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.

  7. Pin Folio from the Chrome extensions menu.

How to Use

  1. Open Folio settings from the extension popup.
  2. Fill in your profile details.
  3. Add resumes/CVs in My files.
  4. Visit a job application page.
  5. Open the Folio popup.
  6. Click Auto-fill when Folio detects fields.
  7. Review everything before submitting.

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.
