LucidTrack

An application tracker for students applying to spring weeks, internships, placements and graduate schemes. I co-founded it and run it as COO.

LucidTrack Ltd · London · launched July 2025

Know where every application stands.

Students juggle dozens of applications at once, usually in a spreadsheet they stopped updating in October. LucidTrack puts every application, round and deadline in one list.

The LucidTrack dashboard: applications listed with their rounds, beside upcoming deadlines.

Impact

521 students at 45 universities have tracked 1,921 applications to 823 companies.

From LucidTrack’s own data, October 2026. Test accounts excluded.

The product

  1. An application in LucidTrack: its rounds listed with deadlines and statuses, beside the role’s details.
    01

    Every application, every round

    Each application shows its rounds as a trail, from online test to offer, with deadlines and days left. So “did I do the HireVue?” finally has an answer.

  2. The LucidTrack Chrome extension open on a careers page, with the company and position filled in.
    02

    Save a role in one click

    The Chrome extension saves the company, role and description from any careers page, and keeps it after the posting vanishes. No more screenshots of job ads.

  3. A phone held up in front of a waterfall in the Lake District, showing a LucidTrack Pro Alerts email with new roles to add to the tracker.
    03

    Job alerts, wherever you are

    Pro alerts email matching roles the moment they open, with one tap to add them to the tracker. (Yes, even halfway up a hill in the Lake District.)

  4. LucidTrack statistics: applications, offers and rejections compared with LucidTrack averages.

    See how a season is going

    Statistics group a season’s applications and compare interviews, offers and rejections with the LucidTrack average. Honest numbers, kindly charted.

    Design and brand

    The product’s look and the brand around it, from the interface down to the flyers handed out at freshers’ fairs.

  • Me at the lectern in a Queen Mary lecture theatre, with LucidTrack on the screen behind her.

    Pitched LucidTrack on QMUL’s entrepreneurship programme and walked off stage with £10,000 in grant funding.

  • Growth on campus

    Getting LucidTrack into students’ hands on campus, starting at Queen Mary.

    Running the company day to day as COO, which mostly means keeping everyone else on track.
