About Reactive Resume
Reactive Resume is a resume builder for writing resumes and cover letters, checking them, and tracking job applications. A user can start a free account, import an existing resume or begin from scratch, and see the finished page while writing. Resumes can be downloaded as PDF, Word, Markdown, or JSON files, or shared through a public link. The tool also includes readability checks, job-posting keyword matching, and a public ATS checker that reads PDFs in the browser without an account.
The codebase is open source under the MIT license, and the project states that it has no tracking, no ads, and no paid tier. The application can also be run on the user's own infrastructure. Optional AI features require a provider the user connects, and hosting and provider usage may have their own costs. Keyword search for saved jobs is optional and uses external services (Firecrawl, Tavily, or Exa). The project describes itself as privacy-conscious, but the source does not establish how data is handled once optional AI or external services are used.
