Your job search,
with a paper trail.
OnTrack is a private job application tracker for Mac. Save every posting, track every change, and see what’s working once there’s enough data to say.
4 of 12 observations for final-round conversion. No figure reported until the sample supports one.
Illustrative example — not a real user's data.
A clear record, from first save to final decision.
A few of the working surfaces that keep your search organized without asking you to hand your data to a service.
Your whole search, arranged by stage.
See every application in one place, from saved roles through interviews and offers. Quiet records are surfaced before they slip away.
Capture a role while the tab is still open.
Add the essentials in a compact form, then return to the detail when you have more context to keep.
Move without breaking your flow.
Use the command palette to find an application, change a status, or start a new record from anywhere in the app.
Keep the evidence with the application.
Notes, contacts, documents, status history, and the original job posting all live in one searchable record.
Know what your search is telling you.
OnTrack shows response patterns and bottlenecks only when there is enough data to make them worth trusting.
See every application at a glance.
An application only ever moves along a scale you can read at a glance — greyer is earlier, greener is further, and a closed record loses its colour instead of turning red.
Useful numbers, or no number at all.
Most trackers will compute a conversion rate from four data points. OnTrack states the sample, states the threshold, and reports nothing until it clears it.
