Yes. All core features are free: Kanban board, reminders, notes, sub-statuses, and built-in job search. No credit card required to start. Premium plans with higher limits may be added later. ### How many applications can I track? The free plan lets you track enough applications for an active job search. You can archive completed or rejected applications anytime to make room for new ones. ### What are sub-statuses? Sub-statuses let you track detailed stages within each column. Under Interview, for example, you can mark Phone Screen, Technical Round, or Final Round — so you always know exactly where you stand. ### Can I search for jobs inside the tracker? Yes. Browse live job listings and add them to your tracker with one click. No need to switch between tabs or copy-paste job details. ### Can I set reminders for follow-ups? Yes. Set reminders for follow-up emails, interview dates, and application deadlines. You'll get notified so nothing falls through the cracks. ### Is my data private? Your data is encrypted and stored securely. Only you can access your job tracker. We never share your information with third parties. ### Does it work on mobile? Yes. The tracker is fully responsive and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. A dedicated mobile app is on the roadmap. ### Do I need an account? Yes, a free account is required to save your data. Sign-up takes under 30 seconds with email or Google. ### How is this better than a spreadsheet? Spreadsheets don't have drag-and-drop pipelines, reminders, sub-statuses, or built-in job search. FoundRole replaces the spreadsheet with a purpose-built tracker that keeps your search organized without the manual upkeep. ### Can I manage my job tracker through AI assistants? Yes. FoundRole's MCP server supports full tracker management — save jobs, update application status, add notes, and view your pipeline directly through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI. # FoundRole Job Tracker — Track Every Application from Browser or AI Free Kanban board for job seekers.
