Open-source resume builder

Reactive Resume is an open-source resume builder. Its source code is public on GitHub under the MIT license. You can use the hosted app at rxresu.me, read exactly how it handles your data, or run your own copy.

​

What open source means here

• Everything is in the open. The editor, the PDF renderer, the API, the MCP server and these docs all live in one public repository.
• The MIT license is permissive. You can use, modify and host the software, including for an organization, as long as you keep the license notice.
• The hosted app runs the same code. There is no closed “pro” edition. Features on rxresu.me are the features in the repository.
• Your data is portable. Download any resume as JSON, or export all your documents and applications as a zip from Settings → Account. A resume’s JSON file imports into any other Reactive Resume instance.

​

What the software includes

Reactive Resume v6 is more than a resume editor. It covers the whole job search:

• Resumes and cover letters as separate documents, with 17 templates and shared design.
• Check mode for readability, issues and job-posting keywords, plus a public ATS checker.
• Public links with passwords and view statistics.
• An application tracker with board, list, calendar and insights views.
• An optional AI assistant that uses your own provider.
• An API and an MCP server for automation.
• An interface translated into more than 50 languages by volunteers.

When to use this path

Start from the source if you want to audit how resume data is stored and exported, fix a bug, add a translation, or run the app yourself. If you only want to write a resume, use rxresu.me and follow the Quickstart instead. Open source does not make a deployment compliant on its own. If you run an instance, you are responsible for its security, storage and privacy.
