The fine print

A few rules came first, and they never moved. The AI never scores you; code does, from the text that actually renders. Nothing gets invented, since every rewrite is checked against your experience bank, and your master resume never changes unless you save to it. The PDF even gets read back and rescored after export, so “ATS-readable” is something Gliide checks, not something it claims. There's no telemetry either: nothing about you or your usage ever gets sent back to me.

The look

I called the design system Paper & Ink: warm paper, graphite text, and one cobalt accent. The resume is the only thing with real depth, like a sheet on a desk, while everything around it stays flat and fast, like a native Mac tool. Colors only show up when they mean something: green for points gained, and amber for what got left out and why. Light and dark themes are both included.

The engine

Gliide runs on a Rust core with a Svelte front end, built with Tauri 2. Typst is built in as a library, so your page recompiles in about 8 ms after an edit, with the same line breaks on every machine. There are no API keys: every model call goes through the agent you already sign in to, whether that's Claude Code, Codex, or Antigravity, on your own subscription. The model work is split in two, reading the posting once and then streaming edits, so your first score shows up in seconds instead of minutes. Settings even shows what your model calls cost, by day, feature, and model.

The snags

Early tests showed edits that read keyword-stuffed or played it too safe, plus summaries getting cut to fit the page, which I'm still tuning. The format check also wasn't reading the real PDF at first, so I wrote an extractor that catches things like a skill broken across a hyphen. Before going public, I rebuilt the repo from a clean history, because old commits still had real job postings in them.

The road ahead

Gliide is open source, signed, and notarized for Macs with Apple Silicon. It's currently on version 0.7.1 and updates itself right in the app. Beyond tailoring, it now has a daily job feed that pulls from boards like Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, plus cover letters, application tracking, and interview prep with practice, nudges, and debriefs. Windows and iOS are up next on the same Rust core. Feel free to check out the source on GitHub!
