Resuma is a free, open-source desktop resume builder that runs AI models locally. It supports 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, Apple Silicon macOS and modern 64-bit Linux. During setup, you download models and runtimes; afterward, the features work offline. Resuma uses Qwen3 models from 0.6B to 32B through llama.cpp and supports CPU, CUDA, HIP and Vulkan hardware backends. You can edit personal details, education, projects, skills and other entries, then use job descriptions to improve or shorten sections, match keywords and prepare ATS-friendly formatting. Job-description matching, advanced search and filtering help organize content. Dynamic PDF generation includes preview, page splitting and layout adjustments, with PDF as the download format. Resume content, settings, models and runtime binaries remain local unless you explicitly share them. The project says it collects no analytics and is licensed under GNU GPLv3.
