In simple English

This tool helps you find and apply for jobs without sending your data to a third-party website. You paste a job link or description into your terminal. The program compares the job against your CV and tells you if it is a good fit. It can also write tailored resumes, cover letters, and interview preparation guides. You always make the final choice and press submit yourself.

What it is

A local-first JavaScript command-line tool that integrates with AI coding assistants to automate job hunting tasks. It keeps all of your tracking data on your own machine and uses Playwright (a browser automation library used for testing web applications) to check if job listings are still active.

What it is good for

Job seekers who want to stop wasting time on poor-fit job postings and need help tailoring their CV and cover letters for automated screening systems.

Good
  • Keeps all your personal CV and application data locally on your computer.
  • Writes customized, readable CVs and cover letters for each specific job.
  • Never submits an application automatically, leaving every final decision to you.
Watch for
  • Requires familiarity with command-line interfaces and AI coding tools to run smoothly.
  • Depends on external AI providers and API keys which can cost money over time.
  • PDF generation relies on browser components that may need extra setup on some Linux distributions.
