ApplyOnce reads your resume once, then fills Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and thousands of career sites for you. It never guesses, never submits, and your data never leaves your browser. New in 0.2: scanned and photographed resumes, read on your device. Free, open source. You review, you submit. One-click undo.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm the maker of ApplyOnce.
I built it because every job application asks for the same thirty things and the "auto-apply" tools that exist fix that by taking control away from you. ApplyOnce does the opposite. It reads your resume once, on your device, and fills each form while you watch. Green means verified, amber means check me, and it never presses submit. One click undoes any form.
Version 0.2, which is what I'm launching today, came out of a bad afternoon. I fed eight random resumes from a public dataset into the parser and all eight came back with zero words. They were scans, pictures of resumes, and no text parser can read a picture. So I rebuilt parsing around the layout of a resume (headings, columns, the date cell on the right of every job), which fixed LaTeX, Word, Canva and LinkedIn-export resumes that used to lose whole sections, and added text recognition that runs inside the extension for scans and photos. Nothing is uploaded, and every field that comes out of a scan is marked "check this" before you save it.
What else is in 0.2:
- Fewer wrong fills. I measured the question matcher against 2,078 real application questions and rewrote it: wrong autofills dropped from 3.7% to 0.4%.
- A small on-device model for questions no rule can name. It only suggests, always in amber, never fills silently, and your questions never leave your computer. It's on by default and one switch turns it off.
- Import a newer resume in one click; your saved answers and settings stay.
- Still no account, no server, no cloud. Your profile lives in your browser. Optional passphrase encryption. Open source under MIT.
Numbers, all reproducible from the evals in the repo: precision 1.000 on 1,241 fields across 73 generated resumes in 11 layouts, 0.986 on scanned resumes.
Honest limits: Workday-style multi-page portals aren't supported yet, and unrecognised questions are left for you on purpose.
I'd love two things from you: try it on a real application and tell me which field it got wrong, and if your resume doesn't parse right, send it my way (anonymised) and it becomes a test case. I'll be here all day answering questions.
