A local-only desktop app (Tauri 2 + SvelteKit + SQLite) that turns a job posting into a tailored CV and a one-page motivation letter, and tracks your applications. No account, no server.
- New application: paste a link (LinkedIn, XING, StepStone, …; JSON-LD JobPosting data is extracted), the job text, and/or screenshots (pick files or Ctrl+V).
- Extract: your AI CLI reads everything, including the screenshots, and writes
job.json. - Company check: if the company is on your list, the job is flagged and the flow stops ("Generate anyway" is available). Otherwise it is marked appliable.
- Generate: first the English CV and motivation letter (
cv/CV_en.typ,cv/Letter_en.typ), shown as soon as they are rendered. Then, in the background, the German versions (cv/CV_de.typ,cv/Letter_de.typ) mirroring them. All followSKILLS.md. - Edit by hand: "✎ Edit" opens any document in an editor with a live preview, where the layout code is hidden and the text uses Markdown-like Typst markup. Saving regenerates PDF/DOCX/ODT, and the AI updates the other language from your edits.
- Render: the bundled
typstproduces the PDF and in-app previews, and the bundledpandocproduces DOCX and ODT. If the letter runs over one A4 page, the AI is asked to shorten it automatically. - Refine and track: ask the AI for changes in the job's chat. Set the status (draft → ready → applied → interview → offer / rejected / no response) and archive the job. The tracker offers a filterable, sortable table, a drag-and-drop board and CSV export.

The app uses the CLI already installed on your system (claude, codex or opencode) with your own login or API key. From the Flatpak it runs them via flatpak-spawn --host. Choose the model in Settings → General: Claude Code aliases/IDs, codex debug models, or opencode models opencode-go. You can edit the commands in Settings → Agent commands.

Typst and pandoc are bundled, so LibreOffice is not needed.
See installation instructions and local release pipeline setup. Every push to master builds on the registered local runner and publishes the signed Flatpak update repository and GitHub release.
