About Trekky

Built by one person who hated spreadsheets.

Trekky is a small, opinionated job tracker for individual job seekers. No team workflows. No enterprise SSO. Just a clean way to manage your own search.

Why I built this

I'm Sam - a full-stack developer based in New Zealand. As an engineer, I like building clean systems. But the tech job market is pure chaos. Trekky started the fifth time I lost a recruiter's reply somewhere between a Notion page, a Google Sheet, and a folder of bookmarked tabs - and I'm still using it for my own ongoing search.

Most job tracking tools are either bloated team CRMs or one-page link savers. Neither fit a developer applying to dozens of roles, juggling different stages, and trying to remember which version of the resume went where.

So I built the thing I wanted: a Kanban that's actually fast, an extractor that pulls the boring fields automatically, a clean UI built for speed rather than enterprise feature bloat, and a small set of purpose-built AI tools to automate the actual bottlenecks: summarizing company tech stacks, preparing for behavioral interviews, and drafting context-aware follow-ups.

What I won't do with your data

Job search data is sensitive - your resume, the companies you've approached, the salaries you're negotiating. Here's where I stand on that:

  • Your resume stays yours

    Trekky does not sell your resume or use private job-search data to train generalized AI models.

  • No employer-side product

    Trekky has no recruiter dashboard or employer tier. Your pipeline is not sold or shared with employers or recruiters.

  • Access and deletion controls

    You can request a data export and delete your account from settings. The Privacy Policy explains access, retention, and deletion.

  • Integration controls

    Calendar and Gmail connections are optional. You can disconnect them and revoke access when you choose.

The full details live in our Privacy Policy.

What I'm improving

Current work is focused on:

  • Smart follow-up reminders that actually understand interview cadence.
  • Better extraction from non-LinkedIn job boards.
