A private job search tracker — prospect to outcome — that keeps the exact CV and cover letter you sent with each application on your device, with a reusable STAR-method interview answer bank, a live conversion-rate dashboard, and a prep-prompt builder that turns your saved material into a research-instructed interview brief for any chat AI. The useful starting point is the decision or record itself: write down the current facts, inspect what the tool computes, and decide what changes next. The downloadable tool is optional; the same questions can be used on paper.
Start with the exact job
Anyone running more than a handful of live applications at once who's lost track of which CV version went where, and wants their interview answers ready before the call, not during it. Name the concrete situation before opening a template. Keep observations, estimates and decisions separate. A record is useful when it makes a later comparison or decision easier; it is not useful merely because another field has been completed.
Read the result as evidence, not a verdict
Application→interview and interview→outcome conversion rates computed live from your own pipeline, not a guess Flags an application as drifting if it's sat in Applied or Interview with no update past your own threshold — the same honest status logic as The Project Reality Check Attach the actual CV, cover letter and job description used for each card, so 'which version did I send them' always has an answer These are bounded functions of the information entered. They cannot establish motive, diagnose a person, guarantee a business outcome or decide what consequence is acceptable. Check the input when the result looks surprising, and keep the uncertainty visible.
What do I know directly, and what am I estimating?
Keeps observed facts separate from assumptions.
What exact result or pattern did the record produce?
Makes the output inspectable instead of intuitive.
Which important condition is outside this tool?
Prevents a bounded calculation being treated as a complete decision.
What will I continue, change, check or stop?
Turns the record into a proportionate next action.
Keep the record private and portable
The file works locally in a modern browser and stores working data in that browser on that device. There is no account and no automatic synchronisation. Clearing site data can clear the record, so export a backup before changing browser, device or storage settings. Do not put confidential, regulated or third-party information into a personal tool unless you have authority and an appropriate handling route.
Know when to use another route
A private job search tracker — prospect to outcome — that keeps the exact CV and cover letter you sent with each application on your device, with a reusable STAR-method interview answer bank, a live conversion-rate dashboard, and a prep-prompt builder that turns your saved material into a research-instructed interview brief for any chat AI. does not mean the tool covers every dependency around that job. Use source statements, contracts, accounting records, calendars or professional advice when those are the real authority. Recheck any time-sensitive rule, price, rate or platform behaviour. If the record is not changing a decision, simplify it or stop keeping it.
Frequently asked questions
No. It organises or computes the information you enter. You remain responsible for the judgement and any action.
The packaged tool is designed to run locally without an account or runtime network request. Working data remains in the current browser unless you export it.
The record does not follow automatically. Export a backup first, then import it in the other browser or device.
No. Use the questions on paper if that is sufficient; buy only when the retained local record reduces repeated setup.
What private and pay once mean
Private means the downloaded tool needs no account and makes no network requests, so the publisher receives no copy of what you enter. The record stays in the current browser unless you export it. Browser storage and exported backups are not encrypted or protected from another person who can use the same browser profile or read the file.
Pay once means you may keep reusing the version you downloaded without a subscription. Future major versions and continuing support are separate unless they are explicitly included. There is no cloud sync: export a backup before clearing browser data or changing device.
Use the smallest useful tool
The method above does not require a purchase. If a retained local record would reduce repeated setup, review the relevant interactive tool after its tested release.
