The job hunt has a peculiar tax: the fifteenth time you copy a job description into a Google Doc, you start to wonder whether the energy might have been better spent prepping for the interview you'll never schedule because you haven't applied. The Pegasus extension exists to delete that tax.
Pegasus lives as a small browser clipper. You're on a job posting; you click the icon; the extension reads the page, prefills company, role, location, salary, and the description, and offers to drop the job into your tracker at a stage of your choice. No tab-juggling, no spreadsheet, no copy-paste rituals.
Setting it up once
Setup is meant to be boring on purpose. Sign in with the same Google account you use for the app, head to Settings, and generate an extension token — a short string prefixed with pg_. Paste it into the extension once and forget it exists. The token authenticates every clip after that, scoped to your account, revocable from Settings if you ever need to.
The extension stays pinned in a side panel. As you flip between job tabs, it re-extracts data on each switch and saves drafts per URL — so if you start writing a private note about a posting and then get pulled away, the note is still there when you come back.
What the side panel does
Three things, in order of how often you'll use them:
- Auto-extract for LinkedIn, Indeed, and Naukri. Title, company, location, salary band, the JD body. You skim, correct, and save.
- Manual fallback for every other job site. The clipper still captures the URL and lets you fill the rest by hand — no site is unsupported, just less assisted.
- Duplicate detection by URL, so you don't quietly double-save a posting after going down a research rabbit hole.
You can also drop a freeform note while clipping — the kind of thing you'd otherwise lose: "referred by Anita", "this is the third time this company has reposted", "ask about on-call cadence".
Why it matters
A job tracker only works if it's faster than the alternative — and the alternative is "I'll add it later", which means never. By the time you're at twenty open applications and four interview loops in flight, the cost of forgetting one is real: a follow-up missed, a recruiter ghosted, an offer window quietly closed.
The clipper exists so adding a job costs less attention than tabbing back to the spreadsheet. Once it costs less, it happens. Once it happens, the tracker actually reflects reality. That's the whole game.
