Question 1

What is Anchor?

Accepted Answer

Anchor is a neurodivergent-friendly career app designed to make job hunting clearer, easier, and less overwhelming. It helps you find better-fit opportunities, tailor your resume, track every application, prepare for interviews, and stay focused on the next step.

Built for people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other forms of neurodivergence, Anchor adapts to the way your mind works and supports the parts of the job search that place the greatest demand on executive functioning.

Instead of measuring success only by whether you get hired, Anchor also recognizes the progress it takes to keep moving forward.

Question 2

Does Anchor track my job applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anchor keeps every application you send on one board, so the state of your job search lives somewhere other than your memory.

Each job arrives already parsed into scannable facts — the role, the company, and what the posting is actually asking for — whether you saved it with the browser extension or added it yourself. As you apply, interview, and hear back, the board holds where each one stands.

Everything autosaves. You can step away for two weeks and come back to exactly where you left off, with nothing lost and nothing to rebuild. Unlimited application tracking is included on the Free plan.

Question 3

What if I forget to follow up on an application?

Accepted Answer

Anchor drafts the follow-up for you and surfaces it on the application when it is the thing that needs attention.

Rather than sending you a stream of reminders, Anchor marks the single pending action that matters on a job you have already applied to — an overdue follow-up, a scheduled interview, a live offer. Most of the time it stays quiet, because a flag on every card is just noise.

When a follow-up is due, you get a drafted message you can edit and send, instead of a blank page. Following up is the part of a job search that leans hardest on memory and executive functioning, which is exactly why Anchor holds it instead of expecting you to.

Question 4

How does Anchor help me practice for an interview?

Accepted Answer

Anchor gives you the questions you are likely to be asked, explains what the interviewer is really testing for underneath the words, and then lets you practice your answers out loud.

There is no timer, no audience, and nobody watching. You can pause whenever you need to and retry as many times as you want. Feedback is honest rather than flattering, and it always tells you the fix, not just the miss.

The Free plan includes one practice interview. Anchor Pro includes unlimited interview preparation.

Question 5

Do I need a diagnosis to use Anchor?

Accepted Answer

No. Anchor is for anyone who feels wired differently — whether you are formally diagnosed, self-identified, or simply know that parts of the job search are harder for you.

You choose the preferences that fit how your mind works. Anchor never asks for proof, never assigns or infers a diagnosis, and you can skip this step entirely.

Question 6

How much does Anchor cost?

Accepted Answer

Anchor offers a free plan with no credit card required. The Free plan includes unlimited application tracking, job saving through the Chrome extension, resume building, editing, and downloads. You also get access to several AI-powered tools: 3 tailored resumes, 3 cover letters, 3 job-fit reports, 1 practice interview, and 1 follow-up email. Anchor Pro unlocks unlimited resume tailoring, cover letters, interview preparation, complete career-quiz results, fit scores for every job, and live coaching. Launch pricing is $8.99 per week, $29.99 per month, or $59.99 for 3 months. The regular monthly price will soon be $49.99. Cancel anytime. Anything you create with Anchor Pro remains available to you.

Question 7

What is live coaching in Pro?

Accepted Answer

Anchor Pro includes access to the Anchor career community, featuring live group calls led by experienced coaches. Each call combines a short, practical lesson with open Q&A, so you can get guidance on the challenges you are facing right now. You will also join a private community with additional resources and members working toward the same goal: landing the job, keeping the job, and growing their careers. For more personalized support, one-on-one coaching is available separately.

Question 8

Can I try Anchor without paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and there is no time limit. Anchor’s Free plan is not a trial. You can use unlimited application tracking, save jobs with the Chrome extension, and build, edit, and download resumes at no cost. You also receive 3 tailored resumes, 3 cover letters, 3 job-fit reports, 1 practice interview, and 1 follow-up email. No credit card is required. Should you upgrade to Pro and later cancel, there is no long-term contract or complicated cancellation process. Your application tracker, resumes, saved jobs, and progress remain available on the Free plan, and anything you created with Pro stays viewable.

Question 9

What happens after I get the job?

Accepted Answer

Anchor keeps supporting you after you are hired. Through the Anchor Pro career community, you can get help navigating the first weeks and months on the job — including building routines, understanding workplace expectations, communicating clearly, asking for support, and handling the unwritten rules that can make a new job difficult. Most job-search tools stop once you get hired. Anchor is designed to help you land the job, keep the job, and grow your career. You can cancel Pro anytime and return to the Free plan. If you go back to the Free plan you do lose access to the community and coaching; your tracker, resumes, saved jobs, and progress remain yours, and anything you created with Pro stays viewable.

Question 10

Can someone else pay for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A parent, mentor, or supporter can pay for Anchor Pro on your behalf. Simply copy your personal payment link from Anchor’s pricing screen and send it to them. They complete the purchase using their own email address and payment method. The Anchor account — and everything inside it — remains yours. The person paying receives the receipt, but they do not receive access to your account or information.

Question 11

I’m a parent. Is Anchor right for my son or daughter?

Accepted Answer

Anchor is designed for adults 18 and older who want to work but get stuck in the job-search process — whether they identify with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, another form of neurodivergence, or simply know traditional job-search tools do not fit the way they think. It may be a good fit when your son or daughter wants the job but struggles to start, follow through, tailor a resume, track applications, or manage all the moving parts. Anchor provides structure, prompts, organization, and clear next steps. It does not apply for them, guarantee placement, provide therapy, or replace a coach or clinician. Anchor is not currently available to anyone under 18.

