Recommendations for free job-search tools (Detroit)

I am tracking my applications in a notebook and want something better. I have been trying to stay organised about it. A spreadsheet with dates and follow-ups worked a little. Are there tools to avoid?

Set a weekly follow-up reminder on your phone. It is free and effective.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
