Without it
- Every session starts with "so, where are we?"
- Spreadsheets in a different shape for every client, out of date by Friday
- No way to tell who's quietly stopped applying until it's been weeks
- Follow-ups forgotten, so applications go cold
See every client's job search without asking for an update
Ungated is a job search tracker your clients keep for themselves and share with you. You get one page with everyone on it: who's applying, who's stalled, which follow-ups are due and what's coming up. Your sessions can go to strategy instead of catching up.
It's free for coaches. No card, no subscription, no seat license.
Stop chasing spreadsheets
Most coaches piece a client's search together from screenshots, shared spreadsheets and "how's it going?" emails. Ungated keeps it in one place that updates itself.
With Ungated
- You open a session already knowing what happened this week
- Every client on the same board, kept up to date by the client as they go
- Activity charts show who's slowing down while there's still time to help
- Follow-ups come due on a clock, for your client and for you
How it works
Your clients stay in charge of their own boards. You see what they choose to share.
-
Create a free account
Sign up with your email or Google and choose Helping someone with theirs. You get the coach page. There's nothing to install.
-
Your clients invite you
Each client starts their own free board and clicks Invite. They choose whether you can view it, or edit it so you can add jobs for them.
-
Everyone on one page
Each client who shares with you shows up on your coach page and stays current as they work, on their laptop or their phone.
What you see
The coach page is built for a full roster, whether that's three clients or thirty.
Your whole roster at a glance
Every client who shares with you, with where their search stands: how many applications are open, how many are interviewing and who has gone quiet.
Next steps for the next two weeks
Your clients' next actions on a day strip, and the follow-ups coming due or overdue, so you know who to nudge and when.
Activity, week by week
A chart of each client's applications, follow-ups, interviews and other activities by week or by day. You'll see a slowdown while there's still time to do something about it.
Interviews, dated
Each card shows how far it went and when: phone screen, technical, onsite, final round. That makes interview prep easy to plan.
Work search records
Job fairs, workshops, networking and résumé updates show in an Other activities panel, covering the last four weeks. That's useful if your clients are on unemployment and have to log their search for the state.
Suggest a job
On a board you can edit, + Add a job takes a few fields (company, role, link, contact and why you picked it). It lands in your client's Prospects with your note, and they're told the next time they open their board.
What your clients get
A board they'll actually keep up, because it helps them as much as it helps you. Every feature is on the free board.
A follow-up clock
Applications come due for a follow-up after 14 days, and cards turn amber, then red. One click records that they followed up.
Weekly goals
Targets for applications, follow-ups and other activities, with rings that fill as the week goes and milestones along the way.
Unemployment log
A work search record that follows their state's rules (ten states built in, any other set by hand), printable by benefit week.
A picture of their effort
Their search as a chart to share: applications, interviews, the companies that ghosted them. Counts only, never names.
Works anywhere, even offline
It runs in the browser on their laptop and their phone, and syncs when they're back online. Nothing to install.
Theirs to keep
It's their board, not yours. They keep it after you finish working together, and they can download all of it any time.
Paying for it
Free to start, and nothing that renews by itself.
Free for you, free to start for them
A coach account costs nothing, however many clients share with you. A client's board is free for its first 30 cards, with every feature. After that, a pass they buy once lifts the limit for a month or three. No auto-renew, no card on file.
Or cover your clients yourself
Buy board-months in a block, at a coach's price, and give them to the clients you choose. A board-month is one client covered for 30 days, so a block can cover one client for a year or a dozen for a month.
Give days straight onto a board a client shares with you, or hand a new client a gift code before they've even signed up.
Nobody pays twice
One payer per board per day. If your client pays, you ride free. If you pay, they do. New days queue after the days already covered, so they never overlap.
Unused days come back
When a client lands a job early, Take back the days you put on their board that they haven't used, and they go back to your bank for your next client. If a client stops sharing with you, those days come back by themselves.
Built on your clients' trust
Coaching works when clients are open with you. Ungated keeps the board theirs, so sharing it is easy.
Invited, never imposed
Clients choose to share, choose whether you can view or edit, and can take your access back whenever they like. You can't see a board nobody shared with you, and you can't add yourself to one.
Their data stays theirs
No ads, no tracking cookies, and we don't sell or share anyone's data. If a client deletes a card, you see only the company, the role and when it went. The privacy policy says exactly what we keep and who sees it.
Who it's for
Anyone who helps people find work and wants to see how it's going.

Running a program? Partner organizations get a code that gives their members free days. A school can instead give them to everyone who signs up with its email address, and see how its students are doing, all together. A company or an outplacement firm sees the same for the people who used its codes. Contact us for a demo.
Questions coaches ask
Do my clients need to pay for me to see their boards?
No. Sharing works on a free board. A pass only matters once a board passes 30 cards, and you can cover that yourself if you like.
Can I invite a client to Ungated?
Send them to the site and ask them to share their board with you. Access is always the client's to give. If you want to cover them from the start, make a gift code on your passes page and send them the link: the days become theirs when they sign up.
Can I change my clients' cards?
Only if they share their board with you as an editor. Then you can add jobs for them from the coach page. With view access you see everything they share and change nothing.
What happens when a client gets the job?
Their board stays theirs. If you covered them, take back the days they haven't used from your passes page, for your next client. If they paid, they can bank theirs for later.
Can I keep a job search of my own too?
Yes. Your coach page can start a board of your own whenever you want one, and it works like any job seeker's.
Is there anything to install?
No. It runs in the browser on a computer or a phone, and you sign in with an emailed link or with Google. There's no password.
