ApplyArc AI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn a job post you explicitly choose into a clear, source-backed application plan without uploading your resume or documents to another service. ApplyArc AI reads pasted text, PDFs, and images with on-device recognition, then organizes editable requirements and preserves the exact source excerpt behind each one. Confirm the draft before it becomes part of your pipeline. Map every requirement to evidence from your resume, portfolio, projects, achievements, or notes. See what is already supported, identify genuine gaps, and create concrete next actions instead of repeatedly rereading the same job post. Track saved, preparing, applied, interviewing, offer, and closed stages on iPhone and iPad. Export work you own as PDF, CSV, calendar ICS, JSON, or a portable ZIP application pack. Share Extension import, App Shortcuts, and a next-action widget keep the workflow close at hand. Up to three active opportunities and complete single-opportunity exports are free. ApplyArc Pro Lifetime is one non-consumable purchase that unlocks unlimited active opportunities, complete-pipeline export, local backup and restore, and widgets. There is no subscription. Recognition, optional Apple on-device Foundation Models analysis, deterministic fallback rules, records, and exports stay on your device until you explicitly share a file. There is no account, developer backend, advertising, analytics, tracking, scraping, recruiter monitoring, automatic application submission, ATS score, or job guarantee.
