How it works

From a message to a record

Most of a career arrives as email. Save what matters from each message in a few fields: a place, a next step and a record. Stet never reads your inbox.

You save the opening

A recruiter's note, a call for papers, a client brief: save each as an opening with its kind and its closing date.

Sends become journeys

Every application, proposal and submission keeps its own timeline, so you always know whose move it is.

Claims get proof

When a result arrives, note it as the proof behind a resume sentence. Patterns then show which version of your resume earns replies.

Try the verdict engine

Twelve fictional applications. Log a reply or a no and watch the band and the verdict move.

An application counts once it has ended, a person has replied, or it is 14 days old.

Fewer than eight on one side, so no call yet. 4 more counted applications on the smaller side would allow a call.

Each press adds one application sent with a note to a person.

What Stet will not do

  • Apply to jobs for you or scrape job boards.
  • Write sentences or letters with AI.
  • Share your data or show it to recruiters.
  • Track you across the web or sell anything to anyone.
  • Send streaks, badges or guilt.

What Stet keeps

  • Evidence over confidence.

  • Plain words, one sentence per idea.

  • Your data is yours: private, exportable, deletable.

  • Calm by default: no streaks, no pressure.

Let the good lines stand.
