliedSent
InterviewingA conversation is in progress
OfferYou have one
RejectedThey said no
WithdrawnYou pulled out

Change a status from the list or from the application itself. Each change is dated and kept on the application’s timeline.

The applications list

Applications in the sidebar lists everything. Search by company or role, filter by status, and move through rows with j and k or the arrow keys; Enter opens the focused row.

One application

Open a row to see everything about it:

  • Job description. The posting as it was captured, kept because postings get taken down.
  • Notes. Anything you write, in Markdown.
  • Timeline. When it was added and from where, each status change, and each follow-up you log.
  • Details you can edit: company, role, location, link.

On Pro, this is also where you build a tailored CV for the posting.

Home

Home opens on three numbers, each of which opens the list already filtered:

Below them are the charts: applications added each week, the pipeline by status, where your applications came from, and how long replies take.
