Trackr vs. a Job Application Spreadsheet (Google Sheets & Excel)

A spreadsheet is a great free start. Trackr gives you the same flexibility, with the structure, reminders and exports already built, so you stop maintaining columns and start landing interviews.

Choose Trackr if you want…

  • No setup: every useful field (status, stage, pay, recruiter, URL, notes) is ready on day one.
  • A Kanban board shows your whole pipeline at a glance, which is hard to do in rows and columns.
  • Follow-up nudges and a Monday digest email remind you when to chase replies.
  • Still export everything to CSV, Excel or PDF, so you're never locked in.

Spreadsheets might suit you if…

  • Completely free with no application limit.
  • Infinitely customizable if you love building formulas and pivot tables.
