🎯 offercatcher - Never Miss Interview Emails Again

Download offercatcher

🚀 What offercatcher does

offercatcher helps you keep track of job-related emails. It scans your inbox, finds messages about interviews, tests, and hiring steps, then sends those events to Apple Reminders.

Use it when you want to:

  • catch interview invites fast
  • track online tests and take-home tasks
  • keep hiring dates in one place
  • avoid missing mail in a busy inbox
  • keep your job search organized on your Mac or iPhone

📥 Download offercatcher

Visit the release page to download and run this file.

On the release page, look for the newest version. Download the file that matches your Windows device, then open it after the download finishes.

If you see more than one file, choose the one that ends with:

  • .exe for Windows
  • .zip if the app comes in a folder
  • .msi if the app uses the Windows installer

🖥️ Before you install

offercatcher is made for everyday use on Windows. A typical setup works well on:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • a stable internet connection
  • a Gmail account or another supported email account
  • Apple Reminders access if you want event sync
  • enough free space for the app and its local data

For best results, keep your inbox access open during setup so the app can read new mail and create reminders.

🛠️ How to install

  1. Open the release page
  2. Find the latest version near the top of the page
  3. Download the Windows file
  4. If the file is in a .zip, open it and extract the contents
  5. If the file is an .exe or .msi, double-click it to start setup
  6. Follow the on-screen steps
  7. If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes
  8. Open offercatcher after installation

✉️ How it works

offercatcher watches for common hiring emails such as:

  • interview requests
  • coding tests
  • written assessments
  • recruiter follow-ups
  • offer letters
  • schedule changes
  • calendar invites from hiring teams

It then turns those emails into reminders so you can see what is coming next. This helps when your job search moves across many companies at once.

🔗 Connect your email and reminders

After you open the app for the first time, follow the setup steps on screen.

You may be asked to:

  • sign in to your email account
  • allow access to your inbox
  • connect Apple Reminders
  • choose which email labels or folders to watch
  • set the reminder name format

If you use Gmail, keep the account you use for job search work ready during setup. If you use Apple devices, make sure Reminders is turned on for your account.

📋 Suggested setup for job seekers

If you want a clean setup, use these options:

  • watch only your job-search inbox or label
  • keep reminders in a list named Job Search
  • use short reminder titles with company name and event type
  • add due dates based on the interview time
  • keep follow-up reminders for 24 hours later

This setup makes it easier to scan your reminders list and see what needs action.

✅ What you can expect

Once offercatcher is running, it can help you:

  • spot new hiring emails faster
  • save time sorting messages
  • keep interview dates in one place
  • reduce missed replies
  • track several applications at once
  • stay ready for each step in the hiring process

🔒 Privacy and access

offercatcher works with your email so it can find job-related messages. Only grant access you are comfortable with. If you use a shared computer, sign out of your accounts when you finish.

For the smoothest setup, use your own device and the same email account you used during your job search.

🧭 Daily use

After setup, the app can run in the background while you use your computer. You do not need to check every message by hand. When a recruiter sends a new invite or test, offercatcher creates a reminder you can review later.

A simple daily flow looks like this:

  1. Check your reminders in the morning
  2. Review anything marked for today
  3. Open the related email when you need details
  4. Join interviews on time
  5. Mark the reminder done when finished

🧩 Tips for better results

  • use one email account for job search
  • keep your inbox tidy with a job-search label
  • keep Apple Reminders synced on your devices
  • use clear subject lines when you reply
  • review reminders before each interview day
  • keep notification alerts on for your reminder list

❓ Common questions

Do I need coding knowledge?

No. You only need to download the file, install it, and follow the setup steps on screen.

Will it work with interview emails in Chinese?

Yes, it is built for email triage and job search use, so it can help with Chinese-language hiring mail as well as common English messages.

Can I use it on iPhone?

You can use Apple Reminders on iPhone to see the events that offercatcher adds. The app itself is installed on Windows.

Does it only work with Gmail?

Gmail is the most common choice, but the app is built around email triage, so it may support other email sources depending on your setup.

What if I get too many reminders?

Use a single job-search label, and keep the reminder list focused on interviews and tests only. That keeps the list easy to read.
