What's happening with AutoApply.
Announcements, new plans, and where the product is headed, straight from me. For the build-by-build details, the full release notes live on the What's new section of the front page.

Autopilot asks before it makes accounts for you.
Until now, if autopilot hit a job site that wanted an account before it would show the form, it made one for you and kept going. That was on by default. It isn't anymore. On this update everyone drops to "only while I watch", including people who had it running, so a scheduled draft that hits a sign-up wall now stops and asks you in Review. You can turn it back on in Settings under Autopilot. You'll get a plain page explaining what it does first, because you should know exactly what you're saying yes to before you say it.
The rest of this release is about the same thing the last one was: making the app work for people who aren't in tech. Listings from Workday, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee and Rippling now come with the actual job description, so the fit score and the resume check have real text to read. Your role profile knows where you want to work, so you stop scrolling past jobs three states away. The same posting showing up on three boards is one row now instead of three. The employers the app suggests when you set up follow your field instead of sliding back toward software companies. And a job that wants you logged in before it shows the form says so in Review, then fills the form the moment you're through.
Sources outside tech are still thinner than tech, and I'm still working on it. Tell me what your field turns up.

The Chrome extension is live, and AutoApply matches any career now (the job sources are still catching up).
Two big ones today. First: the AutoApply Chrome extension is on the Chrome Web Store. Find a job anywhere, click once, and it fills the application in the browser you already have open. You review every answer and you hit submit yourself, same rule as always. If you also run the desktop app, link them in Settings and they share your profile and saved answers. The extension update that makes that sync fully two-way goes up to the Chrome store next: fix an answer on either side and the other side knows.
Second: AutoApply's matching is no longer just for tech jobs. It always matched jobs against the role you describe in setup, but the catalog it searched was built from software job lists, so everyone else was searching an empty shelf. Now the app goes looking for job sources in your field the moment you describe your role, and the resume check speaks your language in a few fields too, whether that's BLS certifications or QuickBooks (tech, accounting, and healthcare admin have their own vocabulary lists so far; other fields get a general check). We built nine test personas to check it, from an ICU nurse to a MIG welder, and ran the matching and the resume check against each one. Being straight about that: those runs used made-up postings, not live boards, and the job sources we ship still lean tech. So this is a big step and not the finish line. If you tried AutoApply before and it had nothing for you, this is the release to try again on, and I want to hear what your field turns up.

AutoApply is open to everyone.
The invite gate is off. Anyone can now download AutoApply for Windows, Apple Silicon Macs, and Intel Macs. No code, no waitlist. This is the first public release.
Every new account starts with a free trial (no card) that's enough to watch it draft your first real applications. If it earns it, one-time passes start at $10 for 30 days, with no subscription and nothing that renews itself. The pricing section has the details.
It's version 0.8, brand new, and built by one person, so expect a rough edge here and there. The app tells you when it couldn't do something instead of guessing, and nothing ever gets submitted without you clicking submit yourself. To everyone who tested during the invite-only weeks: thank you. Your bug reports shaped basically every release on this page.

Next up: opening the download to everyone.
AutoApply has been in invite-only beta while a group of testers put it through real job searches. That gate is the next thing to open. Windows, Apple Silicon, and Intel Mac builds are all live for beta testers right now.
If you want to know the moment it opens, drop your email in the box on the download section. You'll get one line the day it's live, nothing else.

The app went through a full security review.
AutoApply drives a browser that's signed into your job boards, and it holds your resume and your personal details. That deserves real scrutiny, so the whole codebase went through a dedicated security review, trust boundaries first. To be straight about what that was: it was run in house with heavy AI assistance, not by an outside firm, and it is not a certification. The security page lays out what it covered, what came back clean, and what needed fixing.
The 0.7.0 release ships the results. The main fix: the link between the app window and the engine underneath it used to be open to anything else on your machine. It's authenticated now. Job pages inside the app can no longer ask for your camera, mic, or location. The apply window shows you which site you're actually on. Saved job board logins are encrypted on disk. And we closed two cases where a malicious job posting could have pointed the autofill somewhere it didn't belong.
None of this was being exploited, and there's nothing for you to do beyond updating. Intel Macs are also supported starting with this build.

AutoApply reads most of the job market now.
Until this week, AutoApply could only pull jobs from the boards startups use: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby. Version 0.6.10 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 into Sources and the whole board shows up, filtered to the roles that actually match your profile. And when you paste a careers site we still can't read, the app notes which system it runs on (just the company's domain, nothing about you) so the next adapters get built where people actually need them.

How the plans work: passes, not subscriptions.
Job searches end. So AutoApply doesn't have a subscription. It has one-time passes starting at $10: buy one, it covers 30 days of AI drafting, and it 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.
Every account starts with a free trial so you can watch it draft real applications before paying anything. The current tiers are on the pricing section.
