Local-first job tracking. A Chrome extension captures job postings from any site; a native macOS app stores them in SwiftData, runs AI extraction, and shows a full tracking UI — all on your own machine, no cloud required.
Jobhunt is a native macOS app for job hunters. Capture postings from any job board via the Chrome extension, let the AI extract structured fields and score your resume fit, and track your pipeline from application to offer — entirely offline.

- Anthropic
- OpenRouter
- Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Apple Foundation Models (macOS 26+, DMG only)
The DMG build ships a jobhunt-mcp helper that bridges stdio JSON-RPC to the running app's HTTP server, exposing your job database as tools for AI assistants.
