It does the typing. You do the applying.

Running out of AI allowance used to mean pre-fill just stopped. Now the app keeps working for free: it fills everything it already knows without AI (your details, any answer you've corrected before, and fields other users have already solved on the same job board), still attaches your resume, and turns whatever's left into clear questions for you instead of a dead draft. Every answer in Review now shows whether it was filled free or used AI, so you can see exactly what the allowance buys. Paid fills got better too: the app resolves the easy fields first and spends AI only on what's actually left, and the AI double-checks anything the free pass guessed.

Signing in happens on applyforpeople.com now. Hitting Sign in opens our sign-in page in your regular browser, you approve it there, and the app picks it up on its own. The app also starts fast: the window appears immediately with a quick splash while the engine warms up, instead of showing nothing for a while after an update while your antivirus checks the new files. The first-run agreement screen gained an optional checkbox for occasional product updates by email (details in the updated privacy policy, which now also covers the website itself). And running out of AI budget no longer locks you out of applying: Apply still opens the real form for you to fill in yourself, and AutoApply still records your submit. The AI buttons say straight that you need a new pass, instead of hinting at a reset that doesn't happen.

Security release, plus AutoApply runs on Intel Macs now. AutoApply drives a browser that's signed into your job boards, and it holds your resume and your personal details, so the whole codebase went through a dedicated security review. It was run in house with heavy AI assistance, not by an outside firm, and it is not a certification; the security page says exactly what it covered and what it found. The main fix: the link between the app window and the engine running underneath it used to be open to anything else on your machine. It's authenticated now, so a website you happen to have open in another browser can't reach it. Software already running under your own user account is a different matter. At that point it can read your files directly, and no app-level check changes that. Job pages loaded inside the app can no longer ask for your camera, mic, or location, and the apply window now shows you which site you're actually on, which matters when a page is asking you for a password. Saved job board logins are encrypted on disk instead of sitting in a readable file. We also closed two cases where a malicious job posting could have pointed the autofill at a page it didn't belong on. None of this was being exploited, and there's nothing for you to do beyond updating. Intel Macs are supported starting with this build, alongside Apple Silicon and Windows.

AutoApply reads way more of the job market now. Until today it could only pull jobs from the boards startups use (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby). This update adds Workday, the system most Fortune 500 companies run their careers sites on, plus SmartRecruiters, Workable, Recruitee, Teamtailor, BambooHR, and Personio. Paste a company's careers page or their Workday link into Sources and the whole board shows up. Huge boards get filtered to the roles that actually match your profile, so a 1,500-job company doesn't flood your feed. And when you paste a careers site we still can't read, the app now notes which system it runs on (just the company's domain, nothing about you) so we build the next adapters where people actually need them.

Big cleanup from a real user test. Word resumes parse properly now, including your LinkedIn when it's a link instead of typed-out text, and outreach emails end with your actual contact info instead of placeholder junk. New: jobs from your current employer stay out of your feed (there's a toggle if you're applying internally), the pay filter takes yearly salaries instead of making you convert to hourly, and clicking the application preview blows it up full screen. Adding a company by pasting their careers page works way more often now, Ashby boards are supported, and little ? bubbles around the app explain what things like match scores actually do. Gmail setup walks you through it step by step now. And one thing we want on record: first boot now asks you to read and agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy before the app does anything on your behalf.

Applications open instantly now. While you look over a ready draft, AutoApply quietly loads and fills the real application page in the background, so Open & submit swaps it in already done instead of typing in front of you. Watch for the ⚡ on ready drafts. Also: running out of AI budget is clear now. It used to look like the app breaking, with fills coming back empty. Now a banner tells you AI is paused, the AI buttons grey out until your pass resets or you upgrade, and everything else keeps working like normal. The usage meter updates live too.

Your company list grows by itself now. Once a day AutoApply finds new employers in your field with readable job boards and starts pulling their openings, so you never sit staring at the same companies. The Discover button on the Sources tab does the same thing on demand and tells you exactly what it added. First-run setup got tightened too: the steps the app needs are required now (only the resume upload is optional), your starter companies get found automatically during setup, and the Sources tab shows a clear dismissible message when something fails instead of a stuck error screen.

Fixes a crash partway through the new first-run tour. If the tour ever hits a problem again it now just closes itself instead of showing an error screen.

AutoApply now stays useful when you're not looking at it. Closing the window keeps it running in the background from the tray, so scheduled drafting actually happens while you do something else, and you can have it start when you log in. New users get a guided tour on first run, and you can replay it anytime from Settings. Your plan shows one simple usage meter now instead of application counts. Updates install silently with a quick branded screen instead of the installer window, starting with the next update after this one. And the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are linked right in the app.

