The Chrome extension is launching soon. The docs below describe how it works at release. If you want early access, email support@yoinka.com.
What makes it different
- Vanilla, zero-dep — the extension has no build step and no external runtime dependencies. It’s fast (under 1 MB on disk) and doesn’t slow your browser.
- Per-ATS adapters — instead of one flaky “try to fill anything” heuristic, each supported ATS has a dedicated adapter that knows its form quirks.
- Your data stays on your device — your profile, resume and saved answers live only in the extension’s local storage. They are never uploaded to Yoinka.
- Shows you what it did — after every fill a panel lists what was filled, what still needs you, and what was skipped, and outlines each field on the page. Click a row to jump to it.
- Remembers your answers — answer a new question once and save it; the next form that asks it is filled for you.
How it works
- Install the extension (see Install).
- Build your profile — drop in your resume. It is parsed on your device; review what was found and fill any gaps on the extension’s Profile page.
- Open a job application on any supported site.
- Click the Yoinka hand (bottom-right of the page), the toolbar icon, or press Alt+Shift+Y.
- Review the results panel, answer anything marked “Needs you”, and submit yourself.
Privacy
- Your profile, resume, documents and saved answers are stored only on this device. Nothing about you is uploaded. Use Settings → Backup on the Profile page to export a copy or move to another computer.
- Resume parsing happens locally — the PDF/DOCX never leaves your browser.
- Optional, when you connect a Yoinka account: each application is added to your yoinka.com tracker (job title, company and link only; turn it off in Settings). “Improve job matching” is a separate opt-in that shares only skills, job titles, years of experience, city/state and sponsorship need.
- Diagnostics (on by default, off in Settings) share the structure of application forms on supported job sites — field labels, question text, page path and which fields matched — never your answers or profile.
