Applyd is a job search tracker built specifically for tech job seekers running aggressive, high-volume searches. It tracks both formal applications and outreach conversations in one place, and tells you every morning exactly what needs your attention that day.
Most job trackers were built for passive searchers applying to a handful of roles. Applyd is built for the reality of a modern tech job search: 50 to 100 applications across multiple role types, LinkedIn outreach happening in parallel, multiple resume versions tailored per company, and relationships that go cold if you wait too long to follow up.
The product has one job. Make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Job searching at scale is chaos.
When you are applying to 30 or more companies simultaneously, you are managing more moving pieces than any spreadsheet can hold together. Which companies have you applied to. What stage each one is at. Which resume version you sent where. Who you reached out to on LinkedIn and what they said back. When you last followed up. Whether that silence means they are not interested or just busy.
Existing job boards were built for discovery, not tracking. LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor are ad-driven platforms whose core business is connecting employers to candidates. Tracking your own pipeline is an afterthought to them. The tools that do focus on tracking, like Teal and Huntr, handle formal applications but miss outreach entirely. If you sent messages to five engineers at a company before applying, that context lives nowhere except your LinkedIn inbox and your memory.
The result is predictable. According to Indeed (2025), 60% of job seekers lose track of where they have applied within two weeks. The average tech job search involves 100 to 200 applications according to Zippia (2025). Warm leads go cold. Follow-ups get forgotten. You walk into a recruiter call not remembering what you said in your cover letter.
There is no tool built for the way a competitive tech job search actually works.
The highest-value moments in a job search are not the applications. They are the conversations. A referral from an engineer at a company you want. A recruiter who asked you to follow up in a month. A hiring manager who gave you feedback after a rejection and said stay in touch. These relationships are worth more than 50 cold applications, and right now there is nowhere to track them.
Applyd fixes that.
