I built an ATS Resume Optimizer — got rejected 100s of times before this

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

Like many of you, I kept hearing the same frustration from job seekers:

“I’m applying everywhere… but getting zero responses.”

The problem isn’t always skill — it’s ATS filters silently rejecting resumes.

So I built ATS Copilot — a focused, no-BS tool to help resumes actually pass screening systems.

💡 What ATS Copilot does

• ✅ ATS Score Check
  See how your resume performs before you apply

• ✍️ AI Bullet Point Improvement
  Turn weak lines into strong, impact-driven bullets

• 🎯 JD Matching
  Compare a resume vs a job description instantly

• 📊 Detailed Analysis Report
  Know exactly what’s missing

⚙️ Built as a solo developer

• iOS app (SwiftUI)

• Lean build (no overengineering)

• Focused on one problem: getting shortlisted

  💰 Monetization

  • Free usage with limited scans

  • Subscription unlocks full analysis + AI improvements

  Trying to keep it simple:
  👉 Give value first → convert serious users

  ---

  📈 Current stage

  • Recently launched on the App Store

  • Working on:

    • Improving conversion funnel

    • Reducing drop-off after the first scan

    • Getting the first 1,000 users

  🤔 What I’d love feedback on

  1. Is this problem still painful enough in 2026?

  2. Would you pay for ATS optimisation?

  3. What feature would make this a “must-have”?
