March 19, 2026 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”?

    Would really appreciate honest feedback from this community 🙌
