Autofill Job Applications in Seconds

Stop entering the same information into every job application.

Job Buddy helps you complete job application forms in seconds using a profile you create once. Fill in your personal details, work history, education, salary expectations, work authorization, and more. Then click Auto Fill to populate supported fields instantly.

Key Features

• One-click autofill
• Local-first storage
• No account required
• No cloud sync
• No analytics or tracking
• Free and open source

How It Works

Create your profile once.

When you're on a job application page, click Auto Fill. Job Buddy scans the page, matches each field to your profile, and fills every supported field.

Each filled field is color-coded so you know exactly what to review before submitting.

🟢 Green – Filled with high confidence.

🟡 Yellow – Filled successfully but worth a quick review.

🔴 Red – Job Buddy wasn't confident enough to fill this field. Click the field to choose the correct value.

⚪ Gray – Your profile doesn't contain this information yet. Click the field to see your options.

Made a mistake? Click Undo to instantly remove everything Job Buddy filled.

Learns From Your Corrections

If you manually choose a different value, Job Buddy remembers your choice for that website. Future autofills become more accurate over time.

Handles Missing Information

If your profile is missing information for a detected field, Job Buddy tells you exactly what's missing and opens the correct section of your profile.

After updating your profile, simply return to the application tab. Missing fields are filled automatically without running Auto Fill again, and your existing filled fields remain unchanged.

Resume Upload Support

Store your CV or resume in the Documents section and Job Buddy will attach it to supported upload fields automatically.

No drag and drop. No searching through folders. Just click Auto Fill.
