Reactive Resume
A free, open-source resume builder
Reactive Resume is a free, open-source resume builder that covers writing, designing, checking and tailoring resumes in one place. It includes an editor with live preview and version history, 17 templates with adjustable type, color and spacing, an ATS checker that runs in the browser, and a job tailoring workflow that produces a tailored resume copy, match score, cover letter draft and application tracker. Resumes can be shared via a public link with optional password protection, or kept private, and exported to PDF, Word, Markdown and JSON. Import options include PDF, LinkedIn data export, JSON Resume and Reactive Resume exports, with Word import available when an AI provider is configured.
AI features are optional and use your own key from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter or Ollama; without a key, no AI service is contacted. The app is translated into 54 languages and supports right-to-left scripts. It is available as a hosted service or as a Docker image for self-hosting under the MIT License. There are no paid tiers, ads or tracking; hosting and development are funded by donations.
