Dossier is a free GitHub repo, past 3,400 stars, that keeps your career in one profile and turns it into a tailored resume and cover letter for every job you apply to. It runs on your own computer.
Here's what it does, how to set it up, and the limits you should know first.
What it does
- Reads a job post you paste and shows how your profile matches it.
- Writes a tailored resume and cover letter using only facts from your profile.
- Shows anything the job asks for that you don't have as a gap. It never makes it up.
- Lets you refine each document in a chat and download it as a PDF.
- Can search for jobs once a day, score them and keep the best. It never sends or applies.
- Tracks every application on a board from draft to offer.
