#What is JobSync?

JobSync is a free, open-source self-hosted web application designed to help job seekers efficiently manage their job search process. Developed by Gsync, its primary goal is to provide a privacy-focused assistant for tracking applications, monitoring progress, and leveraging AI for resume optimization and job matching, targeting professionals and recent graduates navigating job markets. Built with Next.js, React, shadcn/ui, TypeScript, and Docker, JobSync features an interactive dashboard for application status, AI-driven resume reviews (using Ollama's llama3.1 or optional OpenAI), and job match scoring. It runs locally for full data control, avoiding cloud dependencies. For shadcn/ui users, JobSync is a perfect fit, leveraging shadcn/ui's accessible foundation to deliver a clean, modern interface for React applications.
