Job hunting broke me.
So I built a robot to do it.
AI Job Hunter scrapes 19 job boards, writes your cover letters, and drafts your applications while you dissociate — you just press send. Runs fully offline. Built by a guy who is, himself, still unemployed.
"maybe i'll hear back monday"
applications submitted: 0 · unfortunatelies received: 0 · est. callback: ∞
the 248th wasn't a job. it was your crush. we don't talk about it.
the descent
entry level: 5 yrs experience required · easy apply (47 fields) · create a Workday account (for the 9th time)
a human will never see this.

IT DOES
EVERYTHING ELSE.
it scrapes 19 boards while you do NOTHING. it writes the cover letter — the one you CRIED over. GONE. it scores your résumé so the regex blob can't hurt you anymore. semantic matching???? it KNOWS which jobs want you. it knows things you don't. the one thing it won't do? press submit. that terror stays yours.
(you were not supposed to find this)
"i haven't opened LinkedIn in 3 weeks and i've never been happier."
matches found: 0 · drafts written: 0 · applications you actually sent: 0
while you sleep, it hunts. while you cry, it writes. it does not cry. be like the autopilot.
runs 100% offline with Ollama. your 4am desperation is between you, your laptop, and God. not OpenAI. God.
what it actually does
(in between the breakdowns, real software happened)
19 boards, one scrape
LinkedIn, Indeed, StepStone, Xing, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, plus the whole German/DACH lineup and a stack of ATS platforms — 12 more places to be rejected, but faster.
AI cover letters & résumés
Writes it for you. 9 templates — 5 premium ones (Meridian, Atelier, Throughline, Portrait, Lebenslauf), two with a headshot — rendered by a pure-Rust Typst engine to DOCX, PDF & TXT. The AI is more passionate about this role than you could ever convincingly fake.
ATS scoring
Your résumé was reviewed by a piece of regex that has never felt joy. Now you score back.
Semantic matching
Hybrid vector search. Understands your résumé better than your mother, who still thinks you "do computers."
Autopilot
Pick a board and a schedule, walk away. At 9am it scrapes, ranks the matches, pings you, and pre-writes each tailored application. The submit button it leaves to you — some dignity must remain.
Local, cloud, or CLI agents
Run it free and offline with Ollama, drop in your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini key, or route it through a CLI agent you already pay for — Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, no key needed. Your coding-agent subscription can finally do something about the unemployment.
Company research, on tap
Before it writes the letter, it quietly looks the company up — provider-native web search folded right into the prompt — so you don't have to fake admiring their "mission." Opt-in. The robot does the admiring.
Import anything (even a photo)
Feed it your old résumé as a PDF, DOCX, or a cursed phone photo — Tesseract OCRs it, the app re-parses it, and politely says nothing about the typos.
11 languages (well, almost)
It writes your résumé in 11 — en, de, fr, es, it, tr, pt, ru, zh, ja, ko. The app's own interface speaks two for now, English and German; the other nine are "coming soon," same as my big break. Cosmopolitan failure, localized.
Privacy-first
OS keychain, local SQLite, zero telemetry. No one is watching you spiral. For once.
what the people are saying
(the people are not real)
"I applied to 0 jobs and got 0 rejections. 10/10."
— a guy"haven't felt my hands in weeks. great app."
— power user"let it write every application. landed 6 interviews. ghosted all of them. we are the same now."
— finally, revenge"my therapist asked where the rage went. it's in the regex now."
— anonymous"downloaded it, my MacBook said the app was 'damaged.' relatable."
— early adopter"I don't have a job but I have a workflow."
— verified ✓ (not verified)"it scraped Workday so I never had to make a Workday account again. I wept — the good kind."
— survivor"5 stars. would dissociate again."
— a review I'll never get, this isn't on the App Store★★★★★

yes, this app is real. yes, it actually scrapes LinkedIn, Indeed, StepStone, Xing, and 15 others. yes, it's built with Tauri + Rust + React 19 + a vector database + a pure-Rust Typst engine that renders every PDF — because I had a lot of free time, on account of the unemployment. no, it does not auto-apply — it finds the jobs and writes the whole application; hitting submit is the one job left to you. no, I still don't have a job. the autopilot is doing its best.
view the source — it's MIT, like my prospects: open and freely available. ▶ THE CREATURE — a hand-drawn doodle about the tiny recruiter you accidentally summon. it grows. (2:40)macOS will say the app is "damaged." it's not damaged. it's just unsigned — like a contract I was never offered. run xattr -cr and we move on.
