# or to use it without installing.
uvx --python 3.14 jobless

Commands

jobless has a small CLI that allows to do certain things that would be harder to do on a TUI.

export

You can export your entire database or your applications, companies, or contacts:

# Export everything into a ZIP file.
jobless export -f backup.zip

# Export only applications into a CSV file.
jobless export -f applications.csv --only applications

prune

The prune command lets you remove stale applications and orphaned records. You just need to run:

# See what's stale without deleting anything.
jobless prune --days 180 --dry-run

# Cleanup
jobless prune --days 180

Config

jobless looks for a config file at ~/.config/jobless/config.toml. By default, the SQLite database will also be created in this directory.

Theme

At the moment, you can customize the theme using any of the built-in textual themes. To change the theme, add the following line to your config file:

theme = "catppuccin-latte"
