The application tracker that doesn't let go along the way
A spreadsheet handles twenty rows just fine. What it can't do is tell you where each application stands when four processes are moving at once. Prepint does.

What Prepint tracks for you
One dated next action per application
"Follow up with Camille on September 4." The dashboard sorts your applications by deadline and flags overdue ones in red: you open the app and you know what to do.
Seven statuses, the whole journey
From "about to apply" to "accepted", through interview, offer and rejection. Enough to reflect the reality of a process, few enough that you keep the board up to date.
A prep sheet generated from the posting
Paste the job link: Prepint reads the page and suggests the role's responsibilities, key facts about the company, and likely questions. Fully editable.
Contacts attached to the application
The recruiter, the manager, the person who referred you. Attached to the application they relate to, so you can find them three weeks later.
Interviews in a calendar view
Every application carries its interview date, and all upcoming dates are visible at a glance in a dedicated view.
How does it compare to a spreadsheet?
Excel remains a great starting point, and we won't pretend otherwise: as long as you keep the file up to date, it does the job. The useful comparison is about what it asks you to maintain.
| Spreadsheet | Prepint | |
|---|---|---|
| Set up tracking | You build the columns | Ready to use |
| Add an application | Manual entry for each field | The job link pre-fills the record |
| Prepare for the interview | A notes tab, if you think of it | A sheet generated from the posting |
| Find a contact | A column, or another file | Attached to the application |
| Know what to do today | A filter on a date column | Deadlines sorted, overdue first |
| Check on mobile | Painful | Installable app |
| See upcoming interviews | A manual sort by date | A calendar view |
If you'd rather stick with a file, our tracking spreadsheet guide details the columns that actually matter.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Prepint really free?
- Yes. Creating an account and tracking your applications is free, no credit card required. You sign in with your Google or LinkedIn account, no password to remember.
- How many applications can I track?
- No limit is applied today. That said, experience shows that beyond about fifteen active applications in parallel, it's your own capacity to keep up that becomes the limiting factor, not the tool.
- Can I import my existing Excel file?
- Not yet: file import isn't available. In practice, getting started is quick — you only re-enter the applications still active, and pasting the job link fills in a good part of the record.
- How is the prep sheet generated?
- You paste the job link. Prepint reads the posting page and drafts a sheet from it: the role's responsibilities, what to know about the company, and likely interview questions. Everything stays editable — it's a starting point, not a certainty.
- Does it work on phone?
- Yes. Prepint is an installable web app: from your mobile browser, "Add to Home Screen" installs it like a regular app, with its own icon.
- What happens to my data?
- Your applications are visible only to you, unless you voluntarily join a class: your coach then sees aggregated progress (number of applications, status, last activity), never their content. You can leave a class at any time. The terms and how to exercise your rights are detailed in the privacy policy.
