How it works
No forms, no copy-pasting into spreadsheets. You talk to your agent anyway — now it keeps your pipeline, too.
Connect your agent
One command: claude mcp add with a token from Settings. Works with any MCP client — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor.
Apply & tell it
Mention applications in plain words — statuses, salaries, interviews, recruiter notes. The agent writes it all down, with attribution.
Review & decide
Dashboard for humans: pipeline, due actions, interview prep, analytics. Every change in a timeline — 🤖 agent or 👤 you.
Built for a real job hunt
Everything a developer actually tracks during a search — nothing you don't.
MCP-native
The agent is a first-class citizen: 8 tools from add_application to attach_analysis. Raw one-liners get parsed — dates, priorities, sources.
Match assessment
Your agent's "why this role fits you" analysis is saved on the application — strengths, gaps, salary advice — not lost in chat history.
Company analysis
Attach agent-researched markdown per company: culture, comp bands, risks, interview process. Expandable right in the detail view.
Interviews & prep
Attendees with profile links, prep materials, recaps, planned/done — and the next interview is always visible on the card.
Pipeline & analytics
Kanban, response rates, weekly activity, salary tracking in EUR. Archive old campaigns without polluting current stats.
Yours, exportable
Magic-link login, revocable API tokens, full JSON export, GDPR delete. Your job search is your data.

Frequently asked questions
What is jobctl?
jobctl (jobctl.app) is a free job application tracker for developers. Your AI coding agent - Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor - records applications, interviews, notes and statuses through an MCP server, while you review and plan in a fast web dashboard. It is not related to the IBM i *JOBCTL special authority or Unix job control - jobctl is a modern job-search tool.
How does jobctl work with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
jobctl ships a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at app.jobctl.app/mcp. Connect it once - via OAuth or an API token - and your agent gets tools like add_application, log_interview and attach_analysis. You just tell your agent "I applied to Bosch as Tech Lead, priority A, follow up Friday" and the tracker stays current.
Is jobctl free?
Yes. jobctl is free for early users - it was built by a developer during his own job hunt. Early birds keep free access.
Does jobctl write my applications with AI?
No. jobctl itself is deterministic - no LLM calls inside, so your data is never used to train models. The AI layer is your own agent: it does the research and writing in your chat, and stores the results (match analysis, company research, statuses) in jobctl so nothing is lost in chat history.
Can I export my data or delete my account?
Always. Full JSON export of applications, analyses, events and interviews, plus one-click GDPR-compliant account deletion. Your job search is your data.
What makes jobctl different from a spreadsheet or Notion board?
Nobody updates a spreadsheet at week three of a job hunt. With jobctl the agent you already talk to does the bookkeeping: parses "Bosch, Tech Lead, prio A, due friday" into structured fields, logs every status change, and reminds you what is due - while the dashboard gives you kanban, response-rate analytics and interview prep in one place.
