Open-source resume builder

Reactive Resume is an open-source resume builder. The source code is public, the license is MIT, and you can either use the hosted app or run your own instance.

​

What open source means here

The project repository is on GitHub. You can read the code, report issues, contribute improvements, and see how the builder, the API, the self-hosting setup, and the documentation are put together. The license is documented in License.

​

Product capabilities

Reactive Resume has a browser-based builder, resume templates, PDF export, public sharing links, API access, MCP support, and optional AI-assisted workflows. Public resume URLs are meant for the people you share them with and are not search-indexed by default. The main workflow starts in the hosted app at rxresu.me or on your own deployment. Helpful starting points:

• Introduction
• Quickstart
• Creating your first resume
• Managing resumes from the dashboard

​

When to use this path

Use the open-source path when you want to see how resume data and exports are handled, contribute fixes or translations, or keep the option of running your own deployment.

​

When not to use this path

Do not start with the source code if you only want to build a resume. Use rxresu.me or the Quickstart first. Do not assume open source covers your compliance needs on its own; if you run an instance, read the self-hosting and privacy docs.
