Offlyn Apply - Job Application Assistant

Offlyn Apply is a privacy-first job application assistant that works entirely on your device. No accounts, no API keys, no data leaving your machine — ever. WHAT IT DOES • Smart Auto-Fill — detects all form fields on job application pages and fills them instantly from your profile. Works on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and plain HTML forms. • AI Cover Letters — generate tailored cover letters using a local Ollama model running on your machine. Your resume never touches OpenAI, Anthropic, or any external server. • Application Tracker — Kanban-style dashboard to track every application from submitted to offer, stored entirely in your browser. • Compatibility Score — AI-powered job match analysis showing how well your profile aligns with each role before you apply. • Learns From You — reinforcement learning from your manual corrections makes autofill smarter over time for your specific profile. • Context Menus — right-click any text field to use Professional Fix, Expand, or Shorten on your writing with local AI.
