A job search app that makes the grind feel like progress, not punishment.
A mobile app for job seekers that turns the most demoralizing part of a career search — the endless, feedback-free grind of applications — into something with visible progress and a little friendly competition.
The challenge
Job hunting is repetitive and emotionally draining. You send applications into a void, rarely hear back, and have no sense of whether you're actually making progress. A founder wanted to fix the feeling of job searching, not just the mechanics of it.
What we built
A gamified job-application tracker for mobile, built to turn a solo, thankless grind into something with visible progress and a bit of friendly competition.
- Application tracking — log every application and its status: applied, interview, offer, or rejected
- A points system tied to real job-search actions — applying, following up, landing interviews
- A character customization system — spend earned points on upgrades for a personal in-app character
- Leaderboards — compete against other users, turning a solo grind into something social
- Cross-platform from one codebase, shipped to both iOS and Android
- Push notifications for follow-up reminders and streaks
Every action in the job search — applying, following up, landing an interview — earns points that build a visible sense of progress most job seekers never get.
The technical foundation
One React Native codebase ships to both iOS and Android. Supabase handles authentication and data, with row-level security so a user's private application history — where they've applied, how it went — never leaks into the public leaderboard. Only point totals and character progress are shared; the rest stays private by default.
The outcome
A genuinely fun tool for something that's usually miserable. Users get a visible sense of progress and a reason to keep going, instead of a spreadsheet of rejections.
