Show HN: I got tired, so I built an offline desktop job tracker + resume builder

4 points

2 months ago

I built a desktop app to manage my job search because I got tired of juggling Numbers, Notion, and Pages to track applications and different versions of my resume.

Kin is a private, offline-first tool for managing the job search process in one place:

- track job applications and conversations - maintain a master resume and cover letter - generate tailored resumes and cover letters per application - store notes, contacts, and interview history - (optional) Chrome/Brave extension for saving job listings - calendar integration for interviews

Everything runs locally. No accounts, no cloud sync, and your data never leaves your machine.

It’s free and open-source: https://github.com/ruslanora/kin

Still early, but feedback is welcome, especially from people who’ve tried managing job searches with Notion, spreadsheets, or similar tools.
