Most CV advice out there is completely generic. People normally give vague advice but that doesn't help when you're trying to figure out why your specific experience isn't landing a callback for a specific role.
So, I built Aplix (https://aplix.online).
Instead of giving you a generic template score, it does this: You upload your CV as a PDF and paste the actual job description you're applying for. It gives you a Match Score (0-100) based on 5 weighted categories: Technical Skills, Experience Relevance, Impact Metrics, ATS Compatibility, and Formatting
It reads your CV line-by-line and flags exactly where you fall short against that specific job description. The biggest problem I wanted to solve was the "how do I fix it?" part. Aplix doesn't just say "add metrics here twin", it flags a weak line and gives you a copy and paste rewrite. For example, it will flag "Improved API performance" and suggest replacing it with “Reduced API p99 latency by 40% (850ms -> 510ms) by introducing Redis caching, handling 12k req/day.”
It also catches exact keyword gaps (required vs. nice to have) that ATS screens for before a human ever sees your application
As for privacy, I know trusting a third-party tool with your CV is a problem for most people especially with the huge amount of AI slop being created. The text is processed in real-time and is not stored
There is a completely free tier (no account nor credit card required) that gives you 3 analyses per day, your overall score, ATS keyword gaps, and quick wins. There's a Pro tier for heavy users that lets you export a docx with all suggestions baked in but the free tier is more than enough to see exactly why you aren't getting callbacks
If you're actively applying right now, drop your CV and a job description into it! I'd love to get some brutally honest feedback on the line-level rewrites so I can keep dialing in the scoring logic, thank you!
