tl;dr: A clean, focused job application tracking tool for job seekers and freelancers to stay organized and land their next opportunity.

JobSuite - Job Application Tracker

The Problem I Wanted to Solve

Job hunting is stressful enough without the chaos of managing applications across spreadsheets, notes, and random browser tabs. I’ve been there — losing track of which companies I applied to, forgetting to follow up, and scrambling before interviews because I couldn’t find my notes.

Most tools out there are either too simple (just a list) or way too complicated (enterprise recruitment software). I wanted something in between — simple structure, real clarity, no distractions.

So I built JobSuite.

What JobSuite Does

JobSuite is a job application tracking tool designed for people who want to stay organized without the overhead. Here’s what it helps with:

📋 Track Job Applications

Keep all your applications in one clean dashboard. No more scattered spreadsheets or messy note apps. Just a clear view of where things stand.

✍️ Smart Cover Letter Generation

Generate tailored cover letters for each role in seconds using AI. It’s not about replacing your voice — it’s about giving you a solid starting point.

🎯 Interview Preparation

Get personalized interview guides for the roles you apply to. Walk into interviews feeling prepared, not panicked.

Who It’s Built For

  • Job seekers looking for their next role
  • Career changers exploring new opportunities
  • Freelancers managing multiple applications
  • Anyone tired of messy spreadsheets

If you’re managing your own applications or freelance opportunities, this tool is for you.

The Tech Behind It

Built with a modern stack focused on speed and reliability:

  • Supabase for authentication and database
  • Google Sign-In for seamless onboarding
  • OpenRouter for AI content generation
  • Cloudflare for security and bot protection
  • Polar for payment processing
  • Fly.io for hosting

Security was a priority — all data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest via Supabase.

The Business Model

I kept it simple:

  • Free to start — new users get 10 free credits, no credit card required
  • Pay as you go — when credits run out, purchase more anytime
  • No subscriptions — just buy what you need

Credits are used for AI features like cover letter generation, interview guides, and professional avatars.

What I Learned Building This

  1. Focus beats features — It’s tempting to add everything, but the best products do a few things really well
  2. Solve your own problem — Building something you’d actually use makes every decision clearer
  3. Ship early — Getting it in front of real users taught me more than months of planning

Try It Out

If you’re in the middle of a job search or managing freelance opportunities, give JobSuite a try. It’s free to start, and I’d love to hear your feedback.
