Hi Product Hunt, I'm Mike, an Army veteran and the maker of ClearanceTrail.
The SF-86 is the form you fill out for a U.S. security clearance. It asks for up to 10 years of addresses, jobs, references, and travel, month by month. When I filled mine out, the questions weren't the hard part. Digging through old PCS orders, leases, and emails to rebuild that history was.
ClearanceTrail is the tool I wanted then:
- One timeline for addresses and jobs, with gap and overlap checks
- Encrypted on your device, so we can't read your history
- Built for military life: barracks, deployments, PCS moves, APO/FPO addresses
- Free tools: the SF-86 Readiness Checklist and a Readiness Score quiz
What it isn't: it's a readiness and organizing tool, not the official form (you still submit in NBIS eApp). It isn't legal advice, it isn't affiliated with any government agency, it never asks for your SSN or anything classified, and it can't predict or speed up a clearance decision.
There's a free plan, with optional Pro for sync and extra helpers. I'd really value feedback, especially from anyone who's been through the process or helps new hires through it as an FSO. Questions: hello@clearancetrail.com.
