Your Workspace, Locally

No account and no hosted backend. Your profile, job database, generated files, browser state, and logs stay on your machine by default.

🔎

Profile-Driven Discovery

Multi-source discovery driven by your target roles, locations, and seniority — tracking where each job came from, removing duplicates, and retiring postings that have closed.

Understand discovery

🎯

Explainable Scoring

A versioned policy scores fit 1–10 from structured evidence, and a per-requirement ledger explains exactly why each score happened.

📝

Audited Materials

Tailored resumes where every bullet traces back to its source, gates guard resumes and cover letters against invented facts, and keyword coverage is measured against the final document.

✅

Supervised Apply

Rehearse with dry runs, keep final browser submission manual, and allow only exact-approved email applications through an owned at-most-once sender.

Work That Survives Interruptions

Durable workflows preserve progress through restarts, retry classified failures, and block new spendful runs when the estimated daily total exceeds a configurable threshold.

Help test JobCtrl on Apple silicon

JobCtrl.dev is the home of this open-source JobCtrl project. If you use an Apple-silicon Mac, spend ten minutes with the synthetic-data demo or current public build and tell us where the first-run experience becomes unclear.

Explore the demo without entering personal data.
Install the current public build when you are ready to try the local workflow.
Report the first point of friction, including your macOS version and the step you reached, but no credentials, resumes, application data, logs, or other personal information.

Even a short “I expected X and saw Y” report helps make the next first run clearer.

Practical JobCtrl Guides

Local-first job search automation — what stays local, what uses the network, and why durable workflows matter.
Open-source job application tracking — connect jobs, evidence, materials, applications, and outcomes.
Resume tailoring without fabrication — keep the posting as context and the Candidate Profile as evidence.
Evidence-based job fit scoring — inspect requirement fit, confidence, eligibility, and corrections.
At-most-once application submission — stop ambiguous employer-facing work from becoming a blind retry.
Temporal workflows in a desktop app — make long-running local automation recoverable and visible.
