Programs, documents, referees, scholarships and outcomes, all in one self-updating tracker that shows you exactly where you stand.
You are juggling program portals, referee emails, scholarship pages and statement drafts, and every one of them keeps its own deadline in its own place. One missed date can cost you an entire application cycle.
Sticky notes and a hopeful memory are not a system. You need one place that shows what is due, what is sent, and what is still waiting on somebody else.
This tracker is that place. Six sheets, one dashboard, and no more reopening portals just to check whether you already submitted.
University, program, department, country, start date, deadline and direct link. Every program gets its own row, plus dropdowns for application type so your data stays clean.
Yes/No dropdowns that auto-colour across submitted documents, recommendation letters and interview stages. The status column updates itself, so there is no guesswork.
A row for every document you need, from CV to transcripts, with colour-coded checkboxes and filters so you spot missing files in seconds.
Log source, coverage, amount and deadline, monitor stages and final decisions, and let the dashboard auto-calculate your total awarded.
Credentials, referee contacts and portal logins in one quick-access sheet built for copy-pasting, plus a place for every useful link you would otherwise lose.
Key metrics, phase diagram, funding pie and application outcomes. All auto-calculated. You input the facts, the charts draw themselves.

I'm a researcher who built LucidLab Toolkit because I lived through the exact chaos you're describing: drowning in articles, rereading the same paper twice because I forgot I'd already opened it, and cobbling together spreadsheets that fell apart the moment my project grew.
Every template started as a tool I built for my own lab work and PhD workflow, then refined for other researchers. LucidLab Toolkit templates have helped 120+ students and researchers organize their research process, with buyers noting they became part of their dissertation workflow.
My mission: give you back the mental bandwidth that messy tracking steals. ✦
One tracker. Six sheets. Zero deadline panic.
