Farro: Job Application Tracker

Keep track of job applications without a spreadsheet. Save jobs from a posting and know when to follow up. Free forever, no account.

Keep track of every application without keeping a spreadsheet. 100% free forever. No job limits. Farro is a job application tracker for Chrome. Save a job from the posting in about 10 seconds: click the Farro icon, check the fields and save. Farro tells you when to follow up and when you've probably been ghosted. A spreadsheet can hold a job search if you keep it up. Farro does the upkeep, and logs the date every time you move a job across its board. Already keeping a sheet? Import its CSV, and Farro matches the columns. It's free forever, with no job limit and no account to make. Your search stays in your browser. WHAT YOU GET • The title, company, location and link filled in from the posting • One board for every application, from Saved to Offer • A follow-up flag after 7 business days with no change, and a "Probably ghosted?" question after 30 days • A funnel of your whole search, with your response rate and interview rate above it • CSV import from the spreadsheet you've been keeping, and CSV or JSON export • Everything stored in your browser, and a reminder after 30 days without a backup SAVE A JOB FROM THE POSTING • Click the Farro icon on a job posting, or press Alt+Shift+J. The title, company, location and link fill in, plus the salary and workplace type when the posting lists them. Check the fields and save. • Paste a job link, or right-click a link and choose "Track this job link", and Farro reads the posting without you opening it. • Open a posting you've already saved, and the popup shows where it stands, with a Move to menu. • Farro has page rules for popular job boards, and it reads any posting that publishes standard job data. On any other page, save the title and link, or type the fields in yourself. TRACK EVERY APPLICATION ON ONE BOARD • Seven columns: Saved, Applied, Screening, Interviewing, Final round, Offer and Closed. Rename, reorder or hide any of them, or add your own, like Take-home. • Drag a card, use its Move to menu, or move it from the keyboard. • Switch to the list view to sort, filter and search. • Each job keeps your notes, contacts, tags and the resume version you sent, so you know which resume a recruiter has when they call. • Every change saves as you make it, and you can undo a move or a delete. KNOW WHEN TO FOLLOW UP AND WHEN TO LET GO • After 7 business days with no change, a card says it's time to follow up, and the toolbar icon counts how many are due. Log the follow-up, and the count starts again. • After 30 days with no change, the card asks "Probably ghosted?" Mark ghosted closes the job, and Not yet gives it another 30 days. Farro never sets Ghosted on its own. • You can change both numbers in the settings. SEE YOUR WHOLE SEARCH IN ONE PICTURE • The dashboard draws every job's status history as a Sankey funnel, from Applied through Screening and Interviewing to Offer. A rejection shows up at the stage where it happened, so you can tell whether jobs drop off at the recruiter screen or the final round. • Above the funnel sit your response rate, interview rate, offers and ghosted jobs. • Pick a date range to look at one stretch of your search, or click any part of the funnel to see the jobs in it. • When your search ends, the Screenshot button saves the whole funnel as an image. BRING YOUR SPREADSHEET • Export your sheet as a CSV and import it. Farro suggests a match for each column, shows how many jobs will land before it writes anything, and skips the rows it already has. • Export a CSV any time, with each job's company, role, date applied and status. • A JSON backup holds everything, for safekeeping or a move to another browser. YOUR SEARCH STAYS IN YOUR BROWSER • Your jobs, notes and status history live in Chrome's extension storage on your computer. Farro has no server to send them to, and it collects no analytics. • When you install Farro, it can't read any site. It reads the page you're on only when you click its icon or press its shortcut. • When you paste a link, Farro asks for access to that one site and fetches the page without your cookies, so the request isn't tied to your account on that site. • Everything works offline except reading a pasted link. • Searching while you still have a job? Add Farro to your personal Chrome profile. Each profile keeps its own extensions and data. WHAT FARRO DOESN'T DO Keeping everything in your browser has a cost. Chrome deletes an extension's data when you remove the extension, and Farro keeps no copy anywhere else. Export a JSON backup from the settings menu before you uninstall or switch computers. The dashboard shows when you last made one, and it reminds you after 30 days without one. There's no sync between browsers. To move, export a backup in one and import it in the other. Farro doesn't read your inbox, apply to jobs for you or rewrite your resume. PRICE Farro is free, and it always will be. Every feature above is included, with no subscription and nothing to upgrade to. Your jobs never leave your browser, so there's no data to sell.