Question 12

I want to pay for my child’s Pro. How does that work?

Accepted Answer

Your child can copy their personal payment link from Anchor’s pricing screen and send it to you. You then complete the purchase using your own email address and payment method. Anchor Pro is added directly to their account. You receive the payment receipt, but you do not create an Anchor account or gain access to theirs. Their resumes, applications, saved jobs, and progress remain private and belong to them. There is no long-term contract. To cancel, email info@idealminds.ai. Their account will return to the Free plan, and everything they created will remain available.

Question 13

How do I know they’ll actually use it?

Accepted Answer

We cannot promise they will use it consistently — but Anchor is designed to remove many of the reasons people stop. There is no blank page. Each screen gives them one clear next action, because getting started is often the hardest part. Nothing is timed, and there are no streaks, leaderboards, or penalties for stepping away. Whether they return tomorrow or two weeks from now, Anchor picks up where they left off without making them feel behind. And because the Free plan requires no credit card, they can try it without pressure and see whether the structure works for them.

Question 14

If I am a parent or mentor who is paying, what can I see?

Accepted Answer

Only the payment charge and receipt. Privacy is intentional. To understand how things are going, the best approach is to ask them directly and agree together on what they are comfortable sharing.

Question 15

If I am a parent or mentor who is paying, when they get hired should we keep using Anchor Pro?

Accepted Answer

First, celebrate — that is a wonderful success. Remember that Anchor Pro is built for both parts of the journey: landing the job and keeping it. The first weeks and months can be the hardest part — especially when it comes to building routines, understanding unwritten workplace expectations, communicating needs, and asking for accommodations. If that transition is where they are most likely to need support, Pro can continue helping after the offer through the Anchor career community. If you cancel, they lose access to the community and coaches.

Question 16

Is it cheating to use AI to tailor my resume?

Accepted Answer

No. Using AI to tailor your resume is a tool — just like spell-check, resume software, or a calculator. Anchor does not invent experience, skills, or accomplishments. It helps you describe your real background using language that better matches a specific job posting, increasing your chances of gaining an interview. Employers are looking for candidates that best match their job descriptions. Anchor simply makes tailoring your resume faster, easier, and more accessible — especially when doing it repeatedly would otherwise become overwhelming.

Question 17

Will Anchor’s AI make things up about me?

Accepted Answer

No. Anchor is designed to improve how your experience is presented — not invent anything new. It can reframe your real skills and accomplishments to better match a job, but it cannot add tools you have never used, inflate your results, or make your role sound more senior than it was. Every rewrite is checked for unsupported claims, and you review each change before it becomes final. You remain in control, with the ability to accept, reject, edit, or undo any suggestion.

Question 18

If I tell Anchor I’m autistic or have ADHD, who can see that?

Accepted Answer

Only you. Your selections are never sold, shared with employers, or added to your resume, cover letters, applications, or other career materials. They are used only to personalize how Anchor looks and works for you. There is an additional permission you approve that allows Anchor to use your neurodiversity type in your rankings for how well a job fits you. That permission can be turned off at any time in Settings.

Question 19

How can Anchor help me when I struggle to start the application, even when I want the job?

Accepted Answer

Anchor removes the blank page and gives you one clear next step at a time. Instead of asking you to manage the entire application at once, it breaks the process into smaller, more manageable actions — from saving the job and checking the fit to tailoring your resume and preparing to apply. Your progress saves automatically, so you can step away without losing your work or having to start over. When you return, Anchor picks up where you left off — without guilt, pressure, or punishment. Wanting the job is not the problem. Anchor helps make starting easier.

Question 20

Is Anchor a gamified job search app?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but without the pressure that often comes with gamification. In Anchor, actions such as saving a job, tailoring a resume, submitting an application, or preparing for an interview earn stars. Over time, those stars connect into constellations that reflect the effort and progress you have made. There are no streaks to protect, leaderboards to compete on, or penalties for taking a break. Your progress never disappears. Anchor rewards the actions you can control — not just whether an employer says yes. It is a game designed so you cannot lose.

Question 21

What happens if I get rejected?

Accepted Answer

A rejection changes the status of an application. It does not erase the work you did to get there. Anchor rewards the actions you can control — saving the job, tailoring your resume, applying, and preparing for the interview. Every step earns a star, and those stars never expire or disappear, even when the answer is no. Rejection is a common part of the journey, not the end of it. Keep going. The right opportunity is still ahead.

Question 22

Should I tell employers I’m neurodivergent?

Accepted Answer

That decision is entirely yours. Anchor will never disclose it. Nothing in Anchor reveals your diagnosis, identity, or accessibility preferences to an employer. Your neurodivergence will not appear in your resume, cover letter, application, or any materials you send unless you personally add it. Whether, when, and how to disclose is a personal decision. It may depend on your circumstances, workplace needs, and whether you are requesting accommodations. For individualized guidance, consider consulting the Job Accommodation Network (askjan.org) or a qualified employment professional.

Question 23

Do you offer human coaching too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anchor offers human support at two levels. Anchor Pro includes live group coaching calls led by experienced coaches, along with access to the private Anchor career community for guidance, accountability, and support throughout the job journey. For more personalized help, Anchor’s parent company offers separate one-on-one coaching for neurodivergent adults in areas such as career development, executive functioning, independence, and life-launch support.
