Yes. The whole tracker is free: the board, notes, recruiter contacts, reminders and jobs added from other sites. There is no cap on saved jobs and no paid part of the tracker. ### What stages can I track a job application through? Five columns: Saved, Applied, Interview, Offer and Archived. Each one has finer steps you can set, such as Phone Screen, Technical, Onsite and Final Round under Interview. When you archive a job you pick why: rejected, withdrawn, ghosted, not interested, or hired. ### Can I track jobs I found on other sites? Yes. Save a FoundRole job in one click from search, or add a job from any other site with the add-job form on the board, with the Chrome extension on the posting itself, or by asking in ChatGPT or Claude. ### How do follow-up reminders work? Pick a date and time on a job. An email confirms it with a calendar file for Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and a second email arrives when the reminder is due. A job holds one reminder at a time, and reminders come by email only. ### Do I need an account to use the job tracker? The board on the site needs a free account. In the Chrome extension you can try it first without one: a guest board holds up to 10 jobs and moves to your account when you sign in. ### Can I manage my job tracker from ChatGPT or Claude? Yes. Connect FoundRole to ChatGPT or Claude and ask it to save a job, move it to another stage, add a note or show your applications. The changes land on the same board you see on the site. ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown) # FoundRole Job Tracker — Track Every Application from Browser or AI Free Kanban board for job seekers.
