Key Features

!resume_matcher_features

Core Features

Master Resume: Create a comprehensive master resume to draw from your existing one.

!Job Description Input

Resume Builder

!Resume Builder

Paste in a job description and get AI-powered resume tailored for that specific role.

You can:

• Modify suggested content
• Add/remove sections
• Rearrange sections via drag-and-drop
• Choose from multiple resume templates

Cover Letter Generator

Generate tailored cover letters based on the job description and your resume.

!Cover Letter

Interview Preparation

Generate structured, resume-grounded interview prep for saved tailored resumes. Use the Builder's Interview Prep tab on demand, or enable automatic generation in Settings.

Tailoring Queue

Paste several job descriptions on the Tailoring Queue page and they are tailored from your master resume one after another in the background. Role, company and job ID are detected from the text without an AI call, and you can edit them. An optional cooldown between jobs (0 to 60 seconds) lowers the risk of hitting your provider's rate limits. Queued jobs are kept in the database and resume after a restart.

Resume Scoring & Keyword Highlighting

Analyze your resume against the job description with a match score, keyword highlighting, and suggestions for improvement.

How to Install

!Installation

For detailed setup instructions, see SETUP.md (English) or: Español, 简体中文, 日本語.

Prerequisites

| Tool | Version | Installation | |------|---------|--------------| | Python | 3.13+ | python.org | | Node.js | 24+ | nodejs.org | | uv | Latest | astral.sh/uv |

Quick Start

Fastest for MacOS, WSL and Ubuntu users:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/srbhr/Resume-Matcher.git
cd Resume-Matcher
Backend (Terminal 1)
cd apps/backend
cp .env.example .env        # Configure your AI provider
uv sync                      # Install dependencies
uv run app

Open and configure your AI provider in Settings.

Windows 11: see Windows 11 Setup for PowerShell commands.

Supported AI Providers

| Provider | Local/Cloud | Notes | |----------|-------------|-------| | Ollama | Local | Free, runs on your machine | | Claude subscription (via Claude Code) | Cloud (via local CLI) | Runs your installed claude CLI, so this app needs no API key and never sees or stores your Claude credentials, but prompts still go to Anthropic through your Claude Code login and count toward your plan's usage limits (Anthropic may draw them from usage credits instead). Anthropic does not officially support third-party apps using Claude Pro/Max subscriptions, so this may stop working if its policy changes; for guaranteed access, use the Anthropic provider with an API key. Set LLM_PROVIDER=claude_cli. Requires Claude Code installed and signed in (claude auth login); not available inside the Docker images. | | ChatGPT plan (Sign in with ChatGPT) | Cloud | Community-built. Uses OpenAI's official Sign in with ChatGPT for open-source apps (preview, may change) with ChatGPT Plus or Pro: choose ChatGPT plan in Settings and click Continue with ChatGPT; no API key needed. Requests go from your machine to OpenAI's Responses API and count toward your plan's limits (on Plus the five-hour limit is shared with your other apps; Pro has none). Sign in from a browser on the machine running the backend; the default Docker setup can't complete the sign-in (see SETUP.md). For guaranteed access, use the OpenAI provider with an API key. Set LLM_PROVIDER=chatgpt. | | OpenAI | Cloud | GPT-5 Nano, GPT-4o | | Anthropic | Cloud | Claude Haiku 4.5 | | Google Gemini | Cloud | Gemini 3 Flash | | OpenRouter | Cloud | Access to multiple models | | DeepSeek | Cloud | DeepSeek Chat | | Groq | Cloud | Llama 3.3 70B, GPT-OSS |
