The incentive problem
Their clock never stops. Yours should.
A monthly tool makes more money the longer your search drags on, so finding a job fast is not in its interest. Flarekeep is the opposite: buy it once, use it forever at your own pace, and pay your own AI provider directly for what you use, with nothing added on top. Six months of searching costs €120-240 on a subscription. Here it costs €11.99, once, and €4.99 if you buy before 31 December 2026.

Scrape
Jobs scraped into one inbox.
- Postings from the job boards, and from the companies you watch, in one inbox
- Match scoring, 1 to 5 on six dimensions, before you spend an hour applying
- Company leads, with a brief on each one
Tailor
A CV tailored to every role.
- Seven ATS-ready CV templates, rendered from one profile
- A cover letter in your voice, written from what the posting asks for
- One click to a Gmail draft, addressed and signed
Track
Tracked from applied to offer.
- One pipeline board, every application in its stage
- What needs action next, on one overview
Prep
You, prepped for the interview.
- Likely questions and practised answers, grounded in that exact role
- Flashcards and a quiz built from your gaps
- Company research for that interview
Setup
Three steps, then you are applying.
Download and open it
Grab the zip, extract it anywhere and open Flarekeep.exe. No installer, no account to create, nothing to sign up for.
Connect the AI you already have
Use the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already pay for, or paste a Gemini, OpenAI or xAI key. Either way it runs from your machine and you pay the provider, not us; on Gemini's free tier, nothing.
Apply at volume, every one tailored
Each CV and cover letter is built from your profile and tuned to the role, so sending more applications never means sending generic ones. More volume, higher quality.
Privacy by architecture, not by promise
Your search stays on your computer.
There is no server to leak, because there is no server. Your profile and applications live in a file on your machine. The only thing that ever goes out is a request to the AI provider you chose, using the key you control. Job hunting while still employed? Nothing you do here ever touches a company you would rather not tell.

The shift
An agent you own, not a service you rent.
The AI revolution changed what a single app can do for you. Work that used to need a team, or a subscription you paid every month, now runs as an agent on your own machine. The old deal, software you never own and pay for forever, stops making sense.
The AI revolution
A model now does work a monthly service used to gatekeep: tailoring a CV, scoring your fit, prepping interviews. That capability moved onto your computer, right next to your data.
Digital products, owned again
Software costs almost nothing to copy. Renting it out forever is a business model, not a law of nature. Flarekeep is a product you buy once and keep, not a service you rent.
Pay what you consume
You connect your own AI, a plan you already pay for or a key of your own, and pay the provider only for what you actually use, often nothing on the free tier. No middleman markup, no flat fee for the months you barely open it.
An agent, not SaaS
You are not renting seats on someone's servers. You own the agent. It works for you, locally, on your schedule, for as long as you want.
From the maker
Built mid-job-search, by someone in it.
I'm Marcos. I started building Flarekeep during my own job search, after one subscription too many asked for monthly rent and a copy of my data. Every feature is here because I needed it that same week: the tailored CVs, the match scoring, the interview prep.
I still run it every day for my own applications. No growth team, no engagement metrics, no meter running. Just a tool that treats your search as something to finish, not something to monetize.
