Last updated 13 September 2026. Version 3.13.0-beta.85 (worth quoting if you email us about a problem)
Fixed: “I’ve applied — mark as done” did not move the job to Applied
A beta tester pressed Continue on the Dashboard’s “Pick up where you left off” card, applied for the job, and pressed the mark-as-done button. The Dashboard still showed the job as in progress. The button was writing the change down in one place, and the Dashboard was looking in another. It now updates both, so the job moves to Applied in one click. If you worked around this by changing the status by hand, nothing you did needs undoing.
Fixed: Find jobs was showing postings up to three months old
A beta tester spotted jobs posted 80 and 146 days ago in his results. We traced it to one of our three job sources ignoring the date window we asked for. Results are now limited to the last 7 days by default, and a new “Posted within” picker lets you choose 24 hours or 3 days instead. Listings that do not say when they were posted are now labelled “Date unknown” rather than passing as fresh.
Fixed: a job could say “Worth applying” when its own notes said you could not get it
The same tester’s screenshot showed a card headlined “Worth applying” whose explanation ended with a residency rule he could not meet. The headline only looked at whether you met the main requirement. Now, if a listing states a rule you cannot satisfy by applying — a required licence, a security clearance, a “must live in” area — the card says Not eligible, names the rule, and drops below the jobs you can actually get. It does not flag a job just for being on-site somewhere; where to look is your choice.
Fixed: your “ideal salary” was quietly hiding better-paying jobs
The job search copied the Target / Ideal Salary from your profile into a “Max salary” box and sent it to the job board as a ceiling, so anything paying more than your ideal never appeared — and pressing Reset put it back. That box is gone. Your profile figure is still used where it belongs, in the salary check on the analysis screen.
Salaries now say when they are an estimate, and the salary sort works
Most job boards publish no pay at all. One of ours, Adzuna, fills the gap with its own estimate from similar listings, and we were showing those exactly like figures an employer had posted. Estimates are now marked “est.”. “Highest salary first” also had a bug that made any salary range outrank any single figure; it now sorts by the actual amount. The “Include no-salary listings” tick box is gone because, on inspection, it changed nothing.
The Find jobs labels now say what the suggestions do
The “Job titles” and “Keywords” chips come from your resume; clicking a title searches for it, clicking a keyword adds it to your search (click again to take it out). The main search box is where any extra keywords go — there is no separate “include keywords” box, because the search treats words in that box the same way. “Title only” now explains itself.
Fixed: Vyn could tell you a resume was a strong match when it had not checked
On the Improve step, if Vyn had no specific rewrites to offer, it said “Your resume is a strong match for this role” and pointed you at Apply — even when your score for that job was low. Having no suggestions is not the same as having nothing to fix; it also happens when that step did not finish. Vyn now only says you are a strong match when your score says so, and otherwise tells you your score and where to look.
Fixed: the welcome screen trapped you if you opened Vyn on a phone
Its buttons sat below the bottom of the screen, the screen would not scroll to reach them, and there was no way to close it — so the only thing you could tap was “See a live example”. You could not get in, get out, or tell us about it. The welcome screen now scrolls and has a close button.
On a phone, Vyn now says so
Phones and tablets are still rough — that has not changed, and it is still on the list below. What has changed is that Vyn tells you up front instead of leaving you to find out, and points you at opening the same link on a computer.
The upload box now says where your resume goes
Your resume is saved on the device you are using and we keep no copy on our servers. To read it, the text is sent to our AI provider. That was always true; it just was not written down anywhere you could see it.
You can now remove a job straight from the Dashboard
A beta tester went looking for a way to delete finished jobs three separate times and could not find it, because the only one was tucked away on another screen. Every row on your Dashboard now has a Remove button. Deleting is permanent, so export a backup first if you are unsure.
Archived jobs have their own section now
They used to sit in with your interviews and closed applications, which made that list harder to scan. Archived jobs now live in their own section at the bottom of the Dashboard, folded away until you want them.
The numbers at the top of your Dashboard now say what they mean
“Active” only ever counted jobs you had not sent yet, so it could read zero while you had ten applications out. It is now called “In progress”. “Interviews” quietly included offers, which made the number look too high; offers now have their own count and only appear when you have one.
A Clear button on the job form
The job form keeps what you typed, which is handy when you are re-checking an updated resume against the same posting. When you genuinely want a blank form, there is now a Clear button rather than deleting three boxes by hand.
Fixed: messages that could not be closed once you opened a window
Four of Vyn’s pop-up messages sat on top of any window you opened afterwards and stopped responding at the same moment, so neither could be closed. The most serious was the screen that helps you recover damaged data. All four now sit behind windows, and the two “are you sure?” bars can always be answered.
