About

Appliqué

Read full description

Appliqué helps you apply faster and smarter. Point it at a job posting and it grades how well the role fits your real experience — then writes a tailored résumé and cover letter grounded only in your history. No invented facts, no generic filler. HOW IT WORKS 1. Analyze a job. Paste a link or the description and get a recruiter-style match grade, the gaps, missing keywords, and red flags worth addressing. 2. Add context & sections. Add any direction and choose which résumé sections to include. 3. Review & edit. Read the tailored résumé and cover letter, edit anything, and see the new match score. 4. Save & export. Save ATS-friendly PDFs and editable Word (.docx) files — shareable anywhere. GROUNDED IN YOUR EXPERIENCE You build a private knowledge base from your own materials — résumé, cover letters, writing samples. Every claim in your tailored documents comes from it. Appliqué also learns your writing voice so your cover letter sounds like you wrote it. ATS-FRIENDLY OUTPUT Clean, single-column documents that applicant-tracking systems parse correctly, with your choice of fonts — plus editable .docx copies. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Appliqué runs on your device. No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your API key is stored only in your device Keychain. Saved applications can back up to your private iCloud Drive and sync across your devices. BRING YOUR OWN KEY Appliqué writes with Anthropic's Claude using your own Anthropic API key — usage is billed pay-as-you-go to your Anthropic account (a typical tailored application costs a few cents). You'll need a key from console.anthropic.com to use the app. Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Appliqué is not affiliated with Anthropic. "Claude" is a trademark of Anthropic.
