- The Activity widget shows a 7-day bar chart of how many applications you submitted each day, plus your current streak.
- A streak counts your consecutive days of applying β it resets the moment you skip a day.
- The Goal widget lets you set a target number of applications Per week or Per month and tracks your progress.
For an overview of all Dashboard widgets, see Your Dashboard overview. This article details the Activity chart, streaks, and goals.
The 7-day Activity chart
The Activity widget plots one bar per day for the last seven days, with today highlighted. The taller the bar, the more applications you submitted that day. Hover any bar to see the exact count and which day it was.
The number in the top-right corner is your total for the rolling 7-day window β the this week count β so the headline figure always matches the bars below it. Empty days still show as a faint column, which makes gaps easy to spot.
π‘ Tip Activity counts every tracked application β whether it came from Quick Apply, Autopilot, Gmail sync, or a manual entry in your Tracker.
How streaks work and reset
Just below the chart you'll see your streak β for example, 5-day streak with a flame icon. A streak is the number of consecutive days you've applied to at least one job, counting back from today.
- Apply to one or more jobs today and your streak ticks up by a day.
- Keep applying each day and the count keeps climbing.
- Miss a day with no applications and the streak resets to zero.
If you haven't applied yet, the widget reads Apply today to start a streak. One application is enough to start β you don't need to hit your full goal to keep a streak alive.
π Note Streaks are based on the day an application was tracked, in your local time zone. Applications added later by scanning Gmail count for the day they were originally submitted, so backfilling past applications can fill in earlier days.
Setting a weekly or monthly goal
The Goal widget shows your progress as a big current / target number with a progress bar. To change it:
- On your Dashboard, find the Goal widget and click the pencil (edit) icon in its top-right corner.
- Set your Target β the number of applications you want to reach (anywhere from 1 to 100).
- Choose a Period: Per week or Per month.
- Click the check mark to save.
Tracking your goal
Once saved, the widget tracks how close you are. The progress bar fills as you apply β shown as individual segments for smaller targets, or a single bar for larger ones. Below it you'll see how far you have to go, like "3 more to hit your weekly goal."
When you reach your target, a green Goal met badge appears, and if you keep going it shows how many applications you are over (for example, +2 over). Your goal is a personal motivator β nothing pauses or changes when you hit it, so feel free to keep applying.
π‘ Tip Goals and Autopilot daily limits are different things. Your goal is a target you choose to track progress; the daily limit is how many applications Autopilot will submit before pausing each day. Set a goal Autopilot can comfortably help you reach.
Building momentum
Activity, streaks, and goals work best together: a realistic weekly goal gives you a target, your streak rewards showing up daily, and the Activity chart shows whether your pace is holding. If you'd rather not think about it day to day, let Autopilot apply on a schedule so your activity stays steady automatically.
