I Replaced My Job Application Spreadsheet With a Privacy-First Tracker

I Replaced My Job Application Spreadsheet With a Privacy-First Tracker Like most job seekers, I started with a Google Sheet. Columns for company, role, date applied, status, notes. It worked for the first 10 applications. By application 30, the spreadsheet was chaos. Outdated statuses, missing links, duplicate entries. I'd open it, feel overwhelmed, and close it without updating anything. The Problem With Existing Tools I tried Huntr, Teal, and a few others. They all had the same issue: they wanted my CV uploaded to their servers, parsed by their AI, stored in their databases. As someone who builds software, I know what happens to that data. What I Built Instead Dossier takes a different approach: Local-first storage — your data stays on your device PII sanitisation — before any AI processing, personal details are stripped Smart matching — AI-powered job-CV matching without exposing your identity Simple tracking — applied, interviewing, offered, rejected. That's it. The Technical Bits
