In simple English

Finding a new job takes hours of searching, writing custom cover letters, and filling out repetitive forms. This self-hosted program runs on your own computer and automates the entire process. It scrapes career pages across the web and scores new listings against your experience using artificial intelligence. It can also tailor your résumé for specific positions and fill out job applications automatically. You can run it for yourself or set up accounts for up to five members of your household.

What it is

A self-hosted, multi-account web application that automates job discovery, AI-assisted résumé tailoring, and application tracking. It uses Docker to run a Python and PostgreSQL backend alongside a React dashboard, supported by a browser extension for form autofill.

What it is good for

Job seekers who want to stop manually searching multiple job boards, rewriting résumés, and filling out tedious application forms by hand.

Good
  • Scrapes dozens of job boards and company career pages automatically.
  • Tailors your résumés and generates custom cover letters using your choice of AI model.
  • Supports multiple household accounts with individual settings and optional PIN protection.
Watch for
  • Requires Docker knowledge and a dedicated server or always-on computer to run continuously.
  • Depends on external AI providers and API keys or CLI logins for scoring and generation.
  • Scraping major job sites can break frequently due to website layout changes and bot protections.
Replaces

Manually searching job boards, copying and pasting descriptions into chat windows, and filling out repetitive application forms.

Works well with

Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server)
