Reactive Resume is a privacy-focused resume builder. Your documents are private until you choose to share them, AI only runs when you connect your own provider, and the code is open source, so you can check these claims yourself or run your own instance.
Private by default#
- Documents stay in your account. Nobody else can see your resumes or cover letters. A resume becomes visible only when you publish it in Share. Cover letters have no public link.
- Search engines are your choice. Web pages ask search engines not to list them unless you turn on Show in search engines for that resume.
- Contact details can stay hidden. Hide your email, phone and location from the page, its PDF and search results.
- Links can require a password. Add one in Share, and turn the link off at any time to stop access immediately.
- Private notes stay private. Notes you keep on a resume never appear on the page, in the PDF or on the public link. Hidden sections and entries are removed from the public link too.
Checks that never leave your browser#
The public ATS checker reads your PDF in your browser. The file is not uploaded and you do not need an account. In the editor, Check mode’s score, issues and job match also run without sending your resume to an AI service.
AI only on your terms#
Reactive Resume does not include a built-in AI model. AI features run only after you connect a provider of your choice in Settings → AI, using your own key, and your text goes only to that provider when you use an AI feature. Without a provider, PDF imports are read in your browser. Remove the key at any time to turn AI off.
Account security and your data#
Protect your account with two-factor authentication or passkeys. You can export all your data as a zip at any time, and deleting your account permanently removes your documents and applications.
Full control with self-hosting#
If you need to decide where data is stored, who can sign in and which services it talks to, run your own instance. The source is on GitHub, and self-hosted instances can use your own database, file storage, email server and single sign-on provider.
The hosted service at rxresu.me is covered by its Privacy Policy. If you self-host, you are responsible for how your deployment stores and handles data.
