JobTwister

An experimental macOS application built with SwiftUI and SwiftData for managing job applications.

This was built mostly with GitHub Copilot. I’m not responsible for your data, nor do I make any promises that this will work.

Feel free to clone the repo and build it locally. I’m not providing a pre-built app as I don’t know how well the app is written.

About

JobTwister is an experimental project exploring modern Apple technologies:

• SwiftUI for the user interface
• SwiftData for persistent storage
• Charts for data visualization

The app helps users track their job search by managing:

• Job applications with details like company, role, salary range, and URLs
• Application status tracking (pending, interview scheduled, denied)
• Work type preferences (remote, hybrid, in-office)
• Interview scheduling and tracking with confirmation dialogues
• Detailed notes for each application
• CSV import/export with smart data merging
• Interactive dashboard with application statistics
• Real-time search across all job details
• Multiple sort options (date added, last modified, alphabetical)
• Light and dark theme support

Technical Details

This project experiments with:

• NavigationSplitView for a modern three-column macOS layout
• SwiftData for local data persistence and schema migrations
• Responsive layouts that adapt to window size
• Real-time search and filtering capabilities
• Dynamic sorting with multiple criteria
• Smart CSV data import/export with duplicate handling
• Native macOS UI patterns and keyboard shortcuts
• Dynamic charts and statistics dashboard
• Form validation and data integrity checks
• Theme switching with system, light, and dark modes
• Confirmation dialogs for destructive actions

Status

This is an experimental project meant to explore SwiftUI and SwiftData capabilities on macOS. It's not intended for production use but rather as a learning platform for modern Apple development practices.

Requirements

• macOS 14.0 or later
• Xcode 15.0 or later

Development

The project uses:

• SwiftUI for the interface
