Jaavo — a zen garden for your job search Job hunting is long, quiet, and often discouraging. Most trackers treat it like a spreadsheet. Jaavo treats it like tending something that grows — a calm ritual you return to each day. Every application you add is a seed planted in your garden. As you move jobs from saved → applied → interviewing → offer, the seed grows — into a sprout, a flower, then a tree. Rejected applications don’t disappear; they become stones in your garden, a quiet reminder of your effort. Progress is visible. Rejection is a stone, not a failure. Consistency is the point. WHAT JAAVO DOES • Job application tracker with a simple kanban board • Track applications from saved to offer • Import jobs from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and Handshake • Set daily or weekly application goals • Interview reminders and follow-up notes • A living garden that grows with your progress • No account required — your data stays on your device HOW IT WORKS Add a job manually or share a link Move your application through each stage Watch your garden evolve as you apply Set goals for a steady rhythm DESIGNED FOR CALM Jaavo is inspired by Japanese zen gardens. Warm tones, soft motion, and minimal design create a quiet space — not another stressful productivity tool. PRIVACY Jaavo does not require an account. Your data — including job applications, notes, and goals — is stored locally on your device. JAAVO PRO Jaavo is free for up to 10 active applications. Upgrade to Jaavo Pro for unlimited tracking: • Monthly — $2.99 per month (auto-renewable) • 6 Months — $9.99 per 6 months (auto-renewable) • Lifetime — $19.99 one-time purchase Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

About

Ghost Job Tracker

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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — not automation.
