Stage history

Trackur keeps an automatic record of when each job was created and every time it moves between stages, so you can always see how an application progressed through your pipeline. There is nothing to set up or switch on.

What gets recorded

Trackur records a history entry:

• When a job is created — whether through the Add Job panel, a column's + button, or a CSV import. The entry notes which stage the job started in.
• When a job's stage changes — no matter how you change it: dragging a card to another column on the board, changing the Stage field in the Edit panel, or tapping the stage badge on a mobile board card (see Trackur on mobile).

Nothing else creates entries. Editing other fields — notes, dates, next steps, resumes — leaves history untouched, and archiving or unarchiving a job doesn't create an entry either, since the job's stage doesn't change.

Viewing a job's history

Open a job in the Edit panel and scroll to the bottom. Once a job has at least one recorded entry, a History section appears below Notes, listing entries newest first. Each line reads either:

• "Applied → Interviewing" — the job moved from one stage to another, or
• "Created in Applied" — the stage the job started in.

The date of each event appears on the right in your locale's short date format (for example, 07/13/26). Only dates are shown, not times of day. If you change the job's stage while the panel is open, the timeline updates immediately with the new entry.

History is read-only

Entries are written automatically the moment a change happens — there is no way to edit, delete, or add entries by hand. That means a job's timeline always reflects what actually happened, and it can't be forged or tidied up after the fact.

When history is deleted

• Deleting a job permanently deletes its history along with it.
• Replace all during a CSV import deletes every job in your account — and with them, all accumulated history. Re-imported jobs start over with a single "Created in" entry each.

History powers your stats

The Average time in stage section of the Stats view is computed from stage history: for each stage, it averages how long jobs stayed there before moving on. The longer you track jobs in Trackur, the more useful that breakdown becomes.