Vyn uses about half as much browser space
Vyn keeps a spare copy of your data in case the main one is ever damaged. That spare was sitting in the same limited space as everything else and effectively doubling what Vyn used, which is what pushed one tester over the limit twice. It now lives somewhere with far more room. Nothing about the safety net changed, and you do not need to do anything.
Fixed: the “ran out of space” message could trap you in a window
A beta tester found this one and it was our fault. If that message was showing and you opened Save My Data, the message sat on top of the window and covered its close button — and its own “Got it” button stopped working at the same time, so there was no way out of either. One tester escaped only by dragging the window onto a second screen. The message now sits behind any window you open. It is still there waiting when you close the window, and it still saves your work to a file first.
Fixed: Vyn could fill up your browser's storage and stall partway through improving a resume
A beta tester hit this and it cost him his saved work, so this one matters. Vyn saves everything inside your browser, and every time you improved a resume it was tucking away another complete copy of your document's formatting. Enough rounds of that and the space ran out: saving started failing and the improve step froze partway through the suggestions. Vyn now keeps that formatting copy only for your two most recent versions, which cuts the space it uses roughly in half. Your saved versions, their text, and your downloads are all unchanged. If space ever does run out, Vyn still rescues your work to a file — and now it tells you the file's name in a message that stays on screen instead of flashing past, because that file may be the only copy. One more fix in the same area: restoring a backup no longer skips your saved profile without telling you.
Find jobs now has a front-door button on your Dashboard
A beta tester told us the job search was too easy to miss — it only appeared after you clicked “+ New Application”, and nothing on the Dashboard said it existed. Fair point. There is now a “🔍 Find jobs” button right beside “+ New Application”, and the Dashboard’s “Find a job” link now opens the job search instead of the paste screen. Pasting a full posting is still the recommended way to get the most accurate score.
Better advice when keywords are dragging your score
The score card used to say “add the missing terms from the Keywords panel”, which reads as: add all of them. That is bad advice. Putting words in your resume that your own experience does not back up sets you up for an interview question you cannot answer — and Vyn’s rewrite tool already refused to do it. The card now tells you to add the missing terms you have real experience with, so the advice and the rewriter finally say the same thing.
The Apply screen now says where its button sends you
Vyn’s Apply button opens the employer’s own website rather than the job board you found the posting on, and nothing told you that. A short line under the button now does. Applying through the company itself generally gets further than applying through a board.
New: archive a job you never applied to, and Insights will ignore it
A beta tester caught a real problem. If you score a job just to compare resumes — say you polish your resume and run the same posting again to see the new score — the only status that fit the old one was “Not Proceeded”, and Insights then read it as a real rejection and drew conclusions from it. There is now an honest answer: open the job from your Dashboard and set its status to Archived (not applying). Archived jobs keep their row under “Interview / Completed”, so nothing disappears, but they no longer count as applications and Insights leaves them out entirely. Pick any other status later to bring one back.
Job results now show which board they came from
Search results that come from Adzuna carry a “Jobs by Adzuna” label linking back to them, so you can always see who supplied a listing. Results from other boards keep their own source tag. Nothing about how you search or what you see has changed otherwise.
Fixed: a warning about ALL CAPS that you could not make go away
A beta tester reported that the Health Check kept insisting their summary was typed in capital letters when it plainly was not — and no amount of retyping, re-saving, or running Polish cleared the warning. They were right and it was our bug, not their resume: when Vyn read a Word file, it converted headings and bold lines to capitals in its own working copy before the AI ever saw them. That no longer happens. If you have seen this warning, upload your resume once more and Vyn will judge what you actually wrote.
Vyn now searches live job listings for you — nothing to set up
Finding jobs used to require creating your own job-board accounts and pasting in access keys, which understandably nobody did. That requirement is gone: Vyn’s own service now does the searching, the same way it already handles the AI. Open “Pick a job”, choose the new Find jobs tab, type a job title and a place (and the country picker now works properly), and search. Full listings get a real match score; short teaser listings are labelled instead of scored, and their Analyze button takes you to Paste a Job so you can give Vyn the full posting.
Job match scores now read more of the job listing
When Vyn scores the jobs it finds for you, it was reading only the opening of each listing — often stopping before the requirements, the part that actually decides whether you are a fit. It now reads well over twice as much. And if a listing is too short to say what the job requires at all, the score is labelled “Preliminary — based on a short job summary” rather than presented as a verdict. For a real score, open the job and paste the full posting into Vyn.
The rewrite preview now shows its keyword score
After Vyn rewrites your resume, the preview used to promise it added keywords from the job posting without ever saying which, or how many. It now tells you, for example, “7 of 9 keywords from the job posting now in your resume” — and it says how many were not added, so you can go back to the suggestions and see for yourself. Vyn still will not put a claim in your resume that your resume does not back up.
