Reactive Resume is a free and open-source resume builder. You write your resume on one side of the screen and see the finished page on the other, then download it as a PDF or share it with a link. There are no ads, no tracking and no paid tier.

## Who it's for
|
|
|
|
Reactive Resume is for anyone applying for jobs. You don't need design skills or an account with any other service.
|
|
The app is available in 55 languages, works on phones, tablets and computers, and has light and dark themes.
|
|
|
|
You can use it in two ways:
|
|
|
|
- **The hosted version at [rxresu.me](https://rxresu.me).** Create a free account and start writing. This is the
|
|
right choice for most people.
|
|
- **Your own copy.** Reactive Resume is open source under the MIT license, so you or your organization can run it on
|
|
your own server with Docker. Self-hosted copies have the same features as the hosted version.
|
|
|
|
## Your data
|
|
|
|
Your resumes belong to you. You can download any document as JSON and import it back later, export everything in your
|
|
account from **Settings**, and delete your account at any time. The source code is public on
|
|
[GitHub](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume), so anyone can check what the app does with your data.
