Folio v1.0.0

Folio v1.0.0

Initial public release of Folio, a privacy-first browser extension that helps autofill job applications using your saved profile, documents, and reusable answers.

Folio is still a work-in-progress personal project. It is not a polished commercial product yet, and it has not been security audited. Expect rough edges while it evolves.

Highlights

• One-click autofill for matched job application fields
• Local profile manager for personal info, education, experience, skills, and answers
• Resume/CV document manager with upload support
• Autofill activity dashboard with forms filled, fields filled, and estimated time saved
• Light, dark, and auto theme modes
• Local-first storage with no backend, no account, and no telemetry
• Manual control: Folio never submits applications automatically

Install in Chrome

1. Download Folio-v1.0.0.zip from this release.

2. Unzip the file somewhere on your computer.

3. Open Chrome and go to:

   chrome://extensions

4. Enable Developer mode in the top-right corner.

5. Click Load unpacked.

6. Select the unzipped Folio-v1.0.0 folder.

How to Use

1. Open Folio settings from the extension popup.
2. Fill in your profile details.

Privacy

Folio stores your data locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local.

It does not send your profile to a server, does not include telemetry, and does not click submit buttons.

Known Notes

• This is an early personal project release.
• Some websites use complex custom inputs that may need more support.
• The extension currently uses broad host permissions so it can detect forms across many sites.
• More platform-specific matching and language support are planned.
