Job applications that
actually fit the role

Smart Apply is a Chrome extension that does the research and drafting for you — then keeps you in the loop before anything goes out. Not a bot. Not a blank page. Something better.

The spray-and-pray approach

AI blasts out hundreds of generic applications in your name. Recruiters spot it instantly. Your reputation takes the hit.

The Smart Apply approach

AI does the research and drafting. You review, refine, and decide what goes out. Every application is deliberate and genuinely tailored.

The fully manual approach

Hours rewriting the same CV for each role. Inconsistent quality, hard to maintain, and exhausting at scale.

Everything you need to apply smarter

Scrape any job posting

One click captures the role title, company, description, and salary from any job site — LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Amazon, and more.

🎯

Fit analysis

Get an honest 0–100 fit score with green flags, gaps, and suggested angles to lean into before you write a single word.

📄

Tailored CV + cover letter

Claude Sonnet writes a targeted CV and cover letter in seconds, grouped by company, respecting your progression, and keeping it to two pages.

💬

Refine in chat

Not happy with a section? Chat with Claude to rewrite bullets, adjust tone, or remove anything — changes flow back into your documents live.

📋

Fill application forms

Detected form fields are mapped from your profile — name, email, LinkedIn, cover letter — injected directly into the page.

🔒

100% private

Your profile, documents, and API key live in IndexedDB on your machine. Nothing touches our servers. Nothing is synced anywhere.

How it works

1

Add your Anthropic key

Paste your key in Settings. That's the only setup required.

2

Scrape the job

Open any job listing and click Scrape — Smart Apply reads the page for you.

3

Generate documents

Review your fit score, then generate a tailored CV, cover letter, or both.

4

Apply

Export to PDF, copy to clipboard, or let Smart Apply fill the form fields directly.

Your key, your data, your control

Smart Apply never sees your data. Your Anthropic API key, your profile, your documents — everything is stored locally in your browser. The only external calls go directly from your machine to Anthropic's API.
