Write it once.
Pocket it forever.
Application forms keep asking the same questions. Backpocket is one place to keep track of everything you've applied for, and to save the answers you write so you never have to start from scratch again.
- No AI touches your answers
- Private by default
- Cancel any time, keep your bank
- UK and US friendly
What you get, in plain English
Backpocket is four simple tools that work together. Use one or use them all.
A board for your applications
Every job or course you're going for, in one place, sorted by where it's up to. Drag it along when you hear back.
Saved → Applied → Interview → OfferA bank for your answers
Each time you write a good answer on a form, save it here. Tag what it shows off, like teamwork or leadership.
“Tell us about a time you worked in a team”A finder that remembers for you
When a new form asks something similar, paste the question in. Backpocket shows you the answers you've already written for it.
“You've been there. 2 past answers fit.”A vault for your CVs and links
Keep every version of your CV, your portfolio and links to your work, and see exactly which ones you sent where.
CV v3 + Portfolio 2026 → sent to 4 jobs
How you use it
Add what you're applying for
Type in the company and when it closes. It goes on your board, and we'll remind you before the deadline.
Save your answers as you write them
Written a good answer on a form? Paste it into your Answer Bank and tick what it shows off. That's it, it's pocketed.
Paste the next question in
When another form asks something similar, paste the question into Backpocket. It finds your answer, helps you cut it to the word limit, and you copy it across.
Everything is your own words. Nothing is written for you, and nothing is shared unless you choose to.
Built like workwear. A pocket for everything that matters.
Too long for the form? Switch sentences off until it fits.
Forms have word limits. Trim mode splits your answer into sentences, and you tap the ones to leave out until it fits. The word count updates as you go. Nothing is rewritten for you, you just choose what stays.
See which answers actually get you interviews.
When you use an answer, note which application it went to. When that application gets an interview, Backpocket counts it, so over time you can see which answers work best.
- Times used
- 5
- Interviews
- 3

- 60%
Jot down things you've done, before you forget them.
Stories are rough notes about things you've done: a tricky shift, a project, a society you ran. Backpocket shows which skills you've got a story for, and which ones you're missing, so you're not scrambling the night before a deadline.
- Teamwork · 1
- Leadership · 2
- Resilience · 2
- Problem-solving · 2
- Creativity · gap
- Influencing · gap
Every application on one screen. Arranged your way.
Each application is a card. Drag it from Applied to Interview to Offer as things happen. Lay it out left to right or top to bottom, and add, rename or delete stages to fit your industry. You'll get reminders before deadlines, not after.
Chase on Friday
Tomorrow, 10:00
You got it.
Got the job? Backpocket keeps working for you.
Flip to "I'm settled" and the board steps aside. Gentle nudges help you pocket your wins as they happen, so your next CV update, pay review or job hunt takes minutes instead of a weekend of trying to remember.
And all the little things you'll wonder how you lived without
Interview briefings
The day before, see exactly which CV and answers you sent them.
Ghosting tidy-up
No reply in three weeks? We quietly archive it so your board stays clean.
"Applied before" warnings
See when you last applied somewhere, and which answers you used.
Offer deadlines
Never let an offer lapse because the email got buried.
Calendar sync
Deadlines and interviews appear in Google or Apple Calendar automatically.
Words and characters
Live counts for both, because every form has its own idea of a limit.
Make it yours
Themes, dark mode, rearrangeable screens and a dyslexia-friendly font.
Every kind of application
Modes for jobs, grad schemes, uni, scholarships and anything else you apply for.
The old way
- Answers scattered across a dozen docs called "final FINAL v3"
- A spreadsheet you stopped updating in week two
- Missed deadlines you only noticed after they closed
- Rewriting "teamwork" from scratch, again
The Backpocket way
- Every answer tagged, versioned and one paste away
- A board that's quicker to update than to ignore
- Reminders before deadlines, not after
- "You've been there." Your best answer, ready to go
Job hunting's lonely. It doesn't have to be.
Backpocket works just as well on your own. If you'd like company, team up with mates, share a weekly goal and cheer each other on.
- Off unless you start or join a crew
- Nothing is shared until you switch it on, item by item
- Your answers, stories, CVs and salary are never shared
- Go quiet or leave any time, and nobody is told
You're sharing: nothing yet. Every sharing switch starts off, and you choose what each crew sees.
Made by humans. Written by you.
Recruiters can spot a chatbot answer a mile off. Backpocket never writes for you. It organises your own words, helps you find them and makes them fit. Your answers stay private unless you choose to share something.
