Overview

What is Karemo?

Karemo is a job-search CRM for people who want structure without getting buried in spreadsheets, folders, and inboxes.

Everything in one place

Store roles, applications, documents, interviews, and notes together so you never search for the latest version.

Progress you can feel

See where you are in each process, what is urgent, and who needs a follow-up.

Why

Why Karemo?

When job search, follow-up, and documents start drifting apart, Karemo gives you one clear workflow.

Spreadsheets that grow out of control

Multiple tabs and versions make it hard to see what is real and current.

Forgotten follow-up dates

It is easy to lose track of who you were supposed to contact and when.

Documents scattered across folders and email

When files are everywhere, it takes longer to act with confidence.

One focused workspace

Bring opportunities, contacts, and documents into a single flow.

Reliable follow-up

Karemo keeps the next step visible so nothing slips through the cracks.

Comparison

Why not Excel/Notion?

Excel and Notion are useful, but they are not built for ongoing job search workflows. Karemo is.

XExcel

  • Great for tables and quick numeric overviews
  • Requires manual setup and ongoing maintenance
  • No built-in follow-up flow or reminders

NNotion

  • Flexible and strong for notes and documentation
  • Needs significant setup to stay structured
  • Not purpose-built for job search prioritization

KKaremo

  • Pre-structured for job search from day one
  • Dashboard with status, next steps, and progress
  • Simple to log, follow up, and prioritize daily
Features

Key features

Overview, follow-up, and documents in one focused system.

Job and application tracking

Track roles, progress, and next steps without jumping between tools.

Contact and network overview

Visualize your network and see who needs a follow-up.

Document management

Attach CVs, cover letters, and notes to each process.

Interview logs and notes

Capture meetings and impressions while they are fresh.

URL import and smart module flow

Import job postings from URL, including finn.no, jobbnorge.no, arbeidsplassen.nav.no, jobs.mojob.io, thehub.io, jobylon.com, webcruiter.no, stillinger.greatpeople.no, karriere.no, and jobs.no. Choose the right posting in the application flow and save custom profiles for new domains.

AI-assisted cover letters

Create editable cover-letter drafts from job data, stored job-ad snapshots, and a linked JSON CV. You can now launch the flow directly from a selected job posting, and Karemo reuses or creates the right application automatically.

AI

AI cover letters

Karemo helps with the first draft without taking control away from you. Everything is based on data already in your workflow.

Built on real application data

The draft is generated from job data, a stored job-ad snapshot, and the linked JSON CV for the active application. URL-imported job ads now save their text automatically for the AI flow.

Editable and saved per application

Nothing is locked. You can edit, save, and reopen the draft later as part of the same application process, whether you start from the application itself or from a selected job posting.

Requires simple AI setup

You choose provider and model in Settings. The API key is stored encrypted per Windows user, and the feature is available when the application has a linked JSON CV.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions new users ask most often.

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored locally on your own machine. Nothing is sent to external servers.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Karemo does not collect personal data for analytics. Updates are validated with checksums (SHA-256), normal configuration requires HTTPS for updates and license verification, and the local lease cache is hardened with Windows protection.

Does Karemo create backups?

Karemo does not create automatic backups today. You can copy your data folder (SQLite + documents) whenever you want.

How do I use Karemo?

Start by adding your first opportunity or role. Then track contacts, notes, and status updates in one workflow, and use AI cover letters when a JSON CV is linked to the application.

Do I need an account?

No. Karemo works without sign-in, so you can start immediately.

How does AI work in Karemo?

AI can be used to generate editable cover-letter drafts. You configure provider and model in Settings, the API key is stored encrypted per Windows user, and the draft is generated from job data, job-ad snapshots, and a linked JSON CV.

Can I test Karemo on Mac?

Yes, if you run Windows on your Mac with Parallels Desktop or similar virtualization software. Karemo is a Windows client, so the test setup needs to provide a normal Windows installation.

Does it cost anything?

Karemo has a free trial. Full access requires a license.

Can I export my data?

Yes. You can export or copy your data folder at any time.

Privacy

Privacy and data security

Karemo is built for safe use. You keep full control of your data inside the application, while the website only uses simple visit logging for operations and follow-up.

What data does Karemo store?

  • Only data you add yourself, such as jobs, contacts, activities, and notes.
  • No account is required. Karemo uses a local license file and does not collect personal data for analytics inside the application.

Where is the data stored?

  • All data is stored locally on your own machine (SQLite under LocalAppData).
  • The website logs basic visit data such as page, timestamp, referrer, and anonymized IP hash in local log files.
  • Updates are fetched through a manifest with checksum validation.
  • The website also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may send requests to Google when the page is opened.
  • External traffic only happens in user-driven flows such as update checks or API integrations.
  • You stay in control: delete, export, or move your data whenever you want.
