Chrome Extension

LAZY WORKER

For Swiss job seekers: Auto-capture applications from jobs.ch, LinkedIn & Indeed, then fill RAV forms with one click. All data stays local on your computer.

? The Problem

  • > Swiss unemployment requires documenting every job application
  • > RAV forms (Nachweis der persoenlichen Arbeitsbemuehungen) are tedious
  • > Manually tracking 10-15 applications per month is error-prone
  • > Copy-pasting job details wastes precious job search time
  • > Missing documentation can delay unemployment benefits

+ The Solution

  • > Auto-captures application details when you click "Apply"
  • > Stores company, job title, date, and application method automatically
  • > One-click form filling on arbeit.swiss RAV portal
  • > All data stays in Chrome's local storage - no cloud, no servers
  • > CSV export for personal records and backup
