About

Ghost Job Tracker

Features

Half the postings you apply to will never hire anyone. Know which ones. Ghost Job Tracker is a private, on-device job application tracker with a built-in ghost-job detector. No account. No cloud. No scraping. Your job search stays on your phone. TRACK EVERYTHING One clean pipeline for every application: saved, applied, screening, interview, offer, rejected โ€” or ghosted. Full status timeline per application, so you always know what happened when. SPOT GHOST JOBS Paste any job description and get a 0-100 ghost-risk score, computed entirely on your device. Real signals, not magic: missing salary range, "always hiring" language, buzzword density, no human contact, stale posting age โ€” plus a 4-question checklist that beats any algorithm. A risk signal, not a verdict: you make the call. NEVER WONDER SILENTLY When an application goes quiet for 14 days, a gentle nudge asks: follow up, or mark it ghosted? Your energy goes to jobs that answer. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Personal funnel, ghost rate, and median response times. See your job search the way it actually is. SHARE THE RECEIPTS Share anonymized risk cards โ€” no company names, no personal data, ever. PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) - Unlimited active applications (free: 10) - Full risk-score breakdown, signal by signal - CSV / JSON export We don't auto-apply, we don't scrape, and we can't see your data. Organization and verification โ€” not automation.
