Application tracker starter

Add a row per application with company, role, source, date, stage, next action and notes. The starter shows counts by stage, overdue next actions and how many applications have had any employer response, then exports a CSV that opens in any spreadsheet. It stores rows only in your browser and reports counts, never odds; when you want a board, a funnel and a follow-up-due label on each application, Luceria's free tracker uses the same fields.

Everything you type is processed in your browser. A draft is kept in this browser's local storage so you can come back to it, and a visible Clear control deletes it. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged by Luceria; analytics record only that the tool was used, never its contents.

Use the tool

Start with one application

Add a row for each role you are considering or have applied to, or import a CSV from Luceria’s tracker template. Everything stays in this browser until you download it.

How it works

  1. Rows are kept in this browser's storage until you delete them or download the CSV.
  2. The twelve stages are Luceria's tracker stages: Saved, Researching, Applied, Online assessment, Video interview, First interview, Interview, Final interview, Offer / Accepted, Rejected, Ghosted, Archived.
  3. The summary counts rows per stage, counts applications with any employer response, and lists next actions whose date has passed.
  4. CSV import previews the file before adding anything: it finds the header row (also in a CSV saved from the downloadable workbook), suggests a column for each field, keeps unknown statuses and ambiguous dates for you to decide, flags duplicates and can be undone.
  5. Each row has a private status log: what a portal, email or call said, exactly as shown, with its source, locale, who set it, when you saw it and when you entered it. An employer decision, the employer's activity, a platform's expectation, a closed advert and a status you chose are kept apart, conflicting entries are kept side by side, and a correction adds a new entry instead of rewriting the old one.
  6. Indeed statuses are interpreted from Indeed's GB help page as read on 4 November 2026; Workday labels are set by each employer, so they stay unknown until the employer explains them. Five fictional contradictions load on the page to show how the log explains them.

What it does not do

It is a starter, not a reminder system: it cannot notify you, sync between devices or connect to applications made elsewhere. The counts describe your own records and say nothing about your chances.

Your data

Everything you type is processed in your browser. A draft is kept in this browser's local storage so you can come back to it, and a visible Clear control deletes it. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged by Luceria; analytics record only that the tool was used, never its contents.

Worked example

Illustrative example with invented details, not a real person’s result.

Three fictional applications: inputs

  • An operations role at the First interview stage with a preparation task due; an administrator role applied a week ago with a follow-up due; a saved housing role with a tailoring task.
  • Today's date later than all three next-action dates.

What the tool shows

  • Counts: 1 saved, 1 applied, 1 first interview; 2 sent, 1 with a response.
  • Three overdue next actions listed with company, role and date.
  • A CSV with the eight tracker columns ready for Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

How to use it well

  1. Add a row the moment you decide to apply, even before you send anything; the next action is then to tailor and submit.
  2. Give every live application a next action and a date, even if the action is only to wait until a given day.
  3. Update the stage when the employer does something, not when you hope they will.
  4. Export the CSV weekly as a backup, or move the rows into the Luceria tracker when you want the board, the funnel view and follow-up-due labels.

Common questions

Can I import this CSV into Luceria's tracker?

Yes, with a free account. The tracker's import page shows the same preview first: mapped and unmapped columns, original and mapped statuses, dates it will not guess, duplicates and the room left on the account. Only the rows you confirm are added, and an import can be undone. Cell values transfer; workbook formulas and formatting do not.

Is anything saved to Luceria?

No. Rows live in your browser's local storage on this device only. Clearing site data or using the Delete all rows control removes them.

What counts as a response?

Any employer action after you applied: a screening call, an interview, an offer or a rejection. Silence is not counted either way.

Does Indeed's 'Response seems unlikely' mean I was rejected?

No. Indeed's GB help page describes it as Indeed's expectation, shown when the employer has hired enough candidates or there has been no activity on your application for at least two weeks. 'Not selected by employer' is the status the employer sets when it rejects an application.

Can the status log decode my Workday status?

No. Workday's documentation describes statuses and external-facing labels that each employer configures, so the same label can mean different things at different employers. The log keeps the label and leaves its meaning unknown until the employer explains it.
