AutoApply finds openings that fit you, fills out the real forms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, all of them), and lines up finished drafts for your review. You read it, you hit submit. It never applies without you.
Free trial on every account ยท One-time passes from $10 ยท No subscription ยท Your data stays on your machine
Counted live, straight from the app. It's early and the product is brand new, so these numbers are small. They're real though, not rounded up. When one person hits a dead link, every copy of AutoApply skips it from then on. Your wasted click is the last one.
How it works
Describe the roles you're after in plain words. AutoApply builds a matching profile and pulls listings from thousands of company boards, weeding out dead and irrelevant postings on its own.
Autopilot opens each application in a real browser session, answers the actual questions from your profile, and parks the finished draft in your review queue.
Skim the answers, fix anything you want, and click submit yourself. Every application comes from you, at human speed, in a real browser. Because it did.
Sourcing
AutoApply pulls from thousands of company boards and curated lists, then checks that each listing is actually still open before you ever see it. Listings show up as cards with the company's logo, a real job description, and a fit score that fills itself in as you scroll.
The tracker
Drag applications from Submitted to Offer on a kanban board. Connect Gmail (optional) and the cards move on their own as confirmations, assessments, and interviews land in your inbox. The analytics answer real questions: where's my bottleneck, am I on pace, who do I need to chase โ in a clean matte interface that looks just as sharp in light mode as dark.
Coverage
Every job board and company source gets scored: how many listings it brings in, how many are still live, and how many actually match what you're looking for. Company logos make it easy to scan, so dead weight is obvious at a glance and your search stays wide without getting noisy.
Multi-step Workday flows, account creation, verification codes, weird dropdowns. The agent works the form like a person would, and remembers each site's quirks for next time.
Your profile, answers, and history live on your machine, not on someone's server. The whole app got a matte light-and-dark redesign, with a sidebar that collapses when you want more room.
Correct an answer once and it's remembered. The more you use it, the less there is to fix.
Build a resume in the app or upload your own, tailor it per job with guardrails, and score it against the actual job description. 13 themes, 5 layouts, true print-size preview. A PDF you upload attaches byte-for-byte.
Drafted per application, editable before anything attaches, and you always see the exact file an employer gets. No cover letter upload on the form? It rides along appended to your resume PDF.
Close the window and AutoApply keeps drafting from the tray, so a batch is waiting when you come back. Optional start at login, and updates install silently.
The learning loop
AutoApply doesn't just fill forms. It remembers what worked, and the whole network shares what it learns. Here's the loop, in plain terms.
Fix a weird dropdown or a misread question during your review, and AutoApply saves how that field maps to your profile. Next time that question shows up anywhere, it's filled right, instantly, no AI needed.
The structure of the fix ("this label means this kind of question") is shared anonymously across all users. One person untangles a confusing Workday field and nobody else ever has to. Dead job links get flagged the same way, so the network stops wasting anyone's time or quota on postings that are already gone.
Only form structure is ever shared. Your answers, essays, documents, and anything personal never leave your machine. The network learns what questions look like, never what you said.
This is also why known fields fill instantly and cost nothing: once the network has seen a question, no AI call is needed at all.
Why we never auto-submit
ATS platforms run bot detection now, and recruiters say low-quality automated applications are a deal-breaker. Tools that mass-submit for you are on the wrong side of that fight, and their interview rates show it.
AutoApply drafts. You submit. Real browser, human speed, your judgment on every send. That's slower than a spray-and-pray bot on purpose, and it's why your applications actually land in front of a human.
About
I'm a junior at Carnegie Mellon studying computer science and robotics, and I built AutoApply for myself before it was ever a product. My own job search was the problem. Applying felt like a horrible chore, the same forms and the same questions every single night.
So I built a tool to do the boring part, and it honestly changed that whole part of my life. Something that used to feel like a chore became easy, and honestly a little fun. And once it worked for me, the next thought was obvious: a lot of people are suffering through the exact same grind, so why keep it to myself?
That's the whole point of this thing. Make people's lives a little easier. I mean, wouldn't you pay a friend ten bucks to apply to a few hundred jobs for you?
It's just me back here. I wrote the code and I read every email: [email protected]
Pricing
Every account starts with a free trial, and the paid passes just scale that allowance up. A pass is a one-time purchase: 30 days with a set AI usage allowance, shown in the app as one simple meter. Simple forms use less of it, long essay-heavy ones use more, which is why plans are sized relative to each other instead of promising exact counts. If a listing turns out to be dead, that attempt never counts against you. When a pass lapses, you pay nothing until you buy another.
Passes are bought inside the app once you're signed in. Allowances are still being calibrated against real usage while the product is new.
Purchases are covered by the Terms of Service.
Release notes
Build-by-build notes live here. Bigger announcements get their own page: News.
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 we had the app reviewed by a security auditor and then went further and audited the parts that review didn't reach. 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 no other program on your computer and no website you happen to have open in another browser can reach it. 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 โก 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 โ no more LinkedIn redirects. Onboarding got a refresh too.
Setup now works for everyone, not just tech folks. Describe whatever job you're after โ nursing, marketing, accounting, anything โ and AutoApply finds real employers in your field with job boards it can actually read, then starts pulling their openings. 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 โ 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.
Questions
No, and it can't. AutoApply never submits anything. It drafts applications into a queue, and each one goes out only when you've reviewed it and clicked submit yourself. Quality over volume is the whole point.
Your profile, answers, documents, and history are stored locally on your computer. The only thing that leaves your machine is the text needed for AI drafting, which goes through our servers to an AI model provider (Anthropic or Google). Your passwords are stored in your operating system's credential vault and are never sent to the AI. The full details are in the privacy policy.
Because job searches end. A pass is a one-time purchase that expires after 30 days and never renews itself. If you need more, you buy another. If you don't, you're done paying. No cancellation flows, no "forgot to cancel" charges.
It's strongest on the major platforms: Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters and similar, which cover most tech and corporate hiring. Unusual portals may need more of your input, and the agent tells you what it couldn't do instead of guessing.
Windows and macOS both work now, and macOS covers Apple Silicon and Intel. The Mac builds need Google Chrome installed. Linux is still planned; the app's core is already cross-platform.
Email [email protected]. Reports come straight to me, so include what you were doing and a screenshot if you can.
What to expect
AutoApply is about two months old and I work on it every day. It's genuinely useful right now, and it's not finished. Both of those are true, and you should know what you're signing up for.
Download

AutoApply is a solo project. I'm Paul Colombo, I'm still in college, and I built all of this myself. I work on it very hard every day and I run my own job search with it, so expect it to work well. But it's a new product, and some things still need tuning. Not everything will be perfect yet.
If you hit a bug or something feels off, email me at [email protected]. I read every email, and reports like yours are what get fixed first.
One more thing: the installer is code-signed, but AutoApply is still new to Microsoft, so Windows SmartScreen may pop up a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen. That's about reputation, not danger. If you see it:
This goes away on its own as more people install it.
