A local-first desktop app for your career

One file.
A case for every role.

Dossier turns everything you've shipped into one evidence-backed record — then tailors a Case for every role you chase. It runs on your machine, and your Dossier stays yours — local-first by default.

In the file

A résumé flattens.
A dossier remembers.

One page can't hold a career, so it crops it — you trim the proof, guess at keywords, and rewrite the same story for every role. Dossier keeps the whole record once, and re-surfaces what fits.

The one-pager

Rewritten every time

  • A new role means another late night reshuffling bullets to fit a page.
  • "Improved performance" — the metric and the context never make it in.
  • A keyword filter reads it first, so you write for the machine.
The Dossier

Grown once, re-surfaced

  • Every role becomes a Case drawn from the same dossier — never rewritten.
  • Each skill traces back to a confirmable moment — proof, not adjectives.
  • Coverage tells you how well you fit before you ever apply.

Assemble the file once. Open it for every role.

A Case is a résumé tailored to one posting, drawn straight from your Dossier — never rewritten. Here's how one comes together.

Gather

Quill interviews you like a thoughtful colleague — drawing out projects, decisions and outcomes, and filing each as a Record in your Dossier as you talk.

Confirm

Quill proposes sharper wording as a clear before/after, grounded in what you said. You accept or reject each one. Confirmed claims carry proof — nothing is invented.

Tailor

Capture a posting and Dossier spins up a Case — surfacing the evidence that fits, scoring your coverage, and tracking it from applied to offer.

"I'll ask the questions a great mentor would — then keep the proof, so you never have to remember it under pressure."

Quill is the guide inside Dossier. It interviews you, then proposes sharper wording as a before/after you can accept or reject. It never invents achievements, and nothing is written to your Dossier until you say yes.

Never fabricates Evidence-first Remembers everything

Know where you stand — before you apply.

Dossier reads the skills your Cases ask for and ranks them by demand. One number tells you how ready you are; the breakdown tells you exactly what to confirm next.

What's inside

A quiet workshop for your career.

Local-first & private

Your Dossier lives on your machine — local-first by default. Your record is yours: never sold, never shared, never used to train a model.

Evidence, not adjectives

Every skill traces back to a confirmable moment — a shipped feature, a metric, a reference. Recruiters read proof, not buzzwords.

Readiness & coverage

Dossier reads across your Cases to show how ready you are — which wanted skills are evidenced, claimed, adjacent, or still a gap.

Track every application

Each role becomes a Case with a live status — applied, interviewing, offer — so you always know where every search stands and never lose a follow-up.

Capture from anywhere

Grab a posting from LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Indeed or any board with the browser extension — Dossier reconciles it and tells you if it's already in your file.

One source, every format

Your Dossier is the real artifact — evidence-backed and always current. When a role wants the usual formats, it produces them on demand from the same proof: cover letter, recruiter note, interview prep, even the résumé.

Private by design

Your record stays yours.

Local-first by default — your Dossier lives on your machine. Your career record is never sold, never shared, never used to train a model. Export it whenever you want; either way, it's yours.
