Job Trail is a simple tracker for your own job applications, on iPhone and Mac. It is built to collect nothing about you — no account, no tracking, no ads, no analytics, and no servers of our own. Your data syncs only through your own private iCloud.
Nothing about you personally. There are no accounts to create with us, no email to enter, and we operate no server that could receive your data. The app uses no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Everything you add to Job Trail is stored on your device (using Apple's SwiftData) and synced across your own devices through your private iCloud (Apple's CloudKit), so the same list appears on your iPhone and your Mac:
This data lives in your iCloud account, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy, and is visible only to you. We have no server and no way to access it. Deleting the app removes it from that device; removing the app's data from your iCloud (via iCloud settings) removes the synced copy.
Job Trail connects to Apple's iCloud, and only for one purpose: to sync your own job list across your own devices. It contacts no other servers and sends nothing to us or to any third party. It also works offline — your changes sync the next time you're online. Separately, if you tap a job's saved link, your device opens that web address in your default browser; at that point your browser — not Job Trail — handles the request, under its own privacy policy.
The app requests no special permissions — no location, contacts, camera, or photos. (iCloud sync uses the iCloud account already signed in on your device; there is no separate sign-in.)
Job Trail is a general-audience productivity app and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. (It collects nothing from anyone.)
If this policy ever changes, we'll update this page and note what changed.
