Free beta for Mac

A Mac app for freelancers that finds jobs that actually fit you, helps you write the pitch and the proposal, and keeps tabs on who still owes you. Claude drafts, you decide what goes out, and it all stays on your Mac.

Before the project starts, and after it ends

The work is the easy part.

Most freelance tools kick in once you've landed the project. Eltryx handles the stuff around it: finding work that fits, pitching it well, following up before it goes cold and making sure you actually get paid.

Works with

  • Contra
  • Claude
  • iCloud Drive
  • Dropbox
  • Google Drive

01Find it

Open job boards, the careers pages you keep an eye on and your Contra feed, each scored against your resume with a plain reason why.

Command

Your day, in order.

The proposal that needs a nudge, the late invoice, the job you saved for today. Every item tells you why it's on the list, and Claude gives you a quick rundown of the day.

Three steps and you're up and running.

Anything optional can wait. Hook it up later.

Request access

02

Add your Claude key

Plus your resume, so Eltryx knows what you do.

Setup walks you through

  • Your own Claude API key from Anthropic
  • Safe in your Mac's keychain
  • Everything else is optional

03

Connect what you use

Link Contra and pick a backup folder.

Any time

  • Contra, read only
  • Daily backups to iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive
  • A free Adzuna key for jobs near you

Privacy and control

Your business stays on your Mac.

Eltryx only goes online when a feature you switched on needs it. It writes the drafts, you decide what goes out, and anything you don't use stays out of your way.

Connects only when you ask it to

  • Claude
  • Contra
  • Remotive
  • Remote OK
  • We Work Remotely
  • Himalayas
  • Jobicy
  • Adzuna

01Only when you ask

Every outside connection starts with something you did and goes straight from your Mac to that service. No Eltryx server sits in the middle.

02It drafts, you send

Eltryx writes the pitch, the proposal and the follow-up. It won't send, apply or bill on your behalf, and it only ever reads from Contra.

Re Website rebuild proposal

Hi Priya, just checking in on the Kestrel proposal.

Happy to walk through the Growth package on a quick call.

Would Thursday work?

Waiting for you

03Make it yours

Turn off what you don't need and it disappears from the app without deleting a thing. Pick a theme, accent and font, and brand your PDFs.

Features

Questions

Before you install

  • Yep, for the whole beta.

  • No, and it isn't trying to. Eltryx covers finding work, winning it and getting paid. Keep your usual tools for tasks, time and files.

  • Nope. Connect it and your Contra jobs, invoices and payments come in on their own. Skip it and just switch the Contra parts off.

  • No. It drafts, you send. It only reads from Contra, and it never applies, messages or bills anyone for you.

  • Right on your Mac, in one database file, with daily backups to a folder you choose. No account, no Eltryx server. Want it all out, or all gone? Export or delete everything from Settings.

  • You pay Anthropic directly for what you use. Light daily use usually costs a few dollars a month, and you can check your usage anytime in your Anthropic account. No key? Everything except the AI features still works.

  • No. Tailored resumes and answers only draw on what's in your baseline resume, and every line shows you where it came from.

  • Eltryx checks for new versions, grabs them in the background and asks before it restarts. Release notes are a click away in Settings.

  • It was! Same app, new name. If you're already testing it, it updates on its own and keeps your data, keys and settings exactly where you left them.

  • Not yet, but it's on the list. Eltryx is Mac only while the beta is small. On Windows? Request access anyway, mention it in the form, and I'll email you as soon as there's a version to try.
