Deep into my last job search — applications across seven different sites — I’d retyped the same phone number countless times and built a list of every screening question that wasted my evenings. So I wrote the tool I wished existed.
The job hunt is, mostly, retyping. You write the same line about authorization to work, the same line about willingness to relocate, the same line about expected salary, and you write them in twelve different form layouts a day. None of it decides whether you get the interview — but you have to do it before you can do the part that does.
TimeBaQ started as a private CLI script. It got a window. It got a queue. It got CAPTCHA-solving, because Indeed kept locking me out. It got a hardened Chromium driver (Patchright), because LinkedIn flags ordinary Chrome. It got a Q&A library, because I was tired of typing my own work history.
Somewhere in the middle of that search, I realized: this tool isn’t a hack I’m getting away with — it’s a real product. I cleaned up the code, designed a license server, signed up for Stripe, and started writing this site. Founder pricing is reserved for the first 100 per tier.
I’m one person. The queue is small on purpose — if a feature ships, it works; if it doesn’t work yet, it’s on the roadmap below in plain English. No marketing soup. No vague “we’re working on it.” Pricing stays monthly because monthly is honest. Data stays local because it should.
