Project management simplified?

Question

I'm looking for an offline project management software that can track (and record history of) job status and status date.

I don't need scrum, gantt, scheduling, email integration, mobile app, or any other bells and whistles.

The statuses will not always be in order, and not all jobs will go through all statuses.

I want to be able to see a list of jobs and their current status, something like:

Tom A.       Received                  01/03/18
     Dick B.       In Progress              02/05/18
     Harry C.     Waiting for Client      03/10/18

... and there's a way to see when Dick and Harry were Received, when Harry was In Progress, etc.

I've been using spreadsheets, but keeping the history is a huge pain.

Any suggestions?  Thanks!

If "offline" isn't a dealbreaker, take a look at Trello.  You can make a single user online account free.  It might give you ideas, at any rate.

Seems I recall hearing about an Open Source product, similar to Trello, that CAN be run offline.  I'll have to search my notes for it, and come back here.

EDIT:
The Open Source product I was thinking of is called "Wekan".  But, unless you're a real techie, its installation is probably beyond your skills.

Do give Trello a look.
