I did find it difficult when I was applying for jobs. I had reasons for applying to hundreds of companies through different sources and I used google spreadsheet to keep track. I felt it was not enough when I started getting updates and keeping track of previous conversation became painful. So I put together a django application to do this. I just pushed it to github [1] I didn't need much of features on web UI, I used default admin app.

I never thought of searching for something like this, so options suggested in comments here are new to me, and not being arrogant but if I have to do job search again then I will still use my django app because - its good enough, self hosted, can modify at any time, etc.

however, to answer your question: Yes, I do feel there is a need for no-bs-app for doing this. Not everyone is a developer, they do need ready-to-use app.

will I pay? : if I am looking for switch from current one then probably, if I don't have a job then no.

If you need any help with workflows, feedback, ux etc, would be glad to help (for free)
