Drafted overnight. Sent by you. Apply Desk is a self-hosted AI job-search assistant. Every morning it finds jobs, keeps the ones that fit, and drafts a tailored CV, cover letter and "Why this role?" answer for each. It reads your Gmail replies to keep every application current. It never submits anything: you apply yourself.

- Sources: company career boards (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever), LinkedIn, Instahyre, freehire. Aggregators and staffing reposters are dropped.
- Judgement by Claude: triage (Haiku), scoring and Gmail (Sonnet), drafting (Opus) by default; each model is a setting.
- Everything else is plain Python: scraping, dedup, state, PDF verification and the tracker CSV.
- Runs on your machine: your data stays on your disk; secrets live outside the repo.
