What it does
Paste a posting and it rewrites your bullets toward that role, keeping every tailored version organised alongside the base resume in one dashboard, with ATS-friendly formatting and keyword coverage in mind. Open source and self-hostable; the free plan works with your own provider keys, and a $20/month tier bundles premium model access instead. Aimed at North American tech applications — the conventions differ from a Japanese rirekisho. AGPL-3.0.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

resume-lm FAQ
- Is resume-lm free?
- resume-lm itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use resume-lm?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does resume-lm work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use resume-lm commercially?
- The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
