In simple English

Looking for a job takes hours of filling out identical online forms. This tool gives your AI coding assistant the ability to do that tedious work for you. It checks your résumé against job descriptions and fills out forms on platforms like Greenhouse, Ashby, and Lever. You stay in control and must approve every single application before it goes out. It is free and open-source, but you need a compatible coding agent to run it.

What it is

JobAppAgent is an agent skill and command-line tool that automates job hunting workflows while keeping your data private. It matches your verified profile to active roles and tracks your confirmed submissions.

What it is good for

Software builders and job seekers who want to speed up repetitive applications on modern job boards without writing custom scripts.

  • Keeps your private profile in your operating system's secure credential store.
  • Stops for security checks like CAPTCHA, multifactor authentication, and legal questions.
  • Lets you review every application in a batch before any submission happens.
Watch for
  • Requires Node.js 20 or newer and an existing browser-capable coding agent to function.
  • Linux users must install and configure a desktop keyring daemon for secure storage.
  • Anonymous community sharing and telemetry are enabled by default and must be explicitly disabled if unwanted.
