Application tracker
Know exactly where every application stands.
Every application, across all your children, from shortlist to offer — in one private board that always shows what's next.
Free for parents · no card needed · private to you
Without Houseroom
Right now it all lives in your head and your inbox
Registered at six schools, assessed at three, an offer to reply to by Friday — and it all lives in your head and your inbox. Add a second child and the threads cross, and the thing you forget is the thing that mattered.
What makes it different
Why track applications works here.
Not another feature list — the specific things only Houseroom does, and why they matter for the decision in front of you.
A pipeline, not a pile of emails
Each application moves through clear stages — registered, assessed, interviewed, offer — so one glance shows where every school stands.
Shortlist → offer
Wired to the real deadlines
Carries each school's dates, so it surfaces the next action and flags the reply-by date you can't let slip.
Linked to the calendar
Built for more than one child
Run two or three children's applications side by side without the threads tangling — each keeps its own pipeline.
Multi-child by design

How it works
Three steps, start to finish.
Add your shortlist
Pull the schools you're applying to straight into the tracker from your saved list — per child.
Move each stage
Mark registrations, assessments, interviews and offers as you go; the board keeps the timeline current.
Act on what's next
The tracker surfaces the next due date and reply-by deadline for each child, so nothing slips through.
Who it's for
Parents applying to several schools — often for more than one child — who need one reliable source of truth for where every application actually stands.
FAQ
Questions parents ask.
Is the application tracker free?
Yes. The tracker is part of the free Houseroom parent account — there's no charge to follow your applications from shortlist to offer, and no card needed to start. Schools never pay to change a stage or push anything into your view.
Do schools see my tracker?
No. Your tracker is private to your account and visible only to you. Schools cannot see your pipeline, which schools you're weighing, or where each application stands — unless you choose to enquire with a school or share with them directly.
Can I track applications for more than one child?
Yes. Each child gets their own application pipeline, and you can view them separately or together. The tracker is built for families applying for several children at once, so the deadlines and stages never get confused between them.
Does it connect to the deadline reminders?
Yes. The tracker is wired to each school's admissions calendar, so it surfaces the next due date for every application and flags the reply-by dates you can't miss — without you keeping a separate diary in step.
What stages does an application move through?
A typical flow is shortlisted, registered, assessed, interviewed, offer received and accepted. You update each stage as your child progresses, and the board reflects exactly where every school sits.
Do I need an account, and will my progress save?
Yes — the tracker lives in your free parent account, which means your progress is saved automatically and synced across devices. Start on your phone in the school run queue, pick it up on a laptop that evening.

Still deciding?
The honest answers.
Is this really free, or is there a catch later?
It's genuinely free. The tracker, your saved shortlist and deadline links are all part of the free parent account — no card, no trial clock. Houseroom is independent and schools can't pay to rank or edit, so we don't make money by charging you to see where your applications stand.
Will schools know I'm tracking them or comparing them?
No. Your tracker is completely private. A school never sees that it's on your board, where it sits against others, or which offers you're weighing. Nothing reaches a school unless you deliberately enquire or share with them.
