About us

We're a small team of people who've spent our careers on the hiring side and beside job seekers, and we built the tracker we wished they all had.

Welcome. We're glad you're here.

Looking for work can be exhausting in ways that are hard to explain to someone who hasn't been through it. Applications disappear without a word. Follow-ups pile up. You try to keep track of every conversation, every opportunity, every small sign that your effort might be paying off. Sometimes you wonder whether anyone sees how hard you're trying.

Ungated started with a simple idea: people looking for work deserve better tools, more control over their own information, and a little less weight to carry.

We built it for the people doing their best in difficult circumstances. For the person sending applications after another long day. For the job seeker trying to make unemployment paperwork add up. For the coach trying to help someone find their footing. For the friend who wants to help but doesn't know what to ask.

We want to make the work visible. Give you one place to organize your search, remember the people you've spoken with, follow up when it matters, and see the progress that can be so easy to lose sight of. And when you need help, we want it to be easier to bring someone you trust alongside you.

We also believe that your career data belongs to you. That's why every feature is available on the free board, paid passes never auto-renew, and you can download or delete your data whenever you choose. We don't want to profit from holding your data hostage.

We're a small team, and this is personal to us. We're building Ungated because we believe practical tools, honest support, and a little more visibility can make a hard stretch of life more manageable.

We won't promise that an app can fix a broken job market, but we can promise that we're trying to build something useful, and that we'll listen when you tell us how to do better.

And when you land that job? You won't need us anymore, and that'll be the best outcome we could ask for.

Until then, we're pulling for you.

The Ungated team

Join us

We're a small team, and we're growing. If one of these sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Partnerships & community

Bring Ungated to the people who help job seekers: workforce boards, career centers, veteran and alumni groups, bootcamps, and communities for people who've been laid off. You know how to start a conversation and keep it going.

Content & social

Tell the story of the job search as it really is: the ghosting, the numbers, the small wins. Posts, short videos and articles for LinkedIn, TikTok and beyond. You write well or you're at home on camera, and you've lived a hard search or watched someone close to you go through one.

Unemployment benefits research

Keep our work search log true to each state's rules, and add more states. Careful, patient work that keeps people's benefits safe. Ideal if you've worked at a state workforce agency or helped people file claims.

Write to [email protected] with a little about you, the role that caught your eye, and how you'd like to be involved.

How we work

Tested by the people it's for

Recruiters, career coaches and job seekers on our team use each change before it ships, and tell us when something's confusing, unfair or missing.

Fair by design

Every feature works free. Passes are bought once, with no auto-renew and no card on file, and unused days can be refunded within 14 days of buying. See pricing and the terms.

Your data stays yours

Your board is kept on our server so it syncs and can be shared. Only you and the people you choose can see it. We don't sell it or use it for ads, and our admin tools never show what's on a card. You can download it any time, and deleting your account deletes it (gone from our backups within 14 days). The privacy policy says exactly what we keep and why.

Talk to us

Questions, ideas, or something not working? Contact us. A person on the team reads every message and replies within 24 hours on business days.

Start your board, free.Every feature, no card, no subscription. Bring your coach whenever you're ready.
