Resumecraft features
🎨 7 bundled templates
Classic, Modern, Minimal, Executive, Compact, Tech and Elegant — swap any time without losing a word of your data.
🤖 ATS-safe mode
One toggle strips columns, colors and decoration into a plain single-column layout that applicant tracking systems parse cleanly.
📋 Plain-text portal export
Export or copy a clean text version for pasting into Workday and Greenhouse-style job portal forms.
🖨️ Real PDF export
Headless Chromium print to US Letter, with a live one-page overflow warning in the preview so you know before you export.
✍️ Structured sections
Contact, summary, experience with reorderable bullets, education, skills, projects and unlimited custom sections.
🗂️ Versions and duplicates
Keep multiple resumes, duplicate one per job application and tailor it, rename or delete freely.
🔒 Local-first storage
Everything lives in a human-readable JSON file on your machine — no account, no cloud, no network calls.
$19 once — that's the whole pricing page
Zety charges $23.70/mo — roughly $284 a year, every year. Resumecraft is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
Or get Resumecraft inside the full suite — every app in the catalog, currently $97 for the bundle. See the bundle →

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Resumecraft is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/resume-builder-mvp. The $19 buys the signed Windows installer and 1-click setup; building from source is free.
Does my resume data get uploaded?
Never. Resumecraft makes no network calls at all — your resumes live in a human-readable resumes.json under your OS app-data folder for you to back up yourself.
Does it do everything Zety does?
It builds, tailors and exports resumes locally with ATS-safe mode. What it does not do is charge you $23.70 every month to download your own PDF.
