Pipeline — Job Application Tracker

About

Stop losing track of where you've applied.

Pipeline is a free Chrome extension that automatically captures every job you apply to on job portals — then organizes them in a clean kanban pipeline you can actually use.

Click Apply. Pipeline catches it. That's it.

WHY 10,000+ JOB SEEKERS SWITCHED FROM TEAL & HUNTR
══════════════════════════════════════

❌ Teal locks core features behind a paid plan.
❌ Huntr requires a login wall and stores your data on their servers.
❌ Both ask you to manually enter every application.

✓ Pipeline is 100% free.
✓ No login. No account. No subscription.
✓ Auto-captures jobs the moment you click Apply.
✓ Your data lives on your machine — never uploaded.

WHAT PIPELINE DOES
══════════════════════════════════════

📌 AUTO-CAPTURE ON APPLY
Click "Apply" or "Easy Apply" on any supported job board and Pipeline silently scrapes the role, company, location, salary, and full job description. A small toast confirms the capture. No clicks. No copy-paste.

📌 AUTO-CAPTURE ON SAVE
Click the bookmark / save / star icon on job portals and Pipeline adds the job to your Saved column for later review.

📌 KANBAN PIPELINE
Drag your applications across Saved → Applied → Interview → Offer → Rejected. See your whole job hunt at a glance. Filter by role, company, or notes.

📌 AI RESUME TAILORING (OPTIONAL)
Add your default resume bullets in Settings. Click "Tailor my resume" on any role and Pipeline rewrites each bullet to speak to that specific job description — using the JD's vocabulary, emphasizing relevant outcomes, never inventing experience. Powered by Anthropic Claude (your own API key, your own credits — zero markup).

📌 PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
All data stays in chrome.storage.local on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party servers. The Anthropic API key, if you add one, only fires when YOU click Tailor.

📌 STATS THAT MATTER
Your dashboard shows total applications, applications this week, and a real response rate (interviews ÷ applications). Finally know whether your strategy is working.

📌 EXPORT & IMPORT
One-click JSON export from Settings. Same file imports back. Move between machines or back up before a clean install. Merge mode means re-imports never overwrite.

📌 KEYBOARD SHORTCUT
Press ⌘⇧S (Mac) or Ctrl⇧S (Windows / Linux) on any job page to save it manually — works even on boards Pipeline doesn't natively support.

SUPPORTED JOB BOARDS
══════════════════════════════════════

✓ LinkedIn (Easy Apply + external)
✓ Indeed (.com, .co.in, regional sites)
✓ Glassdoor (.com, .co.in, .co.uk, .ca, .com.au, .de, .fr, .ie, .sg)
✓ Naukri.com

Most company career pages eventually redirect to one of these applicant tracking systems, so real-world coverage is much wider than the literal list.

══════════════════════════════════════
WHO PIPELINE IS FOR
══════════════════════════════════════

→ Active job seekers applying to 20+ roles a week who can't keep up
→ Career switchers tracking applications across multiple industries
→ Recent grads casting a wide net during placement season
→ Developers, designers, and product folks job hunting in tech
→ Anyone tired of manually logging applications into a spreadsheet
→ Privacy-conscious users who don't want their job hunt on someone else's servers

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
══════════════════════════════════════

Q: Is this actually free, or freemium with paywalls?
A: Actually free. No paid tier. No upsells. No "premium features."

Q: Does it require an account?
A: No. Open and start tracking.

Q: Where is my data stored?
A: Locally in your browser only. Uninstall the extension and the data goes with it — so export periodically if you want a backup.

Q: Does the AI tailoring cost money?
A: Only if you choose to use it, and only at Anthropic's standard API rates (typically a few cents per tailoring). You bring your own API key. Pipeline takes zero margin.

Q: Will it work on company career sites that aren't listed?
A: Probably — most company careers pages run on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or Workable behind the scenes, all of which are supported. For the rest, use ⌘⇧S to capture manually.

Q: I already use Teal / Huntr — can I migrate?
A: Export from there as CSV, then manually add the key ones. Native migration is on the roadmap.
