Administrative Application Tracker

A permit, licence, or visa application can sit in a queue for months with no update. Know exactly how long it's been, and exactly when a deadline is approaching, without digging through old emails.

"Still pending" isn't a status you can act on

An application submitted to a government agency can go quiet for weeks, and it's easy to lose track of exactly when it was filed, whether a statutory response deadline has already passed, or how many days remain before a decision is due. Without a running count, "it's been a while" is a feeling, not something you can point to.

This tracker turns every application into two exact numbers — days since submission, days until deadline — updated automatically as time passes.

  • Application Log — every permit, licence, visa, or filing, with the agency, submission date, and reference number
  • Automatic Day-Count Calculations — days since submission and days until any applicable deadline, calculated for you
  • Status Summary Dashboard — a single view of every application's current status, sorted by urgency

Step by step

  1. Log each application with its submission date, reference number, and any known statutory deadline.
  2. Let the tracker calculate days-since-submission and days-until-deadline automatically.
  3. Check the status dashboard to see which applications need attention first.
  4. Update the status as you hear back, keeping one running record instead of scattered notes.
