Shortlist · Updated September 26, 2026

Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions apply to the Shortlist app (hereby referred to as “Application”) for mobile devices that was created by Srinivasan Rajendran (hereby referred to as “Service Provider”).

Upon downloading or utilizing the Application, you are automatically agreeing to the following terms. It is strongly advised that you thoroughly read and understand these terms prior to using the Application.

Service Description

Shortlist helps you keep one master resume, compare it against a job listing you provide, and produce a version of it tailored to that listing, together with an optional cover letter, as PDF or Word files. Scoring, rewriting and letter writing are performed by a third-party AI model on text you choose to send. The Application is designed not to add facts that are not in your resume, and shows you every change before you accept it.

Your Responsibility for Your Resume

You are responsible for everything in a resume or letter you send to an employer. The Application rewrites and reorders what you give it, and asks you before adding anything, but AI models make mistakes and the Application's checks are not perfect. Review every document before you use it. Do not accept a change you cannot stand behind in an interview.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

A match score is an estimate based on the text of one listing and one resume. It is not a prediction of whether you will be shortlisted, interviewed or hired, and it does not reflect the views of any employer. The Service Provider makes no promise about the results of any application.

Free Use and Subscription

You can import, edit, check and export your master resume, and tailor it to one job, free of charge. Tailoring further jobs requires a Shortlist Pro subscription, offered weekly or monthly. The monthly subscription may include a free trial; if it does, the trial length and the price after it are shown before you subscribe.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the shown price until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings; the subscription then runs to the end of the period already paid for. Cancelling during a free trial means you are not charged. Payments are processed through Apple's App Store and refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies. Prices may vary by country and may change; a change never applies to a period you have already paid for. Documents you created remain yours and remain in the Application whether or not you subscribe.

Your Data

Your resume and jobs stay on your device. The Service Provider has no access to them and cannot recover them for you. Deleting the Application permanently deletes them. You are responsible for your device backups. What is sent to the AI model, and when, is described in the Privacy Policy.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Application to produce a resume or letter that is false, that impersonates another person, or that you are not entitled to submit. You agree not to send the Application text you do not have the right to process.

Third-Party Services

The Application uses OpenRouter and Anthropic to process text you send for scoring, rewriting and letters, and RevenueCat to confirm purchases, each subject to its own terms. The Service Provider is not responsible for interruptions to these services.

Intellectual Property

The resume and letter text you provide, and the documents the Application produces from it, belong to you. All trademarks, copyrights, database rights, layouts and other intellectual property rights related to the Application itself remain the property of the Service Provider. Any attempts to extract the source code, reverse engineer, or create derivative versions are not permitted.

Limitation of Liability

The Application is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider is not liable for any loss resulting from the use of the Application, from reliance on a score, a draft or a letter it produced, from a document that an employer or application system could not read, or from any decision made about an application.

Updates and Termination

The Service Provider may update the Application at any time. You agree to accept updates when offered. The Service Provider may also terminate the service at any time. Upon termination, the rights granted to you in these terms will end and you must cease using the Application; any active subscription is governed by Apple's refund policies.

Changes to These Terms

The Service Provider may periodically update these Terms and Conditions. You are advised to review this page regularly. Changes are effective when posted on this page.
