Freelancer from Hamburg here. š
Got tired of opening 10 browser tabs every morning and drowning in countless recruiter emails. So
I built Falcon and its iOS app. š
It consolidates projects from several freelance platforms in DACH region, matches them against your CV, and sends an iOS push notification as soon as something really fits. [currently 6:
redglobal.de,
contractor.de,
solcom.de,
computerfutures.com,
somi.de,
constaff.com; more in the pipeline thanks to a modular microservice architecture]
A few points that might be relevant here:
ā¢
No membership or subscription planned. The idea is that you can use the app for free. Current features will stay free forever, and if Falcon ever gets monetized, it will only be through new features, not by putting paywalls on what already exists.
⢠Open Source under AGPL-3.0 ā forking and self-hosting is always an option:

⢠GDPR-native: in the hosted version, matching runs through Mistral AI in France. Self-hosters can run it fully on-premise via Ollama (bge-m3). No training data, no ad networks, no analytics.
⢠Native iOS with push notifications. Not another newsletter.

Looking for honest feedback from freelancers actively working the DACH market. Upload your CV, use it for a few days, tell me what doesn't work. Platform requests (Akkodis, Hays, ITechConsult, Gulp, etc.) are welcome. Currently iOS only and would be curious to hear whether Android, web client, or desktop would be a priority for you.
