What does PocketResume do?

PocketResume is a Chrome extension that turns your master profile into a clean, ATS-friendly resume. The generation engine runs on your device. You can optionally add a job description to bias keyword emphasis, run Resume Health Check for specific fixes, add a general cover letter, and sync resumes across devices.

Is PocketResume free?

Yes, through December 31, 2026. Create a free account and use every feature with no card required. After that, PocketResume is $4/month or $47/year. The promo does not auto-charge you: you subscribe manually if you want to keep using it.

Why did my resume generations fail before?

Earlier versions relied on free cloud inference. When that quota ran out, generation requests failed and people could not export a resume. That was our fault, and it cost users applications. Version 10.7.0 removes that dependency completely: the engine runs on your device, so there are no credits or API limits to exhaust. We are sorry for the lost time.

Do I need an API key or credits?

No. There are no API keys, credits, tokens, or per-generation costs. The resume engine runs locally on your device, and every feature is included in the one plan.

Does PocketResume tailor my resume to a job posting?

It builds the resume from your master profile. If you paste a job description, that is optional: PocketResume uses it as a keyword bias so the most relevant experience is emphasized. It does not invent employers, titles, metrics, or skills.

What is Resume Health Check?

Resume Health Check is a bullet-and-format audit. It scores whether bullets start with action verbs, include metrics, stay concise and readable, and avoid weak phrasing. It also checks basic structure: contact details, sections, dates, and overall length. Every issue comes with a specific fix.

What happened to ATS Check and Refine Resume?

Resume Health Check replaces both. It combines the useful part of the old ATS score with practical bullet-level feedback, so you get fewer abstract warnings and more edits you can apply immediately.

What happened to the form filler?

It was removed in version 10.7.0. PocketResume is now focused on resume generation, Resume Health Check, cover letters, resume sync, and the Job Tracker. It does not fill or submit application forms.

Do I need an account?

Yes. A free PocketResume account is required to use the extension and sync your resumes. During the promo, no card is required. Sign-in also keeps your profiles available across devices.

Where is my resume data stored?

Resume generation happens on your device. Your master profiles and generated resumes sync to your PocketResume account so they follow you across devices. The extension is open source under the MIT license, so you can audit how data is handled.

Does resume sync work across devices?

Yes. When you are signed in, your master profiles and resumes sync across devices. Resume sync is included in the one plan, along with every other feature.

What resume templates are included?

Three: Professional (clean and traditional), Double sided (dense two-column, one page), and Academic CV (full publication history). The FAANG layout was removed in 10.7.0. Every template exports as a clean, print-ready PDF.

Does PocketResume have a job tracker?

Yes. The Job Tracker is included in the one plan. It gives you a kanban board and pipeline view for applications, so you can move roles from applied to interview to offer.

Does PocketResume work with LinkedIn and Indeed?

Yes. PocketResume works on any job posting you can open in your browser, including LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and company careers pages. It is a Chrome extension, so it also runs in other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave, and Arc.

Is PocketResume open source?

Yes. The extension source is public under the MIT license. You can read the code, report bugs, and verify how resume generation and sync work.

How do cover letters work?

Each resume can have one general cover letter. You can write it yourself or let PocketResume generate it from your profile, then edit it. It is not rewritten per posting, so you stay in control of the final wording.

How many people use PocketResume?

4,000+ job seekers have used PocketResume as of October 2026. That is a cumulative count, not a weekly active-user claim. The product is free to try until December 31, 2026.

What it costs during the promo

Nothing. Create a free account and use every feature. No card is required, and there is no usage meter. The promo exists to bring back people who were burned by the old failed generations and to let new users test the rebuilt engine.

What happens on January 1

PocketResume moves to $4/month or $47/year for one plan with every feature. You subscribe manually when you are ready. The free promo does not convert into an automatic charge, because we never ask for a card during the promo.

Why not just say free forever

Because that is how the last promise broke. The product has real costs, and pretending otherwise is what led to a free inference pool running dry while users were mid-application. A clear end date is a better deal than a vague promise that fails later.

If you want the full feature list, see the pricing page. If you want the story behind the change, read the postmortem.
