🚀 An open-source AI resume builder for tech job applications
Important
ResumeLM was sunset in October 2026.
- The hosted app at resumelm.ca shuts down on October 31, 2026. If you have an account, download any resumes you want to keep before then.
- Paid plans are closed and nobody will be charged again.
- The code stays here under AGPL-3.0. You are welcome to fork it, self-host it, and build on it (see Installation & Setup).
- This repository is archived and read-only, so there will be no further updates, and issues and pull requests are closed.
Thank you to everyone who used ResumeLM, starred the repo, and contributed. 🙏
Warning
Self-hosting with Docker or Helm? Earlier versions shipped Supabase's public demo JWT_SECRET, ANON_KEY, and SERVICE_ROLE_KEY as fallbacks (#90). Anyone who knows those values can forge admin tokens against your Supabase API. The fallbacks are removed and the stack now refuses to start without your own keys. If you deployed with the defaults, generate new ones with node scripts/generate-supabase-keys.mjs and rotate all three.
ResumeLM is open source and self-hostable, and supports your own AI provider keys. The hosted version at resumelm.ca and its Pro plan were sunset in October 2026.
