https://huntr.co/ - Tool for keeping your applications and search organized on a Trello-style board. they also have a chrome extension for quickly adding jobs from various sources.
https://breezy.hr - I used this one as a recruiter. It is actually built for HR departments but has a chrome extension and can be helpful for adding people and specific individuals you're reaching out to. This way you remember to follow up and can find like-minded people. One catch is that you need a custom email address like @your-domain.com. Signing up with your gmail account won't work.
https://betalist.com/jobs/collections - companies and jobs grouped by category like female led startup or decentralize all the things for blockchain related jobs.
