Resume Studio

One master CV across languages. Targeted PDF and Word exports for each audience.

Resume Studio is a small, self-hosted resume manager built for consultants who keep one CV up to date in several languages and need to produce different versions of it for different clients, tenders, or roles.

You edit your full master CV once — in any language you’ve added — and the app shows every translatable field side-by-side in two languages so translations never drift out of sync. When you need to send something out, you build a Resume View: pick the sections that matter to this audience, exclude the items that don’t, add a custom intro, and export to PDF, .docx, or ATS-friendly plain text / Markdown.

It runs as a local desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux — your data stays on your own machine. A multi-machine sync option uses a folder in Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive so the same set of CVs follows you between computers.

Who it’s for

• Independent consultants and contractors who pitch in several languages.
• Anyone tired of keeping three half-translated .docx files in sync.
• People who’d rather own the data file than upload their CV into a SaaS.

What makes it different

• Edit in two languages at once. Every field shows both languages on screen — no toggling, no “wait, did I update the English version?”.
• Resume Views, not duplicate documents. Build a Board-level CV, a deeply technical CV, and a one-pager from the same underlying data. Change a project once, all three export updated.
• Your data stays yours. No account, no cloud database. The app runs on your computer; an optional backup folder uses a cloud-sync service you already trust.
• Privacy-respecting translation assist. Optional draft translations run through a self-hosted LibreTranslate instance (or a key-based provider you choose). CV text only ever travels between your app and the provider you configured — there’s no Resume Studio backend.
• AI help that can stay on your machine. Point the app at a local model (it can run Ollama in Docker for you) and the AI features — one-line summaries, tailoring a view to a job posting, importing an old CV, skill suggestions — work without your CV leaving the computer. A cloud model is your choice too; the app always tells you which one you’re on before it sends anything.