The Windows installer is signed now. Installing shows a verified publisher instead of the Unknown Publisher warning, and updates carry the same signature. Also in this build: the document preview opens truly full screen, and before an application opens you get a quick look at the exact resume file that will attach, so you can confirm it looks right before the form ever loads.

You can see exactly what employers get now. The Review panel shows the precise file that attaches to each application, named like "Your Name Resume.pdf" instead of an internal filename, with preview and download of those exact bytes. PDF previews open inside the app instead of a blank popup window, and if a Word resume can't merge with your cover letter, the app tells you instead of quietly skipping it.

Bug sweep from a day of real use. The resume preview now shows your margins while you drag the sliders (they were print-only before, so the slider looked dead), the density and margin sliders show live numbers, and a couple of preview rendering errors got fixed. When a form has no cover letter upload, your letter rides along appended to the resume PDF instead of getting dropped.

Design round for the resume studio. Pages fill out properly instead of leaving awkward empty space, you can set custom colors for headings, companies, dates, and links, pick a date format, hide any section with an eye toggle, and lay skills out as a grid. New themes too, including blueprint. That's 13 themes across 5 layouts now.

The resume builder grew into a full-screen studio. Edit on the left, see a true print-size page preview in the middle, and a score rail on the right that grades your resume and matches it against the actual job description, with missing keywords you can click to weave in. Tailoring takes direction now too: pick keywords, choose light or aggressive, emphasize your numbers, or just type instructions.

The resume builder was rebuilt as a block editor. Sections are blocks you reorder and edit in place, and layout and theme are separate choices you can mix, so you pick the structure you want and then the look.

Resume handling got rebuilt on one rule: your file is the source of truth. A PDF you upload attaches exactly as uploaded, byte for byte. Word docs get tailored inside your own file and attach as Word. If you'd rather start fresh, there's a resume builder in the app now. Cover letters are in too, drafted per application and editable before anything attaches.

Follow-ups to the tailored resume rework. Old drafts no longer show a stale template doc, they rebuild from your actual resume on the first tailor. The rendered PDF now matches your header layout too: if your name sits on the left with contact info on the right, that's what you get. And the editor got a proper side-by-side view with a full-size PDF preview that renders the moment you open it.

Tailored resumes now actually look like your resume. Your section order, your headings, and sections like Awards or Coursework all survive tailoring instead of getting reshuffled into a template. There's one document per application now: Tailor keeps your wording, Full rewrite goes harder on matching the job posting, and both edit the same doc that attaches when you submit. A Reset button brings back your resume exactly as uploaded.

The AI under the hood switched to Gemini across the board, including the tailored CV and resume writing. Everything gets faster and cheaper, fills keep the same accuracy. Invited testers also get a new Model lab in Settings to compare two Gemini models head to head on document writing. If a tailored resume can't actually be tailored you now get told instead of a quiet fallback.

Big autofill fix. If you'd applied to a company before, new applications there could come back with nothing filled in even though the AI did the work. That's fixed, and those drafts fill properly now. Forms that live inside a company's careers page open directly so fills stick, and Open & submit finishes the form itself when a saved draft is too thin to be useful.

AutoApply is invite-only for now, so new accounts start locked until you enter an invite code in Settings. If you're already in, nothing changes. Open and submit now shows the application already filled the moment it opens instead of typing in front of you, submitted and applied jobs drop out of your Review queue on their own, and you can select several drafts at once to clear them. Plus a round of reliability fixes: one bad job link can't stall link-checking anymore, applied jobs no longer get stuck in the queue, and a job marked ghosted can update again if it comes back to life.

Every field on a form is accounted for now. The AI either fills it, asks you, or flags it, so nothing gets silently skipped. Checkboxes and radio buttons commit reliably and get double-checked, so "unverified" in Review really means take a look. Application forms embedded inside a company's careers page load and fill without the long stalls they used to hit.

Hotfix: 0.3.12 could install with an empty window. If your app came up blank, this update fixes it. Same features as 0.3.12, now actually visible.

Sign-up pages get a second set of eyes. Before filling an account page, the AI now looks at a screenshot of the actual rendered page, writes down what it sees (which fields, what they want, which button moves forward), and hands that to the filler. Pages that confuse code-only reading don't confuse a picture. Also: sign-ups now use your plain email instead of the tagged variants, and the AI fills whatever is on screen (like your name) even when it plans to sign in instead of sign up.

We surveyed real login pages across the major job sites and taught the filler what they actually look like. Big catch: some sites hide trap fields on their login forms that only bots would fill, and filling one gets you flagged. The filler now spots and skips those. It also knows sites like Greenhouse log in with an emailed code instead of a password, and it reads field hints more carefully so the right value lands in the right box.

