A small tracker for a messy job search.

Save quickly on the page you're browsing, review your pipeline in the dashboard, and update statuses when recruiters reply.

One dashboard for the whole search

Every application you save rolls up into three numbers that tell you whether the search is working, alongside a breakdown by status, platform, and upcoming interview. Everything syncs to a Google Sheet in your Drive.

Applications Total volume and weekly pace
Response rate How often employers reply
Success rate Offers and positive outcomes

Manual fill application

Open the panel over any job page and type the details straight into the New App form: company, role, platform, country, work type, and the posting link.

AI Quick Capture

Prefer not to type? Draw a box around the posting and let your AI provider fill the same form. You review every field before anything is saved.

How AI capture works

Draw a box around a job posting, review what was extracted, then save to your Sheet. You stay in control at every step.

  1. Select job details

    Draw a region around the posting on the page you're viewing.

    Background page shown for context only.

  2. Extract fields with AI

    Your configured provider reads the selected text and returns structured fields.

    Processing happens over HTTPS to the provider you choose.

  3. Review before saving

    Edit role, company, location, and work type with confidence hints before you commit.

    Nothing is saved until you confirm.

  4. Saved to your Sheet

    Confirmed applications are written to your Google Sheet like any manual entry.

    Same storage model as the rest of Candidex.

Your data stays yours.

Candidex has no backend server and no hosted database. Applications live in a Google Sheet you own.

  • No analytics, telemetry, cookies, or tracking pixels.
  • AI capture sends only the text you select to your configured provider.
  • API keys stay in browser storage on your device. Use session-only mode on shared computers.
  • OAuth uses the browser identity flow. No client secret in the source code.
