How to use jlog, and how to run it yourself.

What jlog is

jlog is an open-source job application tracker with a Chrome extension. It records the applications you make on six job boards as you make them, reads any other posting in one click, fills the standard fields of Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby forms from your profile, and keeps every application in one list from saved to offer.

On Pro it also builds a CV for each posting out of sentences you already wrote, and drafts answers to open questions from your real experience, each with the sources it used.

Two ways to run it

Hosted. Sign in, add the Chrome extension, and you are done. Free covers capture, autofill and tracking; Pro adds tailored documents. Start with the quick start.

Self-hosted. jlog is MIT licensed and runs on Cloudflare's free tier: a Worker, a D1 database, an R2 bucket and a Pages site. See self-hosting.
