A·PRI·CI·TY (n.) the warmth of the sun in winter
Your career story, in a new light.
A job search can feel like a long winter. Apricity is a warmer place to search: track your applications, tailor your resume for every kind of role, and take real breaks along the way.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Everything in one warm place
Application tracker
Move applications from Saved to Offer. If a company goes quiet for 30 days, Apricity gently checks in.
Resume versions
Keep a version for each kind of role, see which one you sent where, and download a clean PDF.
Rest, built in
Set a daily screen-time limit. When it runs out, Apricity rests for three hours, and so do you.
Break games
A new maze every day, and a few other small games for when you need a breather.
Coming soon: job fit scores, auto-filling a job from its link, and a career story assessment to help you find roles that fit who you are.
REST IS PART OF THE SEARCH
A job site that tells you to log off
Most job sites are built to keep you scrolling. Apricity is built to help you search well and then step away.
You choose your own limit. You'll get a gentle heads-up at 15 minutes and again at 5. When time is up, Apricity closes for at least three hours. If you're racing a real application deadline, you can take one 15-minute extension a day.
Everything you've saved will be right where you left it.
HOW APRICITY WAS MADE
Built by one person, with help from AI
Apricity started as pencil sketches on sticky notes. Valerie Gonzalez designed every page and feature, and built the site with Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic. Claude helped write much of the code, and Valerie shaped, tested, and decided on everything you see.
When Apricity's AI features arrive, they'll use Claude too. We'll always label what AI made, and its suggestions are starting points for your judgment, never verdicts about you.
You deserve to know how the tools you trust are made. So here it is, plainly.
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
$10 a year. No auto-renew, ever.
Apricity's price exists to keep the lights on, not to make anyone rich. Here's exactly where each $10 goes:
- Hosting and databaseKeeping the site and your data running all year$7.41
- AI featuresEstimated. Fit scores and auto-fill use Claude$1.00
- To ValerieThe one dollar of profit$1.00
- Payment processingWhat the card processor charges$0.59
You decide every year
Nothing renews on its own. Near the end of your year, we'll remind you once. Renew if Apricity is still helping, and don't if it isn't.
Your work stays yours
If you don't renew, you keep your account, your resumes, your tracker, and the games. Only the AI features pause. Got the job? You don't need to do a thing. Congratulations!
Apricity is free during the beta. These numbers are honest estimates, and we'll update them each year as real costs come in.
A NOTE FROM VALERIE
Why I built this
I built Apricity during my own job search, because I wanted a place that felt hopeful instead of heavy. I believe in authenticity, transparency, and earning trust through honesty, so that's how Apricity is run: you'll always know how it was made, what it costs, and where your money goes.
Wishing you warmth on the way. ☀
Valerie Gonzalez, Ed.D.
