Question 1

What is Job Tracker?

Accepted Answer

Job Tracker is a Windows desktop application that organizes a job search from first application to final offer. Job Tracker stores unlimited job applications, schedules interviews, sets follow-up reminders, tracks pipeline status, and saves recruiter and hiring-manager contact information. Job Tracker stores all data locally on the user's Windows PC with no cloud account required.

Question 2

How much does Job Tracker cost?

Accepted Answer

Job Tracker costs $20 as a one-time purchase from AppKatz Software. The $20 covers a permanent license, unlimited job entries, unlimited interview scheduling, and installation on the user's Windows PC. Job Tracker charges no monthly subscription, no per-application fee, no per-contact fee, and no annual renewal. The license stays valid for as long as Windows runs on the machine.

Question 3

Is there a free trial of Job Tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Job Tracker offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial activates unlimited job entries, full interview scheduling, follow-up reminders, contact storage, and pipeline tracking. After 14 days, the user can purchase a $20 lifetime Job Tracker license or stop using Job Tracker with no charge or obligation.

Question 4

How is Job Tracker different from Huntr, Teal, or Simplify?

Accepted Answer

Huntr costs $9 to $39 per month. Teal HQ charges $9 to $29 per month. Simplify is free but stores data in the cloud and shows ads. Job Tracker costs $20 once and stores data locally on the user's Windows PC. Job Tracker has no monthly fee, no advertising, and no cloud dependency, making Job Tracker cheaper than Huntr after only three months.

Question 5

Is Job Tracker safe to install on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Job Tracker ships as a code-signed Windows installer verified by DigiCert. The DigiCert signature confirms that AppKatz Software (operated by LaunchWizard, LLC) published the Job Tracker installer and that the file has not been altered. Code-signed installers do not trigger Windows SmartScreen warnings. Job Tracker contains no telemetry and stores all data locally.

Question 6

Does Job Tracker need an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

No. Job Tracker runs entirely offline once installed. Job Tracker requires no cloud account, no email registration, and no internet connection to log applications, schedule interviews, set reminders, or browse the user's job pipeline. An internet connection is only needed to download the Job Tracker installer initially. All data lives on the user's Windows PC.

Question 7

How many job applications can Job Tracker hold?

Accepted Answer

Job Tracker has no built-in limit on the number of applications, interviews, contacts, or reminders. The practical limit depends on the available disk space on the user's Windows PC. Job Tracker has been tested with thousands of application entries without performance issues. Each entry supports notes, contacts, status, dates, and custom detail fields.

Question 8

Will Job Tracker work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Job Tracker is built and tested for Windows 10 (version 1809 and later) and Windows 11. Job Tracker uses standard .NET runtimes that ship with both operating systems. The installer does not modify system files, does not require administrator privileges to run after installation, and does not change Windows Registry settings outside the Job Tracker application folder.
