ApplyOnce – Local-first job application autofill that reads scanned resumes

ApplyOnce, a local-first job application autofill extension formerly codenamed FastApply, released version 0.2 with layout-aware resume parsing, on-device OCR for scanned resumes, resume re-import, and an optional on-device question classifier. The extension, available on the Chrome Web Store and buildable for Firefox, never submits applications automatically, and its launch gates require detection recall above 0.95 and mapping precision above 0.98.

Formerly codename FastApply; renamed after ASO research fastapply.co is an existing competitor — see docs/ASO-REPORT.md . Internal storage keys and the IndexedDB name keep the old identifier for data compatibility. One-click job application autofill, deterministic-first, local-only. See PLAN.md for the full design and CLAUDE.md for agent/contributor rules.

Differences from Chrome are all runtime feature-detected in src/shared/platform.ts : no offscreen document resume parsing runs in the background event page , sidebar action instead of side panel , and Firefox's install-time data-collection consent gates telemetry.

Launch gates: detection recall 0.95, mapping precision 0.98, zero forbidden fills. - OCR for scanned PDFs is stubbed paste-text fallback instead until Tesseract traineddata can be vendored into the package — no runtime downloads are permitted. - Fixture corpus currently holds 4 synthetic pages modeled on real ATS DOM.

Filler behavior on real ATS widgets still needs the 10-application live gate PLAN.md Phase 4 before launch.
