The 6 columns
What each one is for. Rename, reorder or add columns whenever the work needs it.
- Saved
- Roles you might apply for. Keep the link and why it caught your eye.
- Applied
- Sent. The due date is when you'll follow up if you hear nothing.
- Interviewing
- In conversation. The due date is the next interview.
- Offer
- An offer to weigh up. Put the details in the description so offers compare side by side.
- Acceptedcounts as done
- The one you said yes to. Counts as done.
- Closedcounts as done
- Rejected, withdrawn or gone quiet. Counts as done, and stays searchable.
How to track a job search with it
-
Step 1
Save every role you're considering
One card per role, in Saved, with the job link and a line on why it fits. Tag them by type, like Remote or Contract, if you're looking at several kinds of role.
-
Step 2
Set a follow-up date when you apply
Move the card to Applied and set the due date a week or two out. If you've heard nothing by then, it shows up in Focus as due.
-
Step 3
Keep every conversation on the card
Add notes from each call as a comment, and a checklist for interview prep: research the company, prepare questions, send a thank-you.
-
Step 4
Close cards honestly
When a role is over, move it to Closed. A shorter board is easier to keep going with, and the history stays searchable.
With your AI agents
An agent can turn a list of job links into cards, draft a follow-up or thank-you email from a card's notes, and tell you which applications are due a nudge.
Agents connect over MCP or the REST API, on every plan, and act as you.

Keep it working
- Put salary, location and notice period in the description of each card, so offers are easy to compare.
- Use priority for the roles you want most, so they stand out on the board.
- Keep Saved short. Apply or archive within a week, or the column turns into a wish list.
