You applied from the bus and told yourself you'd log it later. You didn't. Here's how to actually track every application from the device you apply on.

To track job applications on your phone, use ApplyArc, a mobile-first job tracker that runs in any phone browser. Log a job after applying on the LinkedIn or Indeed app, drag status updates with one thumb on a touch Kanban board, and get follow-up reminders on your phone. Add it to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like experience with no App Store download. Free for 100 jobs. Everything syncs to your laptop on the same account.

No catch. No commitment. Cancel anytime.

Built for Tracking on the Go

Log Jobs the Second You Apply

You apply from the LinkedIn or Indeed app, tab over to ApplyArc, and add the role before moving on. No waiting until you're back at a laptop.

One-Thumb Status Updates

Drag a job from Applied to Interview with a thumb. The Kanban board reflows for small screens · no pinch-zoom, no sideways scroll-hunting for the column you need.

Reminders That Reach Your Phone

Set a follow-up date when you save a job. ApplyArc emails you when it falls due, so the nudge lands wherever you read your mail. No push permissions, no extra app.

Add It to Your Home Screen

ApplyArc runs as a web app · add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like a native one. No App Store, no 80MB download, no update prompts.

Notes That Travel With You

Recruiter name, salary range, the question that stumped you · jot it on the train and it's on your laptop by the time you get home. One account, every screen.

AI Cover Letters on the Small Screen

Paste a job description, get a tailored cover letter that fits in your thumb. 5 free every month, no card. Send it before the posting closes.

Who Tracks on Their Phone

  • You apply from the LinkedIn or Indeed app on your commute, then forget to log it.
  • Your spreadsheet is unusable on a phone · tiny cells, endless side-scroll.
  • You want a reminder to follow up that actually reaches you, not a tab you closed.
  • You switch between phone and laptop and need both to show the same pipeline.
  • You'd rather not install yet another 80MB app to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. ApplyArc is built to run in any mobile browser. Log a job after you apply on the LinkedIn or Indeed app, drag status updates with one thumb, and get follow-up reminders on your phone. Add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like a native app. Everything syncs to your laptop on the same account.

ApplyArc is a responsive web app, so it works the same on iPhone and Android · no separate App Store or Play Store download. Open it in Safari or Chrome, tap 'Add to Home Screen', and it behaves like an installed app with a full-screen icon. You skip the 80MB download and the update prompts, and you get the same features as desktop.

No. There's nothing to install. ApplyArc opens in your phone's browser. If you want the app-like feel, add it to your home screen in two taps. It then launches full-screen without the browser bars. Your data lives in your account, not on the device, so a new phone never means lost applications.

Yes. The Kanban board is touch-first. Drag a job from Applied to Interview to Offer with your thumb. The columns reflow for small screens so you're not pinch-zooming or scrolling sideways. Add notes, set a reminder, or attach a recruiter's name on the spot, then it's all there on your laptop later.

The free plan tracks up to 100 jobs on the Kanban board with reminders, notes and 5 AI generations a month · no credit card. Pro at £19/month unlocks unlimited AI cover letters and interview prep. Fair-use guardrails apply. Check competitor pricing on each official plan page. The phone experience is identical on both plans.