Fixed: the Skills to Add tab never showed the skills to add
Its “Missing Skills by Frequency” list was meant to name the skills from job postings that your resume is missing, but it had never listed a single one. It does now. The Career Intelligence page and your downloaded job summary had the same problem and are fixed the same way.
The Keywords, What’s Missing and Skills to Add tabs now say where their suggestions go
Each of these panels feeds the “Improve my resume” rewriter below it, but nothing told you that. A short note on each one now says so.
Under-the-hood reliability: the live word counters can no longer get tangled up
If two things were generating at once — say, a cover letter and a follow-up email close together — the running word count could occasionally show the wrong one’s progress. Each AI reply now owns its own counter, so what you see is always the one you are actually waiting on. Nothing about how Vyn writes, or what it writes, changed.
Two more “add a job” buttons now match the rest of the app
The Career Intelligence page (shown before you’ve analyzed two jobs) had a “+ Add Job” button and the empty right-hand panel a “+ Start an Analysis” button — both opened an older form. Last release fixed the one on the Past Jobs tab; these two now take you to the same Paste a Job screen as everywhere else.
You can now watch Vyn work
While Vyn reads a job against your resume, the screen used to sit almost still for a minute. Now your match score appears within a few seconds of being decided, and Vyn names the part it is writing — suggestions, gaps, and so on. Writing a cover letter or an email shows progress too: Vyn counts the words as it writes them.
The progress bar stopped exaggerating
It used to race to 99% and then sit there while most of the work was still being done. It now moves with the work that has actually arrived, and each wait says up front that it takes about a minute.
The word count during the wait now matches what you get
While a cover letter or email is being written, Vyn drafts two versions and you keep the one you prefer. The running count used to include both, so it read about double the finished text. Now it estimates the words you will actually see.
Fixed: the “+ Add First Job” button did nothing
On the Past Jobs tab, the button you see before you have saved any jobs did not respond when clicked. It now opens the Paste a Job form.
The small print is bigger
Status labels, the small coloured tags, and the little captions under your score were set smaller than everything else. They are the same size as the rest of the small text now, so you should not have to lean in to read them.
Two washed-out colours are easier to read
The green “high impact” tag, and the green buttons while your mouse is over them, were too pale against their backgrounds. Both are darker now.
You can see where you are when using the keyboard
If you move around with the Tab key rather than the mouse, a blue outline now shows which button or box you are on. In most places there was nothing to see before.
Fixed: “Failed to generate suggestions”
Reported by a beta tester. Claude’s reply arrives in pieces, and Vyn could throw away characters from the middle of it — leaving a perfectly good answer that would not load. It now waits for each piece to arrive complete. If you hit this, please try that job again.
Easier to use with the keyboard, or a screen reader
Press Tab and the first thing you land on is now a “Skip to the main content” button, so you do not have to tab through the header every time. Every screen now has a proper title that reading software can find and announce, and moving to a new screen takes your keyboard there instead of leaving it behind. The three optional job-search boxes now say what they are rather than reading as “blank”. Nothing looks any different.
The first screen appears sooner
Vyn was loading four large helper programs before it drew anything on screen, even though none of them is needed until you upload a resume or download a file. They now load quietly in the background while the page appears. On a phone, or on a slow connection, that is the difference between staring at a blank screen and being able to start.
Better if you use a screen reader
A screen reader is software that reads the page aloud. Boxes you type into say their own name instead of “blank”, and you are told when the analysis has finished rather than being left in silence. New this time: the short messages Vyn shows after you do something, like “Saved”, “Download started”, or an error, are now read out too. Before, they appeared on screen and said nothing. Pop-up windows read their title when they open, and the Tab key stays inside the window until you close it.
Less movement, if you have asked your computer for that
Things slide and fade less when your computer is set to reduce movement. The loading circles still turn, so you can still tell Vyn is working.
Your accepted changes now reach the downloaded file
This is the big one. If you went through the suggested improvements and accepted them, the file you downloaded could still be your original resume, usually after a red error that vanished before you could read it. It hit longer bullet points hardest. Fixed.
If a change cannot be made, Vyn says which one and why
The note stays on screen instead of flashing past, and it shows the original and the suggested wording in full so you can make that change yourself. Your other accepted changes are still made, and they are in the file you download.
Cover letters stay with their own job
A letter written for one employer could still be sitting on screen when you switched to another job, under the new employer's name. Each job now shows only its own letter.
The cover letter word count now counts the letter
It was also counting the labels and notes around the letter, so a 330 word letter could be reported as 401 and marked as too long.
Clicking “Improve my resume” twice no longer starts two runs
It used to start a second run on top of the first one. Now the second click simply tells you it is still working.
The buttons no longer cover the progress steps
At the top of the screen, the Dashboard button and the version number were sitting on top of steps 3 and 4, so you could not read them.
Vyn reopens on the job you were working on
It used to come back to whichever job sat at the top of your list.
