It's a Numbers Game
By Shapes.IO
Job hunting shouldn't be this difficult!
Finding the right jobs is already hard enough, but the admin work to applying for these jobs is incredibly painful. Having to type the same details over and over again, trying to keep track of when you applied for what in spreadsheets / notions / Airtables can be a soul destroying chore with endless copy and paste.
I got annoyed with the process so I decided to build this tool to streamline that process as much as possible, and I decided to make it entirely free for those in the same boat.
Why this exists, and why it's free
I built this because I needed it and I want it to help others
Every tool I found for this wanted a subscription to solve a problem I only had because I was out of work. That's a strange thing to ask someone for, and it's the reason this one is free — NOT a trial, not a free tier with the useful half removed. The whole thing, at no cost, to anyone who's job hunting.
There's no business model hiding behind that. I have zero plans to sell your data. Your applications and your profile are yours; you can export them or delete the account outright, and the privacy policy lists every third party that touches any of it, because there are few enough to list.
It exists because the admin of job hunting made me miserable and I could do something about it. That's the whole story.
Who is behind this?
My name is Chi (pronounced Chee). I'm a dad to two monsters and a London based product designer originally from Hong Kong. I've been designing and coding for over 20 years. I've been tinkering with AI a lot lately.
I fully appreciate how stressful job hunting can be, this app is my attempt to make it a tiny bit easier for others.

The features
Autofill your details
Every form wants the same twenty fields, in a slightly different order, with a slightly different idea of how a phone number should look. You have typed your own address so many times you've started to resent it.
Keep track of your applications
The spreadsheet lasted a fortnight. The tabs are open somewhere. Someone replies referencing a role you can't place, and you're reconstructing it from your sent folder.
Did I apply for this already?
Same company, familiar wording, no memory of whether it was three weeks ago or a different team entirely. Applying twice looks careless. Not applying because you weren't sure is worse.
Get the extension
The board keeps track of your applications, but the extension is what saves you the typing. Instead of copying the same name, email, phone number and work history into every form, it fills them in from your profile, adds the job to your board as you apply, and warns you if you've applied for it before. It's free, like everything else here.
Opens in a new tab. It works with a free account: sign up, then connect the extension from your account.
Ready to stop retyping your own name?
Create an account, import your resume, and let the next application form fill itself in. Free, no catch.
