About Resume Matcher
Resume Matcher is a free, open source AI resume tailoring tool that users download and run on their own machine. The workflow centers on a master resume: a user uploads a PDF or Word file, or builds one with a wizard, then pastes a job description and the AI proposes targeted edits that emphasize what the posting asks for.
Every proposed change appears as a before and after comparison, and nothing is saved until the user confirms it. The site states that tailoring rewords existing facts rather than inventing new ones. A match view highlights job description keywords already present in the resume and reports a match rate, while a builder with a live paginated preview lets users edit each section, choose a template and download the PDF. Additional features include cover letter generation and a Kanban style tracker that adds a card for each tailored resume the user confirms.
The tool is built for software engineers and similar technical roles. It runs locally with Ollama or with a cloud provider using the user's own API key, so resume data stays on the user's computer unless a cloud model is chosen. The software is free and the vendor does not publish any paid plans or prices. The code is available on GitHub.
