built a tool that scores your CV instead of just saying "looks good!"

Solo dev, been building this for a few months on nights/weekends. got tired of how bad CV feedback usually is: either a friend skims it and says it looks great, or you pay $50/month for a tool that spits out a vague score with no real explanation.

cvcheck.app does one thing: paste a portfolio link or GitHub profile, or drop a PDF, no signup, and it scores your CV out of 100. tells you what a recruiter notices in the first 7 seconds, whether it survives an ATS parse, red flags ranked by how bad they actually are. paste a job description too and it matches your CV against that role and shows what keywords you're missing.

Free tier is the real score, not a teaser. €1.99 once, not a subscription (still don't get why every competitor here is $50/month), unlocks the full report: rewritten bullets, a cover letter, a clean rewrite ready to download.

Built with Next.js, Supabase, and Claude for the actual analysis. still early, mostly fixing things people find rather than shipping big new features. if anyone tries it at cvcheck.app, would rather hear "this part is wrong" than "cool idea."

I built a free AI CV checker because I kept getting rejected and had no idea why

My own job search stalled for a while last year. I'd send out applications, hear nothing back, and had no way to know what was actually wrong. Recruiters spend something like 7 seconds on a first pass, and nobody tells you what happens in those 7 seconds.

So I built a tool for that. You upload your CV and it scores it out of 100, checks whether it'll survive an ATS filter, and flags whatever's likely getting you auto-rejected. Recently added job matching too, so you can paste a job posting and see how well your CV actually fits it.

Built with Next.js and Claude for the analysis. Free tier, no signup, just drop in a PDF.

I'm still tweaking it based on what people say. If you've been job hunting recently, I'd genuinely like to know what you think.
