Hundreds of postings swept. Four worth the morning.
A desktop application for Windows that reads the world’s job feeds every morning, judges every posting against a fit brief built in an interview, and hands back a ranked shortlist — with the rejections shown, and the reason for each one stated. Every company pursued is tracked, and every follow-up is written as a draft to be sent by hand.
Dawnlist is bought and used by the person looking for work, and serves nobody else. Employers cannot post vacancies through it, pay for placement in it or advertise in it, and nothing in it is sold to anyone but the subscriber.
Subscriptions are not open yet. Dawnlist is on the Microsoft Store for Windows and installs free, but it needs a subscription to run. A Mac App Store edition has been submitted to Apple. The waiting list below is the way to hear when subscriptions open.
Every outreach path ends in a draft. Dawnlist writes a follow-up as a file that opens in the mail application already on the machine, addressed and composed and ready — and then stops. The send is a decision taken by a person, in that person’s own mail client.
This is a boundary in the design rather than a setting to be switched. The application carries no code for sending mail at all, and asks for no mailbox password, no sign-in and no connection of any kind. Nothing can go out by accident, by a defect, or overnight while nobody is watching.
It is also the whole argument against applying automatically. A hundred applications fired off by a machine is not a job search, and the employers on the receiving end can tell.
An address left below brings a confirmation now, and one message when a licence can be bought. Nothing else is sent, and the list is not used for any other purpose.
Worth knowing before joining. Dawnlist will cost $79 a month before tax, charged as a subscription rather than bought once, and it needs an Anthropic account of your own — a key entered during setup, billed to you directly by Anthropic, usually a pound or two a month. Without that key the application cannot work at all. What the price includes.
Dawnlist is the third product from Spencer Fields, alongside Easy-Post and Wren. All of them are listed at software.spencerfields.com.
