Your Sidedoor

Skip the pile.
Walk in through the side door.

Your Sidedoor finds the engineers and managers inside the companies you want, starts the conversation for you, and keeps it going, so your application arrives with someone on the inside instead of landing in a stack of 800.

Why I built this

I'm David, a Senior Software Engineer. A few months ago I was sending thousands of applications a month through an auto-apply tool and hearing almost nothing back. The interviews I did get came a different way: someone inside the company said "I'll refer you."

Doing that well for every company took hours a week, so I built an agent to do it with me. It took me from silence to interviews to an offer. Now it's yours to try. Find me on LinkedIn.

Follow on LinkedIn

An agent that networks the way you would, if you had the time.

It runs quietly on your machine every day. You set the targets and how much it's allowed to do on its own.

Research

Scans companies and roles that fit your search, and maps who's on the team you'd join.

Reach out

Writes a short, specific note to the right person, grounded only in your real resume.

Keep it going

Reads replies, drafts answers, follows up once, and knows when to stop.

Apply

Submits applications with your answers, and tracks every message sent in your name.

Cold applications are a lottery. Referrals aren't.

~7%of applicants come through referrals

1 in 16referred candidates is hired, versus about 1 in 100 overall

Built to be trusted with your name.

Your machine, your data

Your resume, profile, drafts and history are stored only on your computer. Outreach travels through our relay to be delivered, but the relay keeps no message content; it stores only your license and account link. How we protect it.

You choose the autonomy

Approve every message, or let it send on its own. Change your mind any time.

Never invents anything

Every note and answer is checked against what's actually in your profile before it goes out.

Conservative by design

Small daily limits, no repeat messages, and no more than a few people per company.

Questions people ask

What does it actually do?

It runs your job search with you: finds roles, finds the people inside who can refer you, writes and sends personal outreach, follows up, tailors your resume for application systems, applies, and tracks it all in one dashboard.

Does it send messages on its own?

Only if you let it. Switch to Review mode and nothing goes out until you approve it. You can change this any time in Settings.

Where does my data live?

On your computer. Your resume, profile, drafts and history are never stored on our servers. Outreach passes through our relay for delivery and is not kept. Drafting uses your own AI model key, so prompts go to the provider you choose. Full security details.

How is it kept secure?

Both apps are signed by a verified developer: Apple Developer ID on Mac and Microsoft Trusted Signing on Windows. Your keys sit in your computer's Keychain or Credential Manager, the dashboard only opens on your own computer, and updates install only when you approve them. See how Your Sidedoor protects you.

What do I need?

A Mac or Windows computer, about 15 minutes, and the accounts the setup guide walks you through, including your own AI model key.

How much does it cost?

14 days free, then $44.99 a month. Cancel any time from the billing link in your welcome email; first-month refunds within 14 days, no questions.

Can I see the code?

Yes. The source is on GitHub under the Business Source License.

Does it guarantee a job?

No tool can. It gets you in front of the right people faster; the interviews are yours to win.

Can someone help me set up?

Yes. Book a free 30-minute onboarding call on Google Meet and David will walk you through install, keys and your first search.
