One resume.Every job.One click.
PocketResume is a free Chrome extension that tailors your resume to any job description in one click. Paste your master resume once: your experience, their keywords, a clean PDF in seconds.
One paste. Every posting covered.
Every posting asks for a slightly different version of you. The tailored one. Sending the same resume to all of them is why the phone stays quiet too.
Sound familiar?
Job hunting has a busywork problem, and you’re doing all of it.
The ATS black hole
Software reads your resume before any human does. If the words don't mirror the posting, a perfectly qualified you never reaches the recruiter's screen — and you never find out why.
The rewrite spiral
Find a role you love. Spend an evening rewording bullets against the job description. Find another one tomorrow. Repeat until the enthusiasm for the search itself is gone.
Cover-letter dread
Nobody wants to write them. Every posting asks anyway, so most people send a template with the company name swapped. Recruiters can tell.
Retyping your life story
Every application makes you re-enter the same work history and answer the same essay questions, from scratch, in six different text boxes, for the fortieth time.
Fear of AI slop
Generic AI tools invent seniority, employers and metrics you don't have. Recruiters smell it instantly. What you need is emphasis, not fiction.

Present to stakeholders weekly
Scroll-driven animation: a job description document appears, its key skills lift out and travel across the stage, a master resume slides in, the two are merged by AI, and a tailored green resume emerges.
How it works
From posting to PDF before your coffee cools.
Paste your resume once
Drop your master resume into PocketResume. Extract JSON turns even messy freeform text into a clean, structured profile — and a guided tour walks you through setup in under a minute.
Open any job posting
LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, a company careers page. Click the extension icon, pick one of four layouts, toggle a cover letter if you want one.
Hit Generate. Move on.
A resume rewritten for that exact posting, built only from your real experience, downloads as a print-ready PDF. Run Check ATS for an instant score, and let the form filler handle the application questions.
No dashboard to babysit. No uploads to someone else’s cloud. The whole loop happens inside your browser.
What you get
Everything the tedious part of job hunting asks of you, done.
Four layouts, four strategies
Professional for tradition, FAANG for metrics-forward impact, Deedy for dense two-column density, Academic CV for full publication history. Choose per application, not per install.
Your AI, your key, your cost
Gemini 2.5 Flash, GPT-4o-mini, Claude 3.5 Haiku, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — including Ollama and LM Studio running fully offline, for free.
New
Check ATS before they do
One click scores your resume's ATS-readiness with an animated gauge, lists the critical issues that trip real ATS parsers, and suggests a fix for each. Perfect score? It still flags the items only a human can verify.
New
Refine with before/after scores
AI polishes your master resume after asking a few grounded questions — company problem, team size, scale — then shows before/after ATS scores and a change summary, side by side, before you commit.
Cover letters without dread
Flip one toggle and every generation includes a matching single-page cover letter written for that specific posting.
PDFs that download themselves
Print-ready output in every layout, generated locally and saved automatically. No screenshot-to-PDF gymnastics, no formatting cleanup.
Extract JSON from anything
Paste a messy freeform resume, an old export, LinkedIn text — whatever — and PocketResume converts it into a structured profile on the spot.
Three profiles, three targets
Keep separate master resumes for the roles you're actually chasing — engineering lead vs. IC specialist, say — and switch between them instantly.
Never retype your life story into a form again
PocketResume reads the application form right off the page, cross-checks every field against your master resume, and answers essay questions in your voice. You review everything, you hit submit.
New · Application form filler
The application form fills itself. You just check it.
Every posting makes you retype the same work history and answer the same essay questions. PocketResume fills them in from the profile you already saved — in your voice, backed only by your resume — so the form is done before you’ve started typing.
It reads the form first
Open any application page and PocketResume maps the fields and questions right off the page. Work history, contact details, screening questions — all of them.
Your resume is the only source of facts
Every answer is pulled from your master profile, never invented. Essay questions get drafted in your voice: first person, plain words, no AI tells. Anything your profile can't back up gets flagged, not guessed.
You review, you submit
PocketResume never submits or overwrites anything. The filled form comes back to you for a final look. Change anything you want, then hit submit yourself. Your name on it, your call.
