Is the job application tracker free?

Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Using it inside ActivityTracker, with the dates filled in, needs an account.

How do the dates work?

Each task has a day counted from the start: Day 1, Day 3 and so on. In ActivityTracker you pick a start date or a finish date, and every task lands on a real day. Tasks that repeat keep repeating.

Can I change it after I add it?

Yes. It's your project: rename it, add tasks, delete the ones you don't need. Save your version with Save as template and it's there next time.

What if the project I need isn't here?

Describe it in a sentence and the AI in Tasks writes a template for it, with sections and dates you can change before you use it.

About this template

A job search is a long run of small tasks and silences. Without a system, applications blur, follow-ups get missed and a good lead goes cold.

The project starts with preparation, then runs a weekly rhythm of applications and outreach. Each application gets its own task with its steps inside, and interviews have a prep checklist.

Tips from the template

Add one task per application with the company and role in the title.
Label applications waiting once sent and set a follow-up date.
Keep the weekly tasks going until you sign.
