A tool to tailor a LaTeX resume to any job description and compile a submission-ready PDF.

A local web app, also usable as a Chrome extension, that lets you tailor every section of your LaTeX resume for a specific job and compile straight to a submission-ready PDF, using the exact same fonts and layout as your original resume. It removes the usual pain of manually commenting LaTeX in and out for each application.

Features

  • Toggle anything with checkboxes across all six sections (Education, Skills, Experience, Projects, Publications, Achievements). Skills toggle per individual skill, and Experience and Projects toggle both per entry and per bullet.
  • Bring back commented-out content: each section surfaces the entries you previously commented out of your LaTeX, so you can re-enable an old project or extra skill with a single tick.
  • Rich editing: add new entries with rich-text formatting and drag to reorder them.
  • Optional LLM assist: paste a job description and let an LLM pre-select the most relevant content for that role.
  • Safe by design: your original base.tex is never modified; all output is written to a separate folder, so you can regenerate freely.
