Browser extension

Factwright in your browser

Save the job you’re looking at to your Factwright job hunt, with its posting as you saw it: straight to Factwright on the same computer, with no account, or through end-to-end encrypted sync from any computer. Then fill in its application from what Factwright knows, for you to check and send. For Chrome and Firefox.

Free and open source · Saves to Factwright on the same computer, or through sync from anywhere

The extension’s popup, open under its button in the browser’s toolbar, on the page of a Senior Product Manager, Data job at Harbor & Pine. It shows the job’s title, company and pay to check, its link, that it’s remote in the US, and a posting of 633 words from the job’s own data, with a button to save it.

How it works

Save a job the moment you find it.

It reads the job data sites publish, the layouts of LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and other job sites, or the text you selected, so it saves postings you can only see signed in. On a site it doesn’t know, it reads the page’s main text, for you to check first. The job shows in Factwright on your computer as New, where your Claude analyzes it, ready for a tailored resume or a cover letter, and its posting stays even after the listing comes down.

  • The toolbar button

    On a job’s page, click it, check the title, company and posting, and save it. Pin it so it’s always there.

  • Alt+Shift+S

    Saves the job without opening anything. On a Mac, it’s Option+Shift+S.

  • The right-click menu

    Right-click the page and choose Save job to Factwright, to save it the same way.

Anything to check first, such as a company it can’t tell, waits for you in its popup: Chrome opens it, and Firefox marks its button with “!”.

Filling applications

Fill in the application, then check it.

It fills in a job’s application form from what you’ve told Factwright: Profile, your work history and resumes, and what you sent before. It asks Factwright on the same computer, or, on a computer without it, reads your job hunt through sync. It uploads the job’s own resume and cover letter, and a panel beside the page lists every field with its answer and where it came from. It never submits: you check the form, and send it yourself.

  • Fill this application

    Click it in the extension’s popup or the right-click menu, or press Alt+Shift+F. What’s left for you is outlined on the page.

  • Your Claude drafts the rest

    Questions nothing on file answers, such as why you want the job, your Claude drafts in Factwright, and the panel fills each one in once it’s done, or through sync at your next Fill. What only you can answer, it leaves for you.

  • Right in the form

    On the job application sites you allow, a small Fill button sits on the form, and a field you click into offers your answers on file. Nothing goes in until you pick one.

  • A page at a time

    An application that runs over several pages fills each one as you go on with its own button. What the site filled in from your resume stays, and the panel adds a part for each job or school only if you choose.

  • Forms inside a careers page

    A form a company’s careers page shows in a frame fills like any other. A box that suggests places gets one of its own, and Yes and No buttons are pressed for you.

  • Without Factwright here

    Set up through sync, it fills from your job hunt, opened in your browser’s memory alone. Your street, postal code and equal-opportunity answers never sync, so it leaves those for you.

On LinkedIn and Indeed, whose terms forbid filling their forms, it gives you answers to copy instead.

Private by design

It reads a page only when you ask it to.

Saved to Factwright on the same computer, a job goes straight to the app, through a small helper that comes with it, and never to a server. Filling an application there stays between your browser and the app too. Through sync, what it saves is locked with your job hunt’s own key before it leaves your browser, as everything you sync is, so our servers store it only in a form they can’t read, and it fills from your job hunt in your browser alone.

  • Nothing as you browse

    It reads the tab you’re on only when you click its button, its menu item or its shortcut, except on the job application sites you allow. Its popup sends nothing until you save.

  • Only where you allow it

    Its Fill button and field menus show only on the job application sites you turn on, never on LinkedIn or Indeed. A page can’t read a menu, and gets only the answer you pick.

  • Answers from your job hunt

    Filling a form, it asks Factwright on the same computer, with the form’s questions and never what’s in them, or reads your job hunt through sync, which it keeps only in memory, for a few minutes. It never fills a password, and never submits a form.

  • One site, no tracking

    Saving to Factwright on the same computer, it reaches no site at all. Through sync, it reaches only your sync server, Factwright’s or one you run yourself. It has no analytics or tracking.

  • Your keys, in your browser

    Through sync, it keeps your job hunt’s keys in your browser, where they can’t be copied out, to lock what it saves and read what it fills from. They open your whole job hunt, so it’s only as trustworthy as its code, which is public and reviewed by each store. Link it only in a browser you use yourself.

  • LinkedIn, your call

    It reads a LinkedIn job you’re looking at only when you click to save it. Turn that off to save LinkedIn jobs by their link and title alone.

Our privacy policy says what it reads and keeps, and how it’s built is public.

Setting it up

Set it up once, then save with a click.

It saves straight to Factwright on the same computer, with no account, or through sync from any computer: Factwright’s sync, for $5 a month or $50 a year, or a server of your own, for free. Once it’s set up, it saves from that browser even with Factwright closed.

  1. Get Factwright for your Mac or Windows PC, and open it.
  2. Add the Factwright extension to Chrome or Firefox. Its setup opens on its own.
  3. Choose where saved jobs go: Factwright on this computer, with no account and no sync, or through sync, for Factwright on another computer. Through sync, sign in, then approve linking it in Factwright, once both show the same emoji.
  4. To fill an application, click Fill this application on its page: in the popup or the right-click menu, or with Alt+Shift+F. It fills from Factwright on the same computer, or through sync on a computer without it. For a Fill button and field menus right in the form, turn on the job application sites, in setup or in the panel that opens.

For Factwright on this computer, the browser asks once to let the extension talk to apps on your computer, and it talks only to a small helper that comes with Factwright. On a Mac, saving to Factwright on this computer needs one more step, in Factwright: choose Browser extension in its sidebar, then Set up beside your browser, and Allow if macOS asks. Through sync, you can also link it with a link code from Factwright’s Sync settings, or with your recovery key.

For Chrome 130 or later, and Firefox 140 or later.
