Frequently asked questions

It is a free, open-source program that runs on your own computer. It searches LinkedIn with your own account, applies with Easy Apply, and for jobs that send you to a company's own website it opens the application, signs in with Google if the site asks, and fills in the form from your details.

Yes. It is free and open source under the MIT License, with no account, subscription or paid tier. You can read, change and share the code.

No. It is a program that runs on your computer and controls a Chrome window, with a control panel that opens in your browser. Nothing is installed into Chrome, and there is no cloud service or account.

LinkedIn has rules about automated activity, and it may limit or restrict accounts that break them. You use the tool at your own risk. Keep the daily cap low, watch your first runs and read the disclaimer before you start.

Yes, it is possible. LinkedIn's rules prohibit third-party software that automates activity on its site, and it says members who break them risk having their accounts restricted or shut down. No tool, this one included, can make that risk zero. Keeping volume modest and reviewing your first runs lowers it but does not remove it.

You choose. The daily cap is 40 by default and you can change it in Run settings, or set it to -1 for no cap. LinkedIn has not published an official Easy Apply limit, but many people report being blocked after roughly 50 Easy Apply submissions in 24 hours, so a cap below that is sensible.

The tool notices LinkedIn's limit message. If company-website applying is on, it carries on with jobs that apply on company sites and skips Easy Apply jobs for the rest of the run. If it is off, it stops and tells you to resume tomorrow.

Yes, on the employer's own website. The limit is reported to apply to Easy Apply submissions, so jobs that send you to a company site are not affected. That is why Magic Apply - Jobs carries on with company-site jobs when it sees the limit.

It handles ordinary application forms, including multi-page flows and forms inside iframes. Some sites will always need you: those that force an email-and-password account with no Google option, CAPTCHAs, and heavily custom questions. Anything it cannot finish is saved to a Failed jobs list with the reason and the company's link. So far it has been tested against realistic local mock sites, not every employer, so treat it as a beta and watch the first few runs.

We have not verified it against specific applicant tracking systems, so we do not claim support for any of them. Forms that are a single public page are the easiest case. Some systems, such as Workday, commonly ask you to create an account for each employer; if a site has no Google sign-in option, the tool leaves the job for you and saves it, with the link, to the Failed jobs list.

Only if you allow it. Pause before submitting is on by default, so the tool stops before each submission for you to review. Turn it off in Run settings for hands-free running. It never submits with a required question empty and never invents an answer.

No. It never types a Google password and never gets past a CAPTCHA or 2-step verification. When Google or a site asks for one, the tool waits while you finish that screen in the browser window, then carries on.

Yes, optionally. Add an API key for OpenAI, Gemini or DeepSeek in the Account tab and turn on AI answers. It is off by default. When it is on, the question, the job description and the about-me text you wrote are sent to the provider you chose.

No. It runs on your own computer, keeps your details in a private folder only while it is open, and erases them when you close it. If you turn on the optional AI answers, the question, the job description and the about-me text you wrote are sent to the AI provider you choose. Otherwise nothing leaves your computer except the applications themselves.

Google Chrome. The Windows .exe needs nothing else. On Windows the start.bat launcher also installs Python and Chrome if they are missing. On macOS and Linux, install Python 3.10 or newer and Chrome first, then double-click the launcher; those two launchers are included but less tested than the Windows ones.

There are launchers for both (start.command and start.sh) and the code is cross-platform, but the maintainers test on Windows, so the macOS and Linux launchers are less tested. The portable .exe is Windows only.

The .exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway. You can compare the file's SHA-256 with the one on the release page, or build the exe yourself from the source with build_exe.bat. Some antivirus programs flag anything that drives a browser.

Click Download backup before you close the tool, and Restore from backup next time. Nothing is kept otherwise: the tool erases your details when it closes. Restoring your backup also lets it count the applications you already made today, so the daily cap stays accurate.

No. You set everything up in a control panel that opens in your browser and run the tool with a button. There are no code files to edit.

Click Download report in the control panel before you close it. It saves a text file with your recent log and why jobs failed, with your name, email, phone, passwords and links masked. Read it, then attach it to an issue on GitHub.
