Upwork Job Alerts for Faster Freelance Applications
Get real-time Upwork job alerts when new gigs match your skills, keywords, and filters.
UpCat helps freelancers find relevant Upwork jobs earlier, without refreshing saved searches all day. Set your alert preferences, receive job notifications, and move from discovery to proposal faster with AI-assisted cover letter drafts.
The Problem
Stop Refreshing Upwork Manually
Good freelance jobs can receive proposals quickly. If you only check Upwork a few times a day, you may miss strong opportunities or find them after the client already has many options.
UpCat gives you Upwork alerts for jobs that match your saved criteria, so you can review new gigs sooner and decide whether they are worth applying to.
With UpCat, you can:
- Get alerts for matching Upwork jobs
- Track gigs by keyword, skill, and category
- Reduce time spent checking saved searches
- Review new jobs faster from your browser
- Pair alerts with AI proposal drafts
Chrome Extension
Built for Upwork Job Notifications
UpCat works as an Upwork job alert Chrome extension for freelancers who want faster visibility into relevant jobs. Instead of waiting until you remember to check your feed, UpCat helps bring matching opportunities to you.
Real-time notifications
Alerts arrive when matching jobs are posted, not when you remember to check.
Keyword & skill filters
Track only the gigs that fit your work — by category, skill, or specific keywords.
Paired with AI drafts
Open a matching job and generate an editable proposal draft from the same extension.

Why It Matters
Why Real-Time Alerts Matter
Timing is only one part of winning freelance work, but it can change your workflow. Earlier job discovery gives you more time to review the client, understand the project, and write a thoughtful proposal before the post becomes crowded.
UpCat is designed to help you avoid two common problems.
UpCat helps by:
- Sending alerts when matching jobs appear — not after you remember to check
- Bringing relevant job notifications to your browser — no manual feed refresh
- Letting you filter by keywords, skills, and categories — fewer poor-fit applications
- Pairing alerts with AI cover letter drafts — less time from discovery to proposal
One Workflow
