Private by design
If a resume tool has a login page, your career is on their servers.
Kivo doesn't have one. No account to create, no resume to upload, no cloud to trust. We looked for another resume AI that runs entirely on your phone — we couldn't find one.
How an AI fits in your pocket
When you install Kivo, it downloads an AI model — Google's Gemma, about 3.7GB, the same family of technology behind cloud chatbots, packaged to run on a phone's own processor. That download happens once, like installing a big game.
From then on, everything — reading job postings, tailoring your resume, writing cover letters, checking claims — happens in silicon you own. Modern phones are genuinely powerful; a complete application kit takes a few minutes of your phone thinking hard. Nobody's counting your generations, because nobody's paying for your generations.
Turn on airplane mode and try it. Everything still works — that's not a party trick, it's the proof of the architecture.
Online helps. Offline works.
The only thing Kivo ever fetches is a public job page you shared — and only when you share a link.
When you're online
Share postings straight from LinkedIn, Indeed, or your browser — Kivo fetches the public page, reads it on-device, and gets to work. Sharing a link is the only network request in the whole app.
When you're not
Paste text, scan a screenshot, or import a PDF — then generate, edit, check, and export entire kits with the radio off. On a plane, in a dead zone, on principle.

Settings has a delete-everything button. Uninstalling removes it all — there is no server-side copy to chase down, because there is no server.
Privacy you can verify with airplane mode.
