JobSentinel is an open-source, local-first desktop job-search assistant for finding real, relevant, fairly compensated work while keeping sensitive job-search data under user control.
This wiki is public product documentation. The repository docs remain the source of truth for implementation detail, verification, and release work.

User privacy and security are non-negotiable. JobSentinel must preserve local-first storage, credential safety, source boundaries, explicit user review, and privacy-preserving defaults.
Core workflows work locally. Job tracking, saved searches, application notes, salary floors, resume records, source status, and safe support reports work without a hosted account, telemetry, cloud sync, or external AI provider.
Windows releases can include MSI and setup EXE assets. If Windows signing
credentials are unavailable, installer filenames must include _unsigned and
each installer must have a matching .sha256 checksum. Windows SmartScreen
warnings are expected for unsigned or new, low-reputation installers.
Until the project has Apple Developer Program materials, public macOS packages
must stay clearly labeled as no-account packages, include a matching
.dmg.sha256 checksum, and avoid any Gatekeeper-ready claim. First open may
require approval in macOS Privacy & Security. Zero-friction public distribution
still needs Developer ID signing, notarization, stapling, and signed
public-artifact verification.
The 2.9.1 release line includes downloadable Agent Skills archives for job
search planning, posting-risk review, resume tailoring, form review,
application tracking, outreach, interview prep, and offer/pay review.
The release should attach both archive formats:
JobSentinel-2.9.1-agent-skills.tar.gzJobSentinel-2.9.1-agent-skills.zip
Each archive needs a matching .sha256 sidecar. Use ZIP on Windows when the
built-in extractor is preferred.
Settings backup covers settings, saved searches, and cover letter templates. It leaves saved connection details, passwords, tokens, cookies, browser sessions, local database records, and safe support reports out. Use a safe support report before broader local recovery because full local recovery can replace jobs, applications, resumes, notes, reminders, and history.
- Start with the Quick Start.
- Search existing issues.
- Open a new issue.
- Use the in-app safe support report before sharing problem details.
