Help test JobCtrl on Apple silicon

[ebarti]

JobCtrl is public, but it still needs honest first-use evidence from people who did not build it.

Try it without installing

Open the synthetic live demo. It cannot contact employers, model providers, Gmail, job boards, or a local JobCtrl installation. Please do not enter personal data or secrets.

Test the real local application

The current public build supports Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 15 or newer.

curl -fsSL https://jobctrl.dev/install.sh | sh
# or
brew install ebarti/tap/jobctrl

jobctrl start
jobctrl setup
jobctrl doctor

A useful first test is simply reaching a healthy local workspace, understanding what stays on your computer, and inspecting the synthetic or locally created workflow without sending an application.

Feedback that would help most

• How long did it take to reach the first useful screen?
• Which setup instruction or trust boundary was unclear?
• Could you understand why a job received its score?
• Could you trace a generated resume claim back to profile evidence?
• Which capability would you refuse to enable, and why?
• Where did the product feel too complex for the value it delivered?

For a reproducible defect, please open an issue with your macOS version, installation path, the step reached, and a sanitized error. Do not publish resumes, credentials, private job data, databases, generated PDFs, browser profiles, or raw logs.

Before installing or upgrading, read the current release notes.
