Résumé stays local.
Your résumé, profile, work history, and Q&A library live in a SQLite database on your own machine. Nothing uploaded, nothing synced.

One window.
Four views.
TimeBaQ is a native desktop app — Mac, Windows, Linux — that runs on your hardware. You’ll spend your time in four screens: the dashboard, the platforms, your Q&A library, and the analytics. That’s it.

i.
The dashboard. Today, at a glance.
Sent, queued, needs-review — with the row that’s writing right now front and center. The queue updates live; the daily cap resets at midnight; nothing else fights for your attention.
- 01 Live queue with platform, role, company, status. Sent · Writing · Queued
- 02 Daily progress bar against your cap, per platform
- 03 One-click pause / resume the whole queue

ii.
Platforms. Seven sites, one router.
Patchright is the default Chromium stack on all seven platforms — the same hardened driver already proven on LinkedIn. Nodriver and Camoufox stay on the bench as per-platform fallbacks if a site tightens detection. Sign-in once per site; set the daily cap that feels safe; the router picks the right driver under the hood.
- 01 Sign-in state per platform, in a sandboxed local session
- 02 Daily cap per site (1–500), adjustable any time
- 03 Soon: Greenhouse & Lever — auto-apply on the two ATS most tech hiring uses

iii.
Q&A library. Type it once.
Every screening question you answer is saved locally. When the same question shows up on another site, TimeBaQ fills your saved answer in one keystroke. New questions are handled by AI — and added to the library for next time.
- 01 Saved answers grouped by category — work history, sponsorship, salary, location
- 02 AI fallback for new questions, scoped to your résumé and history
- 03 Search across the whole library; flag answers that need review

Why a desktop app
Your data lives on your machine.
Cloud-hosted job-search tools have a bad track record — breaches, shutdowns, quiet pivots with your résumé on someone else’s servers. We pay the desktop-distribution tax because we’ve watched that movie.
Zero analytics tracking.
No event pings, no session recording, no third-party SDKs watching what you do. We don’t need to know your typing patterns to ship a feature.
AI calls proxied, logs off.
Cover-letter and Q&A generation route through Cloudflare AI Gateway with logging disabled. We don’t read your applications. We can’t.
V. Under the hood · four things competitors don’t do
Every auto-apply tool promises “automation.” Most break the moment they hit a CAPTCHA, a Cloudflare challenge, or an unfamiliar form layout. Here’s what TimeBaQ does that they don’t.
Three kinds, resolved in the background.
Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, and reCAPTCHA — all three are passed through a paid solver and resolved while the app keeps going. Competitors mostly fail here; the most-cited Trustpilot complaint about LazyApply is broken Indeed CAPTCHAs.

Patchright everywhere, with fallbacks.
Patchright is the default on all seven platforms — the same hardened Chromium stack already proven on LinkedIn. Nodriver is kept as a legacy fallback while we sunset it, and Camoufox is on hand as a per-platform stealth escalation if a site tightens detection. Extension-based competitors run a single Chrome stack on every site — one detection rule and you’re locked out everywhere.

Cover letters in your voice.
The Power tier learns your tone from a handful of writing samples and tunes new cover letters to match. Not a generic AI draft — one that reads like you wrote it. ATS systems detect “generic AI” output with roughly 80% accuracy. Voice tuning is the answer.

Your data, on your machine.
Tauri-native desktop. Local SQLite database. Nothing syncs to a cloud we control. The license key pings once a day — that’s the only outbound traffic. You can run TimeBaQ on a plane.

The four moments under the hood.
The form fill, the cover-letter draft, the Q&A library lookup, the CAPTCHA solve. One chapter per, with the live preview on the side.
