A job and internship tracker built for students

A spreadsheet records what you did. It never tells you what to do next. Once you pass roughly twenty applications, three things break at once: you stop remembering which companies owe you a reply, follow-ups slip past the week where they'd help, and you lose the job description you were supposed to reread before the interview.

The fix isn't discipline. It's a system that keeps the next action visible without you having to reconstruct it.

• Logs every application with company, role, stage, applied date, deadline, and the original job posting link.
• Tracks internship deadlines separately from applied dates, so future deadlines surface before they pass.
• Shows the same data as a spreadsheet or a kanban board, whichever you think in.
• Flags applications awaiting follow-up so a week of silence doesn't turn into a month.
• Imports the spreadsheet you already have, custom columns included.
• Includes a pre-application checklist, résumé and cover letter guidance, interview practice questions, and follow-up email templates.

Campus recruiting is bursty. You might submit fifteen applications in a week, then hear nothing for a month, then get four interview invitations in three days. Applas is built for that rhythm: bulk import when you're adding in volume, stage-by-stage tracking when responses start arriving, and a funnel view that tells you honestly how many applications it's taking you to reach an interview.

Yes. Applas Basic is free forever, with no credit card, and includes unlimited applications in both views. Applas Pro is $8/month and adds company insights and Pro workflow tools. Nothing about the core tracker is paywalled.

• Company, role, and location, so career-fair leads do not blur together.
• Stage, kept honest: a coffee chat is not a screener.
• Date applied and the deadline, tracked as two different things.
• The follow-up date you set at the moment you submitted.
• Source, whether that was the school portal, a referral, a fair, or a job board.
• Notes: recruiter names, what you promised to send, and the posting text.

For a first season with a handful of applications, a spreadsheet is genuinely enough. It is free, familiar, and open in seconds. What it cannot do is remind you of anything, and it gets unpleasant to read on a phone somewhere past thirty rows.

Consulting runs case rounds. Software runs technical screens and panels. Nursing and teaching run credential checks on institutional timelines. Applas ships stage sets per industry instead of forcing one pipeline on every search, and stages you add yourself sort, color, and count like the built-in ones.

Is Applas free for students?

Yes. Applas Basic is free forever with unlimited applications, no credit card, and both the spreadsheet and kanban views included. Applas Pro is $8 per month and adds Company Insights and school comparison.

Can I import the spreadsheet I already keep?

Yes. The importer reads Excel and CSV files, detects your header row, and lets you map custom columns before anything is added.

Does it handle internship deadlines?

Yes. Deadline is a separate field from date applied, so postings that close on a date surface before they pass rather than after.

What if my school uses its own recruiting portal?

Log those roles like any other, with the portal as the source. Seeing which channel produced conversations is one of the more useful things a tracker tells you.
