Simplify is strongest at autofill — its extension fills application forms and can use AI to answer unique questions from your profile. If your bottleneck is the friction of filling out the same fields over and over, Simplify is a sensible tool for that workflow.
Hey Vitae is built for the opposite half of the same problem: deliberate search management. High-volume autofill makes it easier to send more applications, but more applications alone don’t necessarily create better outcomes. The leverage often lives in fit, prep, follow-through, and knowing what’s actually working on the roles you really want.
These tools can coexist. Use Simplify to apply faster, and use Hey Vitae as the system you manage the rest of the search in — interviews, follow-ups, prep, documents, and what’s converting.
Built for candidate momentum
Less setup, clearer next steps.
Hey Vitae is intentionally organized around the parts of the search candidates actually have to manage: roles, stages, prep, documents, follow-ups, and outcomes. Instead of asking you to build your own system or endlessly rewrite materials, it gives each job a clearer next step.
- See which jobs need attention
- Prep from the role you’re actually interviewing for
- Keep notes, docs, reminders, and outcomes connected

Start freeCommon questions
Does Hey Vitae apply to jobs for me?
No — and that's intentional. Auto-applying tends to produce noise, not interviews. Hey Vitae helps you apply more deliberately and follow through, so the roles you do pursue actually move forward.
Can I use Simplify and Hey Vitae together?
Yes. A common pattern is to use Simplify for fast applying and forward the resulting confirmations to your @heyvitae.co alias so Hey Vitae captures the role. From there you get prep kits, follow-up reminders, and visibility into what’s converting — without changing how you apply.
What is Hey Vitae?
Hey Vitae is a job-search workspace for candidates. It helps you track every role you're interested in, prep for interviews around the actual job, manage follow-ups, organize resumes and notes, and see what's actually moving — without turning your search into spreadsheet chaos.
Can I track interviews and follow-ups?
Yes. Interviews are first-class — you can prep with role-specific kits, log notes during and after, and schedule follow-up reminders. Threads from forwarded recruiter emails link to the right job automatically.
Is Hey Vitae free?
Yes — Free covers up to 20 tracked jobs, 3 saved documents, and limited AI boosts. No card needed to start. Pro is $19/month (or $54 for a 3-month pass) when your search picks up.
