TrackBack Extension

Actively applying to internships? Full-time roles? Let TrackBack track your job applications with just a few keyboard shortcuts. No more of manual input or maintaining extensive spreadsheets!

Also, you can configure a \"paste-able\" item on each of the numbers from 0-9 from the TrackBack settings and paste like a boss with Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, ... 0. Sort of a clipboard on steroids!
