A free, open-source job application autofill tool — the parts of Simplify that matter, without the paywall.

what's built

This is good architecture, and what I believe to be one of the hardest technical parts

• Chrome extension: one-click autofill for Workday applications, merging your info store and resume profile
• based on a detector/strategy pattern: detectors recognize DOM fields and tag each with a semantic role and widget type;
• strategies are keyed by widget type and know how to fill it. adding a new ATS or widget type is a self-contained unit

This is all POC, and all needs improvement probably

• resume parser: upload a PDF and it extracts contact info, experience, and education into a structured profile
• • job scraper: scrapes Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby job boards on click or a configurable interval
• user info store: a flat record of everything a job form might ask
• REST API: FastAPI backend tying it all together; supports jobs, resumes, profiles, and user info
• dashboard: Next.js frontend to browse jobs, manage resumes, and edit your info
