Things people ask most.
No. Hyred runs entirely in your browser. There's no signup, no login, and no server holds your data. Everything you build is saved to local storage — you can export it as JSON any time.
Yes. Bring your own AI key — the free tiers on Groq and OpenRouter cover most usage. Open AI Settings in the Builder to paste your key. It lives in your browser's localStorage and is sent directly to the provider you chose — no Hyred server in the middle.
100% free, MIT-licensed, open source. The only cost is the AI key you bring (free tiers cover ~99% of users). There's no Pro tier, no paywall, no account required. You can fork the repo and self-host the whole thing in 60 seconds.
Yes. The export uses semantic, single-column layouts with selectable text — exactly what ATS parsers need. We test against the most common ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Taleo).
Yes. On the Deploy page, you get a one-click flow for Vercel, Netlify, or static export to any host. The output is a self-contained Next.js site you fully own.
On the Builder page, drag a PDF into the import zone or click 'Import resume'. The parser uses pdf.js and AI extraction together — it handles the vast majority of resume layouts.
Please do — Hyred is MIT-licensed and lives on GitHub at github.com/Ritika8081/Hyred. Open an issue, send a PR, or fork it for your own thing. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the recipe to add a new AI tool in 5 steps.
Everything lives in your browser's localStorage, so as long as you don't clear browser data, it's safe. Use Export JSON in Quick Actions to download a backup any time. To restore on a new device, use Import JSON.

Stuck?
Quick fixes
Check that your API key is pasted in Settings (Builder → AI Settings). Free tiers on Groq and OpenRouter work out of the box. If you see a quota error, switch providers in Settings.
Highly stylized resume layouts (graphics, columns, headers in images) can confuse the parser. Try pasting the text directly into the resume importer, or import section by section.
Preview is for the web portfolio (recruiters click links). PDF is the ATS-optimized version (recruiters' filtering software reads it). They're built from the same data but styled separately on purpose.
Run `npm run clean && npm run dev`. This happens when production and dev caches mix in .next/.
Your data, your browser.
Everything you build is stored in localStorage. No account, no server, no tracking. Use Export JSON in the Builder to back up any time.
