Hey everyone 👋 I built Folio because I was sick of the same thing over and over: upload my resume, then manually retype my name, experience, and education into a dozen separate fields for every single application. It's a free, open-source Chrome extension. Set up your profile once, click a button, and it auto-fills the application for you. It's still early and I'm actively improving it, so bug reports and feature requests are genuinely welcome, GitHub link is in the listing. Would love to hear what you think, and what other parts of job hunting feel like they need fixing.

The one-profile setup is genuinely clever. Having watched people rage-quit an application halfway through for the third time this month, the "set it once" approach feels like the obvious solution nobody bothered to build.

The autofill idea is solid and honestly overdue. One thing that would make it way more useful for me is support for multi-page applications, where the form splits personal info, experience, and questions across several steps and loses context between them.

The one-profile, fill-anywhere approach is genuinely clever, especially how it keeps things local and open source instead of shipping your info off to some random server. Job hunting is painful enough, nice to see a tool built by people who clearly get that.

Tried it on a couple of applications yesterday and it nailed the tedious stuff like name, address, and work history without making me proofread a wall of text afterwards. Nice to see an open source option that just does the boring part well.
