SideQuest

A gamified job application tracker.

Job searching means the same tedious loop over and over: find a posting, copy the company/role/link into a spreadsheet, apply, and remember to check back later. SideQuest removes the copy-paste step and makes the whole thing a little less demoralizing. WHAT IT DOES • One-click capture — a small floating button follows you on LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter job postings, or use the toolbar icon anywhere else. No retyping company names and links by hand. • A real dashboard — every saved application in one list, with status, a staleness flag for anything gone quiet, and a filter to view any combination of statuses at once. • XP, levels, and badges — capturing, applying, and updating status all earn XP. Even a rejection earns "resilience XP," so a "no" still counts as forward motion. • A reward wheel — hit a milestone and spin for a small real-life reward you set for yourself, like "get boba" or "take the afternoon off." It only ever shows a suggestion — nothing is ever ordered, booked, or executed automatically. • Backup and restore — export your full history to a JSON file, or import one back in. • Light and dark themes. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no server, no analytics, no data collection of any kind. Everything is stored locally via Chrome's own storage APIs.
