About EchoFill

EchoFill is made by Thump LLC, a small software company in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Why it exists

EchoFill started during a long job search: more than four months and over 400 applications, each one retyping the same details. A single Workday application could take 20 to 30 minutes. Some of that was reading the job description to make sure the role was a fit, but a lot of it was typing the same name, address, contact details and work history into blank after blank.

The moment it clicked was a Saturday in a cafe: seven hours of applying to one job after another, and most of it spent on the same monotonous fields. We tried the autofill tools already out there. Some were expensive, and the rest didn't fit how we worked. One we used for a while needed very specific rules for each field, or it filled nothing. So we built our own.

EchoFill learns from you: fill a form once, and it fills it back in next time, automatically or with one click. That way your time goes to the answers that are actually worth writing.

It turned out to be useful well beyond job hunting. We use it for posting ads and blog listings, which ask for the same name, address, phone number and purpose every time. Family members use it too: it took one of them two or three tries to get the hang of it, and she has used it ever since.

Why the name

EchoFill: when you say something, it echoes back. EchoFill repeats what you entered before and fills the form with it.

Thump: the sound a beating heart makes, the thing that keeps us all going. Thump LLC makes productivity tools that give people back time in their daily lives.

What we believe

• Your answers are yours. EchoFill stores what you record only in your browser, on your device. There's no EchoFill account and no server copy, and nothing you type is sent to us or to an AI service. Our privacy policy says exactly what is and isn't stored.
• Reliable beats clever. EchoFill borrows an idea from manufacturing: poka-yoke, or mistake-proofing. Once a process is set up to work the same way every time, there's very little room for error. Record a form once, and the same answers go into the same fields every time.
• No AI where it isn't needed. AI is a useful tool, and it will change the decades ahead. But for mundane, repeatable forms, writing a prompt takes longer than the form itself. EchoFill doesn't use AI: it fills in exactly what you recorded, nothing more.
• Automate the admin, keep the judgment. Names, addresses and job histories should take one click. The answers that need tailoring to a specific role or form should stay yours, and EchoFill is built so they do.
• A free plan that's actually useful. Unlimited fills and three profiles, with no daily caps. Pro is for people who fill many different forms and want to support the work.
• Honest about limits. EchoFill doesn't fill rich-text editors yet, and attaching a saved résumé or cover letter needs Pro. When something doesn't work, the support page says so and explains the workaround.
