Choose the fields, keep a six-stage pipeline, then download a clean CSV for Sheets, Excel, Numbers, or Airtable. No signup and no invented productivity rules.
Your tracker is not a graveyard of rows. It should tell you what to do next.
A useful job application dashboard records the company, role, source link, saved job description, date applied, current stage, next action and date, recruiter contact, resume version, interview notes, and outcome. Keep the pipeline short enough to update after every meaningful change.

12 columns selected. The second row is an example, not your data.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
