AutoApply

Prepare faster. Review everything. Submit yourself.

A local-first job application assistant for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Brave.

AutoApply combines a browser extension with a local Python service. It reads application forms, resolves known details from your profile and resume, uses your chosen AI model only when needed, and lets you review the result before anything is submitted.

AutoApply never clicks the final Submit button. You stay in control of every application.

Why AutoApply

Local-first	Your profile, resumes, application history, and workspace stay on your computer.
Review-first	Inspect and edit every prepared field before filling the page.
Model-flexible	Use Gemini directly or select any model available through OpenRouter.
Cross-browser	Install on Firefox or Chromium browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Brave.

Features

• Reuses profile details, resume data, policies, approved answers, and learned corrections
• Prepares application fields with confidence and review states
• Handles multi-page forms with AutoPilot and stops before submission
• Builds a persistent review queue from multiple job URLs
• Generates tailored answers, cover letters, fit analysis, and resume versions
• Tracks applications, follow-ups, interviews, contacts, and submission receipts
• Supports light, dark, and system themes across the dashboard and extension
• Works with major ATS platforms and falls back to generic form detection

Loading

Known details stay on the local path. Only unresolved fields are sent to the AI provider you configure, and every route ends with your review before submission.

AI model support

AutoApply currently provides two provider integrations:

• Google Gemini — direct integration using Gemini 2.5 Flash
• OpenRouter — set OPENROUTER_MODEL to any model available to your OpenRouter account

This gives you access to a broad choice of models without tying AutoApply to one AI vendor. Direct API integrations for providers other than Gemini and OpenRouter are not currently included.

Quick start

1. Set up the local service

git clone https://github.com/geckguy/AutoApply.git
cd AutoApply
./setup.sh

Configure one provider in backend/.env:

# Gemini
AI_PROVIDER=gemini
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here

or:

# Any model available through OpenRouter
AI_PROVIDER=openrouter
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_key_here
OPENROUTER_MODEL=provider/model-name
OPENROUTER_PRIVACY_MODE=strict

Start AutoApply:

source backend/venv/bin/activate
python -m backend.main

Open the workspace at http://127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard.

2. Load the extension

Firefox

1. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
2. Choose Load Temporary Add-on.
3. Select extension/manifest.json.

Chrome, Edge, or Brave

1. Open the browser's extensions page and enable Developer mode.
2. Choose Load unpacked.
3. Select the extension-chrome/ folder.

How to use it

1. Add your profile, resume, and reusable details in the workspace.
2. Visit a job application page.
3. Click the extension or press Ctrl+Shift+A.
4. Review the prepared fields.
5. Choose Fill Only, Fill & Next, or AutoPilot.
6. Review the completed application and submit it yourself.

AutoApply includes tailored handling for common platforms such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Taleo, and Oracle. Generic form detection supports many other application sites.

Privacy and safety

• The service and application database run locally.
• There are no AutoApply accounts, analytics, or telemetry.
• Only unresolved fields are sent to your configured AI provider.
• Sensitive authentication, payment, and government-ID fields are excluded.
• AutoPilot advances through safe form steps but never submits an application.

Review your chosen model provider's privacy terms before sending resume or profile information. OpenRouter strict mode requests providers that deny data collection and support zero data retention.
