  • Click on a notification to see quick job details, with an option to go to the site.
  • Save job application details for easy reviewing later and to reduce effort required when applying to new jobs.
  • Track application status and write notes.
  • Ability to explicitly hide jobs
  • Backup / restore of settings.
  • Show timezone difference to current location.
