How it works
Factwright does the busywork of a job hunt with your Claude: the reading, the tailoring, the checking and the tracking. You make the calls.
Share your old resumes, your LinkedIn profile saved as a PDF, screenshots of your work, and everything you’d say about yourself in your own words. Then say what you’re after: titles, pay, where, the kinds of company, and your deal-breakers.
About 20 minutes, saved as you go, so you can stop any time.
Your Claude turns all of it into a fact bank: your experience as short, checkable claims, each marked unconfirmed. Then it interviews you, a few questions at a time, to confirm each one and fill the gaps.
Nothing goes on a resume until you’ve said it’s true.
Point it at Hacker News’s monthly “Who is hiring?” thread, a company’s job board or a careers page, or paste any posting. Every job gets scored against your facts, and a fit check adds what people say about working there.
A salary check estimates pay a posting hides, and an unmask finds the company behind a recruiter’s post.
Every job has a Run button for each task. Your own Claude Code does the work in a panel you can watch and type into, so you can always see what it’s doing. Keep working while it runs.
Resumes come out as PDF or Word in your templates, filling the pages you chose and fact-checked line by line. You send them yourself. Then track every status, call and interview, and see what needs you next.
Turn on sync to see it all on your phone.
The fact bank
Your fact bank holds what’s true about you: what you did, how far it got, and how to say it. Every resume line and answer is built from it, and before a resume is done, a second pass checks each line against it.

Run with your Claude
Factwright gives your Claude a skill for each task, grounded in your facts. Most start from a Run button on the job, and the results show up there as documents you can read.
Reads a hiring thread, a job board or a careers page, and ranks what fits your criteria.
Scores a job against your facts, from strong to skip, with what people say about it.
Finds the real company behind a recruiter’s post, and the direct way to apply.
Estimates the pay when a posting doesn’t say, with sources and how sure it is.
A resume for the job in your templates, with every line traced to a fact.
Answers to the form in your own voice, short and ready to paste.
Three to five people worth reaching, any warm path, and drafts you send yourself.
Likely questions answered from your facts, stories to tell, and questions to ask.
For anything else about your search, just ask: Claude’s panel is your own Claude Code.
Templates
Start with Classic or Minimal. Or show Factwright a resume whose look you like, and your own Claude makes a template in that look. Whatever the look, the words come from your facts, and every resume fills the pages you chose, with no half-empty last page.
Traditional and all serif, in black and white.
Quiet and airy, with gray headings and no color.
Its layout, fonts, colors and spacing, never its words. Private, on your computer.
Every resume comes as a PDF or a Word file. One-column looks read best in applicant systems.
Your Claude, your files
Factwright doesn’t have an AI of its own. It starts the Claude Code you installed and signed in to, unmodified, and hands it Factwright’s skills for that run only.
Factwright, your Claude Code, and your job hunt as plain files in a folder you own. Claude works only inside that folder, with no command line.
Claude Code talks to Anthropic under your own account, so runs count against your Claude plan or API key. Factwright never sees, stores or passes your login.
Turn on sync to see your hunt on your other computers and your phone. It’s encrypted before it leaves your computer, with a key we never see, so our servers store it only in a form they can’t read. It stays off until you turn it on.
Postings are untrusted text, so by default Claude asks before it opens a web page. Boards on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Gem are read without asking.
Share LinkedIn’s own PDF or data export instead, and your account stays out of it.
Factwright drafts and you decide. It never applies or messages anyone for you.
Your files are plain text, PDF and Word. With sync on, download it all as a ZIP.
Open source
Factwright is fully open source: all of its code is under the AGPL-3.0. So you don’t have to take our word for what it does with your job hunt: you, or anyone you trust, can read every line.

Questions
A Mac or a Windows PC, and Claude Code signed in with your Claude plan or an API key. Factwright checks your setup when it opens and walks you through anything that’s missing.
Factwright is free. The work Claude does counts against your own Claude plan or API key. If it helps your job hunt, you can buy its maker a coffee, but you never have to.
No. It starts the Claude Code you installed, as it is, and never reads, stores or passes your login. If you’re signed out, it tells you how to sign in yourself.
Only you and your own Claude. Your fact bank, resumes and documents are plain files on your computer, and Claude Code reads them under your own Anthropic account when it works on them. If you turn on sync, they’re encrypted on your computer before they leave it, so our servers keep your job hunt only in a form they can’t read. On your phone, it opens in your browser with code our server sends, as our privacy policy explains.
Yes. All of its code is open, under the AGPL-3.0: the app, the skills your Claude gets, the web view and the sync server. It’s on GitHub, along with how its encryption works.
It’s built not to. Claims stay unconfirmed until you check them, resumes and answers use only confirmed facts, and every resume gets a second pass that checks each line against your fact bank. When a job asks for something you haven’t done, Claude asks you instead of guessing, and remembers your answer.
No. Factwright gets everything ready: the resume, the answers, the messages. You read them, change what you like, and send them yourself.
No. Before a call or an interview, it writes you a prep sheet: likely questions, answered from your facts, and the stories worth telling. In the interview itself, it’s all you.
Yes. Show Factwright a resume whose look you like, as a PDF or a picture (PNG, JPEG or WebP), and your own Claude makes a template in that look: the layout, fonts, colors and spacing, never the words. You see it printed, with your name on it, before you pick it, and it stays private, on your computer. Save a Word file as a PDF first. A template another Factwright user shares with you can be imported too. A template changes how your resume looks, never what it says: apart from its section headings, every word comes from your facts.
Hacker News’s monthly “Who is hiring?” thread, company job boards on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Gem, careers pages, and public listings such as Y Combinator’s Work at a Startup and Wellfound. You can also paste any posting, or add a job by hand.
Yes, without signing in. Save your profile with LinkedIn’s own “Save to PDF”, or download your data from LinkedIn. Factwright reads your profile and connections from it, so Claude can spot warm paths into a company.
No. Factwright is an independent app by Neatifai LLC, Steve Hillyer’s company, and isn’t affiliated with Anthropic. It works with your own Claude account.
Factwright is free and open source, for Mac and Windows.
