What does a job tracking app do?

A job tracking app records every application you submit, where it is in the pipeline (applied, screening, interview, offer, rejected), and reminds you to follow up. Good trackers integrate with the apply step so you do not enter every job manually.

Are there free job tracking apps?

Yes. Teal, AI Applyd, and Huntr all have free trackers. Teal is the most generous free tracker in the category. AI Applyd integrates the tracker with the apply step so every auto-apply creates a tracker entry automatically.

Which is the best free job tracker?

AI Applyd is the best free tracker for most people because it is the only one that also auto-applies, scores, and preps in the same tool, so every submission updates the tracker with no manual entry. If you only ever want pure manual tracking, Teal has a generous free tier, and Huntr has the cleanest Kanban board. For applying at volume with the tracker that fills itself, AI Applyd is the call.

Do job trackers integrate with LinkedIn?

Yes. Teal, Huntr, and Simplify all have Chrome extensions that capture job postings from LinkedIn, Indeed, and most ATS sites with one click. AI Applyd takes a different route: instead of a browser extension you have to install, its apply agent submits on the top job sites for you and creates the tracker entry automatically.

Do job trackers auto-apply?

Some yes. AI Applyd is the only tool here that auto-applies and tracks. Huntr is autofill plus tracker (you click apply). Teal is tracker only. Simplify is autofill plus tracker (you click apply). If the goal is "I submit and the tracker updates itself", AI Applyd is the one.

How we tested

Every roundup on this site runs the same yardstick, so the recommendations stay comparable across pages.

Test 01
Tracker depth: unlimited jobs vs capped
Test 02
Apply integration: tracker auto-updates on submission, or you enter every job manually
Test 03
UX format: Kanban vs list vs mobile-native
Test 04
Bundle scope: standalone tracker vs part of a broader stack
Test 05
Chrome extension: one-click job capture from LinkedIn and Indeed

A job tracker keeps you sane when you have 50 active applications. The good ones capture jobs from a Chrome extension, sync with the apply step, and remind you to follow up. The best ones tie the tracker to the apply pipeline so every submission creates an entry automatically.
