Install on your Mac

Download and open the DMG, then drag Job Applicator to the Applications shortcut.
Eject the disk image. Open Job Applicator from your Applications folder.
If macOS blocks the app because it cannot check it, review the message and the source of the download. If you choose to proceed with this preview, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway and confirm the app shown is Job Applicator. Do not disable Gatekeeper or system security.
Sign in, review the draft policies, confirm your profile, and complete model setup. See the getting-started guide.

If you already have Job Applicator, finish or pause your queue and quit the app before replacing it. Do not run it from inside the DMG. Replacing the app keeps its existing account data; back up important information before testing preview software.

Before you start applying

Real submissions: the first three app-attributed applications wait for approval. After that, autopilot can submit complete applications. Confirm your profile and saved answers carefully.
Manual updates: this build has no update feed or verification key. It will not update automatically. You will need to install a later build manually.
Model runtime: llama-server is not bundled in this build. On-device setup can download the pinned runtime, or you can configure another supported provider.
Hardware: Apple Silicon only. macOS 14 is the minimum target; this build was exercised on macOS 26.5.1, and older supported systems still need validation.
Connected features: an account is required. Cloud services and hosted inference receive the information needed for enabled features. Usage and crash diagnostics are account-linked; see the draft privacy notice.

What’s in this preview?

Based on the October 16 development build: improvements to form-readiness checks, preserving browser edits, avoiding repeated Submit presses while a request is in flight, radio-field recovery, and a fix for worker-pipe CPU use after a worker exits.

These changes were checked with synthetic forms and isolated bundle tests. They do not guarantee support for every employer’s form. Get help or report a problem.
