## Why dresume?
You probably have five versions of your resume: backend, frontend, English, Portuguese, "the one-page one".
Fixing a typo or changing the font means opening every file. dresume fixes that.
| 🎨 One template, many resumes | Change the layout once and every linked resume follows. |
| ✍️ Edit content, not layout | Friendly forms: sections, drag to reorder, bullets and tags. No code required. |
| 👀 Live preview | See the real result while you type. Export to PDF in one click. |
| 🧑‍💻 Code when you want it | Templates are plain Typst, with a built-in editor, highlighting and inline errors. |
| 🤖 AI-friendly | Plain files, a CLI with JSON output and a guide for agents. Ask an AI to tailor a resume or design a template. |
| 📁 Your files, your folder | No account and no cloud. It's a folder, so use git, Dropbox, anything. |
| 🌗 Make it yours | Themes (light & dark), accent color, fonts. English and Portuguese. |
## A quick tour
Your workspace. Templates and the resumes that use them, at a glance.
Template editor. Typst with highlighting and a live preview.
Start fast. New templates from scratch, from Basic, or from a copy.
Make it yours. Six themes, any accent color, two languages.
## How it works
my-resumes/
├── profile.yaml ← your name, email and links, written once
├── templates/
│ └── basic/ ← the layout (Typst) + which fields it accepts
└── resumes/
├── backend-en.yaml ← just content, linked to a template
└── frontend-pt.yaml
That's it. Content goes in resumes/, looks go in templates/.
## Templates
Every new workspace comes with Basic, which works out of the box. Create your own from scratch, copy an
existing one, or ask an AI to make one for you.

Then click New workspace, pick a folder, and start editing my-resume.
