Your search, laid out in time

The board tells you where an application stands. The list tells you what you’re waiting on. Neither answers the question you ask yourself in a bad week: what actually happened in July?

Tracking now has a Calendar tab. A month at a time, with a mark on every day something happened — applications sent, replies that came back, follow-ups you chased, stages you moved. Click a day and it opens beneath the grid: which employer, which role, what the message said, with a link to the application and to the message itself.

Two things it does deliberately.

It shows you which dates were observed and which you typed. A reply from an employer is dated by their message. A stage you moved yourself is dated by the evening you got around to updating your board. Those are not the same kind of fact, so they aren’t drawn the same way — filled marks were seen, hollow ones were recorded.

And it puts the day where your clock says it is. A message that arrived at half past eleven at night belongs to that night, not to the next morning in some server’s timezone.

Interviews, if you want them there

Connect your Google Calendar and the interviews you’ve accepted show up on the same grid — the day, the time, the joining link, and the application they belong to. A cancelled one stays visible, struck through, because an interview that silently vanished from a Thursday is indistinguishable from a calendar that failed to load.

We only store a meeting we can attach to an application you’re already tracking, and only when the invitation’s own identifier says it’s that meeting. Everything else in your calendar — the dentist, the standups, the interviews you never told us about — is read and discarded. Nothing else is kept.

The connection is still limited to approved test accounts while Google reviews our app. You’ll see that said plainly on the page rather than finding out at a consent screen.
