## Application Pipeline

The heart of the tracker is the application pipeline. Every job you add moves through a series of statuses that reflect where you are in the hiring process.

### Viewing Your Applications

You can view your applications in two ways:

* **Kanban board** - drag-and-drop cards between status columns. Great for a visual overview.
* **List view** - a compact table with sorting and filtering. Ideal when you have many applications.

Your preferred view is remembered automatically.

<Tip>
  Use the search bar to filter applications instantly. You can search by job title, company name, or tag - and combine multiple terms to narrow results.
</Tip>

### Application Statuses

Every application flows through these stages. You can move applications forward by dragging them on the Kanban board or updating the status inside the application detail view.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Watchlist">
    Jobs you are interested in but have not applied to yet. This is your shortlist.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preparing">
    Auto-Prep is working on your application materials (resume tailoring, research). This status is set automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Applied">
    You have submitted your application. A follow-up reminder is created automatically (14 days by default).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Response">
    The company has responded to your application.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Screening">
    You are going through an initial screening round (phone screen, recruiter call).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Interview Scheduled">
    An interview has been booked. Add the date and it syncs to your calendar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Interviewed">
    You have completed an interview round. If there is another round, move it back to Interview Scheduled.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Offer">
    You have received a job offer. Record salary, benefits, and other details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Negotiating">
    You are negotiating the terms of the offer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accepted">
    Congratulations - you have accepted the offer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Applications can also be marked as **Rejected**, **Withdrawn**, or **No Response** at any point. These are moved to a separate archive so they do not clutter your active pipeline.
</Note>

### Undo Status Changes

Made a mistake? Every status change can be undone within 5 minutes. Look for the undo option in the application timeline.

## Adding Applications

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add Application">
    Use the **Add Application** button at the top of the tracker.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the basics">
    Fill in the job title, company name, and optionally a link to the job posting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Auto-Prep (optional)">
    Toggle Auto-Prep on and Mokaru will automatically tailor a copy of your resume and gather research about the role.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Your application is added to the Watchlist (or Preparing if Auto-Prep is enabled) and you are ready to go.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Already have the Mokaru browser extension installed? You can save jobs directly from job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed with one click - no need to copy and paste URLs.
</Tip>

### Duplicate Detection

If you try to add a job with the same URL as an existing application, Mokaru will take you to the existing one instead of creating a duplicate.

## Auto-Prep

When you add an application with Auto-Prep enabled, Mokaru does the heavy lifting for you:

1. **Duplicates your base resume** and creates a tailored version for the specific role
2. **Analyzes the job posting** to identify key requirements
3. **Optimizes your resume** with relevant keywords and suggestions

Your application moves from Watchlist to Preparing while this runs, and you will see live progress updates on the application detail page.

## Auto Follow-Ups

Staying on top of follow-ups is one of the most effective job search strategies. Mokaru makes this effortless.

* When you move an application to **Applied**, a follow-up reminder is automatically scheduled for 14 days later
* Follow-ups appear in your dashboard agenda and sync to your connected calendar
* When the application status changes (for example, the company responds), the old follow-up is automatically removed
* You can turn auto follow-ups on or off per application

<Tip>
  Following up after two weeks shows initiative without being pushy. Mokaru sets this timing by default so you do not have to think about it.
</Tip>

Click any application to see its full detail view. This is where you manage everything about a specific job.

## Tags & Filtering

Organize your applications with custom tags. For example, you might tag applications by industry, location, or priority level.

* Tags are shared between your Jobs and Contacts tabs, so filtering by a tag shows relevant items across both
* Use the filter bar to narrow your pipeline by status, tag, or archive state
* Combine tag filters with search for precise results

## Contacts Tab

The tracker includes a dedicated Contacts tab where you can manage people connected to your job search - recruiters, hiring managers, referrals, and more. Contacts can be linked to one or more applications and share the same tag system.

## Dashboard

Your dashboard is the first thing you see when you open Mokaru. It gives you a real-time snapshot of your job search.

### Widgets

The dashboard uses a customizable widget grid. Drag, resize, and add widgets to build a layout that works for you.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Application Funnel" icon="filter">
    See how your applications flow through the pipeline, from applied to offer.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Weekly Activity" icon="chart-bar">
    Track how many applications you send each week with a visual chart.

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Click the edit button on the dashboard to enter edit mode. From there you can drag widgets to reorder, resize them, or add new ones from the widget drawer.
</Tip>

### Agenda Sidebar

The right side of the dashboard shows your upcoming agenda:

* **Interviews** scheduled in the coming days
* **Follow-up reminders** that are due
* **Calendar events** synced from Google or Outlook

### Weekly Application Goal

Set a weekly target for how many applications you want to send. Your progress is tracked automatically each time you move an application to Applied.

## Calendar Integration

Connect your Google or Outlook calendar to keep everything in sync:

* Interviews and follow-up reminders appear in your calendar
* External calendar events show up in the tracker, so you can avoid scheduling conflicts
* Calendar sync happens automatically in the background

## Bulk Operations

When managing many applications at once, you can:

* **Archive** applications that are no longer active to keep your pipeline clean
* **Delete** applications you added by mistake
* **Filter by status** to focus on a specific stage of the pipeline

<Note>
  Archived applications are not deleted. You can always view them by toggling the archive filter in the filter bar.
</Note>

## Tips for an Effective Job Search

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Keep your pipeline moving">
    Aim to have applications in multiple stages at once. If everything is stuck in Applied, it might be time to follow up or adjust your approach.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use tags strategically">
    Create tags like "Top Choice", "Remote", or "Referral" to quickly filter and prioritize your applications.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Review your dashboard weekly">
    Check your funnel and weekly activity each week. Patterns in your data - like low response rates - can signal that your resume or targeting needs adjustment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Add notes after every interaction">
    Write a quick note after every call, email, or interview while details are fresh. These notes are invaluable when preparing for follow-up conversations.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Preparing for an Interview?

Use [Interview Practice](/features/interview-practice) to rehearse with an AI interviewer before your next scheduled interview. You can link practice sessions directly to tracked applications. Organize your applications and contacts with [Tags](/features/tags), and manage recruiter relationships in the [Contacts](/features/contacts) tab.
