What Cover Me is
Cover Me is a browser extension and web app for preparing job applications. It generates cover letters tailored to specific postings and rewrites resumes around the posting’s ATS keywords. The extension can read listings on LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and Ashby, while other pages can be handled by pasting the text. ATS analysis scores a tailored resume, shows matching requirements and skill gaps, and allows another tailoring pass. Uploaded PDF or DOCX text is extracted on-device, and the raw file is not stored or transmitted. BYOK mode keeps resumes, API keys, and application history in encrypted local storage without an account or data sent to Cover Me. Hosted resumes and Pro letters use AES-256-GCM encryption, with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit. The free plan provides five hosted generations daily; BYOK is unlimited with your own key. Pro costs $8 a month.