Your helper shows its work now. When you fix a field, confirm something it wasn't sure about, or answer a question it couldn't, a small popup shows what it just learned, and it uses that on the next application. Values it couldn't verify stay filled in but get an "unverified" tag instead of being wiped. Listings that need a site login now say so up front, with a note when your login is already saved. On sign-up pages it pauses before hitting Create account unless every field checked out, so half-filled signups don't get sent anymore. It also knows the common login page layouts now (two-step logins, sign-up toggles) and hands CAPTCHA walls straight to you. You can set a preferred username in your profile for sites that want one.

Account pages get filled all the way now. The AI fills first name, last name, and every other profile question on sign-up pages before it hits Create account, picks a username for sites that want one, and remembers it for the next login. It also stops re-clicking buttons that aren't doing anything, so a slow or throttled site can't trap it in a loop anymore.

Logins get the full assistant now. When you open an application that hits a sign-up or sign-in page, the AI finishes the page live instead of leaving half the boxes empty, and the activity log shows exactly which fields it can see. The app also keeps a list of every site account it creates (Settings shows them), reuses those accounts on return visits, and if a site says you already have an account, it tells you to drop that password into Settings so it can sign in for you next time.

Sign-up forms finally fill right. Fields without proper HTML ids used to trick the filler into typing your email where your first name goes; the filler now tracks each field's exact position on the page, so names, email, username, and password all land where they belong, and it double-checks each write and undoes anything that landed wrong. Verified overnight on real YC startup sign-ups. Dead postings that only reveal a 404 after the page loads also get caught and swept out now.

Updating no longer makes the app vanish mid-restart. The installer now shows its own progress box from the moment the app closes until it's back, so you can see the update actually happening the whole way through.

Refresh is fast now. Job sources load at the same time instead of one after another, and the link checking that used to run inside every refresh happens quietly in the background instead, so the spinner is done in seconds. Confirmed-dead postings no longer show up as error rows in your Review queue. And sign-ups use an email address that can actually receive mail, with a heads-up in the app if your account email isn't set up for it.

Dead job links get caught for real now. New listings are checked the moment they arrive, and a posting that keeps turning up with no application form hides itself instead of cluttering your queue. Sign-up forms fill the right boxes, so your email goes in the email field, not First Name. And when a site asks you to verify your email, AutoApply finds the verification link in your inbox, opens it, and keeps filling whatever comes next.

Listings are faster and filtering actually works. Filter or search by year, like internships for 2027, and you'll see every matching role instead of just a couple. Refresh can no longer get stuck spinning. Applications fill more reliably too, with your resume attaching correctly on the major job sites, and updating the app now shows a clean progress window so you can see exactly what's happening.

Full UI redesign: matte light and dark themes, and a sidebar that collapses when you want more screen. Listings are now cards, with search, filters for location, type, term, and pay, and fit scores that score themselves as you scroll. Real company logos, richer job descriptions, and every listing links straight to the company's own page, no more LinkedIn redirects. Onboarding got a refresh too.

Setup takes any job you can describe now, not just tech ones. Describe whatever job you're after (nursing, marketing, accounting, anything) and AutoApply builds a matcher for it, then goes looking for employers in your field whose job boards it can actually read and starts pulling their openings. How many it finds depends on the field, and outside tech it's thinner. Your source list keeps growing on its own from there. Also fixes the setup window running off the screen.

Tracker cards now drag the way you'd expect: no snap-back after a drop, no flickering highlights, and a clear "drop here" target. The window controls also stay reachable while you're reviewing and submitting an application.

AutoApply learns as a network now. When one person hits a dead link or teaches it a tricky field, everyone benefits, and dead postings get skipped before they cost you anything. Your plan is measured in applications with dead-link coverage, both visible in Settings. Sign-ins got smarter: the app remembers your accounts per site, stays logged in between drafts, waits for verification codes, and reads error popups instead of clicking blindly. Also fixes updates themselves: 0.2.4 couldn't see new versions at all, so grab this one from the download button. It's the last manual update you'll ever need.

Speed release. Applications from the Review queue now open on the actual form and fill almost immediately. Tabs load the moment you click them. Settings shows your version with a Check for updates button, and you can send bug reports and suggestions straight from the app.

AutoApply has a face now. New icon on the app, installer, taskbar, and shortcut. The website got it as a favicon too.

Updates now announce themselves inside the app with a "Restart to update" button. No more wondering whether anything happened.

New Tracker: kanban board, a real conversion funnel, weekly goal meter, response times, and follow-up nudges. New Sources: a coverage dashboard that shows which sources actually earn their spot. The app also got noticeably lighter.

First beta build. Sign in, buy a pass, watch your quota meter, and let autopilot start drafting. Auto-updates switched on.
