Job Application Tracker by SimpleTask

Job Tracker is a local-first job application tracker and Chrome extension for saving job posts while you browse, organizing roles in a searchable local library, and exporting selected items to CSV, Markdown, JSON, ChatGPT, or Claude.

Stop losing interesting openings in browser tabs, bookmarks, spreadsheets, Notion pages, and scattered notes. Job Tracker helps you capture roles at the moment you find them, keep the full job description, add notes and tags, and export details when you are ready to compare options, tailor your resume, or move data into your existing job search system.

Job Tracker is designed to complement the tools you already use — Google Sheets, Excel, Notion, Airtable, Linear, Access, or your own application tracker. It gives you a fast capture layer for job posts, a private local library, and AI-ready exports for ChatGPT and Claude.

✨ KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✅ SAVE JOB POSTS WHILE BROWSING

Capture interesting roles directly from your browser into a personal job tracker.

• 🧾 Save title, company, location, URL, source site, salary, and full job description
• 🔎 Automatically captures title, company, and description from LinkedIn job pages; add roles from other boards manually
• ✍ Add roles manually from any job board, company career page, or niche hiring site
• 🛟 Preserve job descriptions before listings change, close, or disappear
• 📌 Keep opportunities out of scattered tabs, bookmarks, notes, and spreadsheets

Job Tracker starts where your job search already happens: the listing page.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📚 ORGANIZE YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Keep your job search organized in a clean, searchable workspace.

• 🔍 Search by title, company, location, source, salary, notes, or tags
• 🏷 Filter by source, tag, or optional application status
• 📝 Add notes and tags to each role
• 🔗 Open the original post from any library item
• ✏ Edit details whenever you need
• 🗂 Review everything in the popup or full-page library

Whether you are collecting roles for later, comparing options, or tracking applications across different job boards, Job Tracker keeps the process simple.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📤 EXPORT TO CSV, MARKDOWN, JSON, CHATGPT, OR CLAUDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Select roles and export them in the format you need.

• 📊 Export to CSV for spreadsheets and personal trackers
• 📄 Export to Markdown for clean, readable summaries
• 🧱 Export to JSON for structured job data
• 🤖 Copy prompt-ready bundles for ChatGPT or Claude
• 🧠 Use built-in prompt templates to compare roles, extract requirements, rank options, tailor resume bullets, or draft cover letter outlines

Job Tracker does not automatically send your library to any AI provider. It prepares job information locally, and you decide what to copy, download, or paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or another tool.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🤖 AI-READY, NOT AN AI APP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Job Tracker helps you use AI without locking your job search into a new platform.

Use your exported roles with ChatGPT or Claude to:

• ⚖ Compare responsibilities, requirements, compensation, and tradeoffs
• 🎯 Rank roles by fit and application effort
• 🧩 Extract required skills, preferred skills, and domain keywords
• 📝 Find resume angles for each role without inventing experience
• 💌 Create a cover letter outline based on the job description

The extension itself is not an AI chat app. It does not generate resumes or cover letters inside the extension. Instead, it helps you collect clean job data and prepare exports for the AI tools you choose to use.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🗂 OPTIONAL APPLICATION STATUS TRACKING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Use Job Tracker as a simple role saver or enable lightweight application tracking.

Optional statuses include:

• 🟦 Saved
• 🟨 Interested
• 🟩 Applied
• 🟪 Interview
• 🟧 Offer
• 🟥 Rejected
• ⬛ Archived

Statuses are optional. Leave them off if you only want a simple capture-and-export tool. Turn them on if you want a lightweight pipeline for your job applications.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔁 AVOID DUPLICATES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If you capture the same role again, Job Tracker lets you update the existing item instead of creating a duplicate.

This is useful when you reopen a listing, when a page is updated, or when you want to refresh details while keeping your local notes, tags, salary, and status.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔐 PRIVACY & CONTROL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Job Tracker is built around local storage and user-controlled exports.

• 🔓 No account required
• 🚪 No login required
• 🗃 No cloud sync for your local library
• 💻 Roles, notes, tags, and statuses are stored in this browser
• 📋 AI prompt bundles are copied locally for you to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or another tool yourself

Job Tracker is designed for people who want a lightweight job application tracker without moving their whole search into a new cloud platform.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💡 WHY USE JOB TRACKER?

Store title, company, location, URL, salary, notes, tags, source site, and description in one local library.

Capture and organize details once, then export them when needed.

Export selected roles to ChatGPT or Claude when you want help comparing options, extracting requirements, or tailoring your resume.

✅ Keep your existing system

Already use Google Sheets, Excel, Notion, Airtable, Linear, or another job tracker? Use Job Tracker as the fast capture and export layer before moving data into your main system.

✅ Stay lightweight

No CRM complexity, no recruiter tools, no auto-apply, no resume builder, no forced workflow.

🧭 COMMON USE CASES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧩 Browser Session Saver

You are scrolling through job sites or company career pages and find several interesting roles. Capture each one into your local library before closing the tabs.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚫 WHAT JOB TRACKER IS NOT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Job Tracker is intentionally small and focused.

It is not an auto-apply tool, autofill application tool, resume builder, ATS resume checker, recruiter CRM, cloud-synced job search platform, or AI chat app.

It is a local-first job tracker for capturing roles, organizing applications, preserving job descriptions, and exporting data to the tools you already use.
