A local-first desktop app that helps you find jobs, generate tailored resumes and cover letters, and manage applications with AI agents. Bring your own AI model or run fully offline with Ollama.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Saeed, the maker of AI Job Hunter.
I built this because job hunting in 2026 is a numbers game that punishes you for caring. Every application wants a tailored résumé, a custom cover letter, and thoughtful answers — times dozens of postings. And most "AI job tools" want your résumé, your data, and a monthly subscription in return.
So I made the opposite: a local-first desktop app that does the grind _on your machine_.
What it does:
- 🔎 Finds & matches — scrapes 16 job boards and scores every posting against your résumé (hybrid semantic + keyword matching, ATS scoring, skill-gap analysis). The aggregator even reaches walled boards like Indeed, Glassdoor and Xing.
- ✍️ Generates — tailored résumés, cover letters, and grounded answers to application questions. 9 ATS-safe templates, export to DOCX / PDF / TXT, in 11 languages, with a live view of the model thinking.
- 🤖 Autopilot — define a search once; it finds and scores new jobs on a schedule and tracks what's New vs Applied.
- 🧩 Browser extension — save any job in one click (Chrome & Firefox).
The part I care about most: your data never leaves your device. Jobs, résumés, and generations all live in a local SQLite database. API keys sit in your OS keychain. Zero telemetry. And you bring your own AI — plug in OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini, point it at a local CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI), or run it 100% offline with Ollama. No key, no cloud required.
It's free to download and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
I'd genuinely love your feedback — especially on matching quality and which job boards you'd want supported next. I'll be around all day to answer anything 🙏

@saeed_kolivand Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Love the local-first + offline option — that’s a big trust win for job seekers. Is the AI mainly used for tailoring applications per job, or also for tracking and follow-ups automatically?
@nicole_hynek Thank you so much!
AI is mainly used to tailor applications for each job, generate answers to application questions, and create referral requests. The job tracking itself is still manual, at least for now.
The idea for the app came from my own job search. I got tired of doing the same repetitive tasks for every application, so I built something to automate the parts that took the most time.
