What is Grindstone?

Grindstone is a job interview tracker designed to give tech job seekers a competitive edge. We help you organize your search with structured notes, detailed job information, and even code snippets—all within one tool. This makes it easy to track every step, anticipate questions, and deliver impressive answers in interviews, helping you secure more offers.

If you're managing a high volume of applications, answering behavioral questions, or simply need more structure, Grindstone is for you. We've replaced spreadsheets with a user-friendly kanban board, automatic job-saving powered by AI, and rich, Notion-like note-taking features that help you stay on top of your game.

Whether you're a recent graduate entering the tech industry or an experienced professional seeking new opportunities, Grindstone streamlines your entire job application workflow. Our platform ensures you never miss important details, deadlines, or follow-ups throughout your job search journey.

Use Cases And Features

1. Use AI to auto-copy job listing details automatically

Save valuable time by leveraging our AI-powered automation that instantly captures and organizes job listing information. Simply paste a job URL or description, and Grindstone automatically extracts key details including company name, position title, requirements, salary range, and application deadlines. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures accuracy across all your tracked opportunities.

2. Use Notion-like notes to record and prep for all stages of the interview process

Our rich text editor provides a powerful workspace for comprehensive interview preparation.

The flexible formatting options include headers, bullet points, code blocks, and embedded links to keep all your preparation materials centralized and easily accessible.
