Manage your job search with complete privacy and control.
JobVault Libre is a free, open-source desktop app for tracking job applications. Every posting, deadline, note, and follow-up stays in a file on your own computer — no cloud, no accounts, no one watching you apply.
No sign-up · No telemetry · Your data never leaves your machineYour job search isn't anyone else's data to keep.
Everything you need to run a job search, nothing you don't.
Private by default
All your data lives in a local file on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or shared with a server.
Native desktop app
A fast, offline PyQt6 application that runs entirely on your machine. No browser tab.
Instant search
Find any application in a fraction of a second. There's no network request standing between you and your data.
Open source, always
The full source is on GitHub under GPL-3.0. Read it, audit it, fork it, or send a pull request.
Free, no subscriptions
No paywalls, no premium tier, no "sign up to keep going." It's yours to keep and use for as long as you like.
Firefox & Chrome extension
Automatically detect job details from LinkedIn and Indeed and add applications to JobVault Libre with a single click.
Three steps, and you're tracking privately.
Download & install
Grab the Linux build from the releases page and run it. No account creation, no setup wizard collecting your email.
Log your applications
Add postings as you apply: company, role, dates, job description, and notes. Whatever you need to remember later.
Stay on top of it
Search instantly, update statuses as you hear back, and keep your whole search organised in one private place.
Still early, still growing.
JobVault Libre is actively developed. Windows and macOS builds are planned, alongside improvments on the optional browser extension for capturing job postings straight from the source (still local-only, still no accounts). Follow progress, open an issue, or contribute on GitHub.
Take back control of your job search.
Free forever. Nothing to install but the app itself.
