What is Apply OS?
Apply OS is a free, private application tracker for internships, scholarships, and grants. It shows a deadline radar, a pipeline of every application by stage, and a recommender tracker, all in the browser with no account.

Apply OS
An application tracker with a deadline radar — for internships, scholarships, grants and fellowships. The spreadsheet you keep meaning to update, except it tells you what is due next and never loses a recommender.
Your data stays on this device. Everything is saved in this browser's localStorage. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account and there is no server. Clearing your browser data — or opening the page in a different browser or in private mode — means starting empty, so export a JSON backup if the list matters to you.
The headline feature
Deadline radar
What is actually due, grouped by how much time is left. Dates are compared calendar-day to calendar-day, so nothing shifts because of a timezone.
Pipeline
Computed only from the entries below — nothing is estimated or filled in for you.
Applications
Board view, grouped by status

| Role / award | Materials | Edit |
|---|
Recommender tracker
Who was asked, when, for what, and whether the letter actually landed. This is the piece students drop most often — a letter that was never submitted fails the application silently.
| Recommender | For | Asked on | Deadline | Submitted |

Your data
Portable by design. Export a backup, move it to another machine, or take it somewhere else entirely — nothing here is locked in.
Saved locally in this browser only.
The .ics file contains one all-day event per future deadline, so you can drop your pipeline straight into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
Is Apply OS free and private?
Yes. It is a static page with no signup and no backend. Every application you log stays in your own browser's local storage on your device, and nothing is sent anywhere.
How should I track internship application deadlines?
Separate hard deadlines from rolling applications, sort by days remaining rather than by company, and log the date you applied plus the next action for each one. Apply OS does this automatically with its deadline radar and pipeline stages.
