@@ features @@
Everything between paste and send.
Edit the document, not a form
The inline editor is the resume. Click any line on the rendered page and type; what you see on screen is exactly what exports to PDF.
An editor you can talk to
Ask the built-in assistant to rewrite a bullet, tighten your summary, or map the job's keywords onto your experience. It runs client-side through whichever provider you picked.
Sounds like you, not like a model
Spearheaded, leveraged, orchestrated, utilized, championed. Humanize hunts down the verbs that give an AI-written resume away, proposes a rewrite for each line, and waits for you to approve it. Nothing gets swapped without your say.
Your keys. Your machine. Your choice of AI.
Bring an API key for any major provider, or point the app at a local Ollama model and skip keys entirely. Every AI call runs client-side and keys sit in encrypted local storage.

@@ fit check @@
Know if you're a fit, before you apply.
No algorithm scores your resume. Fit Check reads it against the job the way a hiring manager would, then says plainly whether you're a strong fit, a stretch, a reach, or a mismatch.
The verdict. Strong, stretch, reach, or mismatch. A straight answer on whether to apply, not a percentage.
Knockout risks. Work authorization, a required license, a location you can't work from — the things that end an application outright, rated by how likely each one is.
Gaps, then strengths. Missing experience, a seniority stretch, a domain mismatch, each with a next step. It closes with what you can actually back up.
@@ deep analysis @@
Then fix what's fixable.
Fit Check answers whether to apply. Deep Analysis goes at the document itself, and every finding it returns points at the exact line that caused it.

Grammar, tense, punctuation

"Improved performance," with no number behind it

duplication
The same win claimed in two places

A line your base profile doesn't back up

Your latest title against the one they posted
The deterministic checks need no AI call and apply themselves. The rest arrive as a suggested rewrite, sitting on the line it replaces, waiting for you to take it or leave it.
@@ market conventions @@
Written for the market you're applying into.
A German Lebenslauf and a US résumé disagree about length, pronouns, photos, and how you state a language level. Udaan reads where the job is and follows that market's rules.

ProficiencyBars, dots, five starsWords only
TimelineGaps left unexplainedEvery gap accounted for
PhotoNeverIf the ad asks for one
Your resume stays in whatever language you wrote it in. Only the conventions change, so an English CV aimed at Berlin reads as a Lebenslauf without being translated into one. There's a Euro Sidebar template and an Anschreiben cover-letter style to match.
@@ cover letters @@
A cover letter that read the job post.
Generated from the same job and profile as the resume, with a tone and style you pick instead of the one paragraph everyone else pastes in.
@@ mcp server @@
Or drive it from Claude Desktop.
Udaan also runs as an MCP server, so Claude Desktop or any MCP host can parse jobs, tailor resumes, and export files on the subscription you already pay for. No separate API key. Edits to your base profile go through a diff you approve first, so a model driving the app can't quietly rewrite your history.

@@ how it works @@
From job post to sent.
- 01
Paste the job description
Your chosen model parses it client-side into structured requirements: skills, keywords, responsibilities.
- 02
Get a tailored draft
The app rewrites your base profile into a resume and cover letter aimed at that specific role.
- 03
Refine it your way
Chat with the assistant, "make this bullet about leadership," or click any line and edit it inline.
- 04
Export and track
Download the PDF or TXT, send it off, and move the application from Applied toward Offer.

Why not just paste it into ChatGPT?
You can, plenty of people do. Here's what that costs you against a purpose-built tool.

@@ faq @@
The questions you're actually asking.
Does the API key actually cost anything?
A few cents per resume with most providers, paid directly to them at their rates. Or skip keys entirely and run a local Ollama model for free.
Can it run fully offline?
Yes. Point it at a local Ollama model and every AI call happens on your machine, with no network request and no account.
Does my data ever leave my machine?
Only the text you send to whichever AI provider you chose, the same as pasting into ChatGPT. Your profile, jobs, and resumes live in a local SQLite database that Udaan never uploads.
Will an ATS actually parse the exported PDF?
Yes. The PDF export uses standard text layout instead of images or exotic fonts, which is what most ATS parsers choke on.
Will it write things I didn't actually do?
It rewrites your base profile rather than inventing one. Every AI edit is a suggested change you review before it's applied, so nothing exports without you seeing it first.
Why does my OS show a scary warning on first launch?
Udaan is self-signed rather than paid-publisher signed, so macOS and Windows show a one-time warning for any app outside their stores. See the note below the download button for the two-click fix.
