A sheet never reminds you
Your Google Sheets tracker sits in a tab until you remember to open it. Deadlines and follow-ups slip past because nothing nudges you when a date is close.

Bring your sheet
Export your Google Sheets tracker to CSV, paste the rows into our import template, and import them, so you switch without losing your applications.
Stop retyping
One-click capture fills company, role, location, and link from any posting, instead of copying cells across browser tabs.
It reminds you
Deadlines and follow-ups surface on their own, the part a spreadsheet can never do for you.
From the maker
MyApplio is built by one developer who is still job hunting too. The core stays free; Supporter helps keep the workspace running and improving.
Why people switch from a spreadsheet
A Google Sheets tracker forgets. This one reminds you.
A spreadsheet is free and flexible, and that counts for a lot. The cost shows up later, in the manual upkeep, the missed follow-ups, and the analytics you never had time to build.
Every row is manual upkeep
A spreadsheet is free and flexible, but you copy company, role, location, and link into cells by hand for every posting. The Chrome extension does it for you in one click.
No analytics without formulas
Response rate, interview rate, and pipeline only appear in a sheet if you build and maintain the formulas yourself. Most trackers never get that far.

What you get instead
Everything your sheet does, without the upkeep.
Import what you already built, then let one-click capture, reminders, and analytics do the parts a spreadsheet leaves to you.
Import your Google Sheet
Paste your existing Excel or CSV rows into the import template, or let AI reformat them, then bulk import them as tracked applications, with company, role, status, and link preserved.
One-click capture
The Chrome extension fills company, role, location, and link from any LinkedIn, Indeed, or company careers posting in a single click.
Reminders and Needs Attention
Notifications and a Needs Attention view surface deadlines and follow-ups before they slip past you.
Built-in analytics
Response rate, interview rate, and pipeline by status are calculated for you, with no formulas to write or maintain.
Table, cards, or kanban
View the same applications as a sortable table, a card grid, or a kanban board grouped by status, whichever fits how you think.
Documents on each row
Attach the exact resume and cover letter you sent to each application, instead of hunting through folders linked from a cell.
How the switch works
From spreadsheet to tracker in three steps.
Import your spreadsheet

Common questions
Google Sheets job tracker alternative FAQ.
Can I import my Google Sheet?
Yes. Export your Google Sheets job tracker to Excel or CSV, paste the rows into our import template (or let AI reformat them to fit), and bulk import them, up to 100 rows at a time, as tracked applications. Company, role, status, and link are preserved, so you switch without retyping anything and keep the work you already did.
Why move off a Google Sheets job tracker at all?
A spreadsheet is free and flexible, and that is genuinely useful. The tradeoff is manual upkeep: you type every posting in by hand, build your own formulas for any analytics, and nothing reminds you when a deadline or follow-up is due. MyApplio keeps the same data but captures jobs in one click, reminds you automatically, and calculates response rate and pipeline for you.
Is it free?
Yes. Sign in with Google and you are on the Free plan immediately, with no credit card. You can import your spreadsheet, track applications, attach resumes and cover letters, and get reminders for free. Upgrade only if you want unlimited AI actions like resume rewrites and cover letter drafts.
What does MyApplio do that a spreadsheet job tracker cannot?
It fills itself in with one-click capture from the Chrome extension, reminds you about deadlines and follow-ups in a Needs Attention view, calculates response rate and pipeline without any formulas, attaches the exact resume and cover letter to each application, and shows your search as a kanban board, table, or card grid. A spreadsheet job tracker alternative should remove the manual upkeep, not just copy the columns.
Will I lose the flexibility of a spreadsheet?
No. Every application is a structured record you can sort, filter, and group by company, role, status, location, date, salary, or link, the same way you slice a sheet. You gain reminders, attachments, and analytics on top, while keeping your data fully in your control.
Is my data private?
Your applications, imported rows, resumes, and notes are protected by row-level access controls, so only you can see them. Public resume sharing is opt-in per resume, and search indexing is off by default.
