Frequently Asked Questions

Phaeto is a resume-tailoring tool that also shows you warm introductions into the companies you're targeting. It runs on iPhone and in a web browser. One account, same data on both.

Most tools stop at tailoring. Phaeto does three things together:

• Tailor — multi-variant rewrites for different reader types (ATS, Recruiter, Technical, Executive) across three fidelity modes.
• Fit Score— a deterministic local score, not a black-box LLM number. You can see exactly what it's measuring.
• Insider Access — matches the connections you already have (iPhone contacts, LinkedIn exports, message history) to the companies on your target list.

Only if you turn on Insider Access, and only what's needed to surface warm introductions. Specifically:

• iPhone Contacts (iOS) — read-only. Phaeto has no code path that writes to your iPhone address book. If you enable matching, Phaeto also copies the fields it needs (name, email, phone, company, title) into our cloud database so the matches work on the web too. You can delete the cloud copy at any time — your iPhone address book is never touched.
• iPhone Calendar (iOS)— Phaeto reads only event dates and the email domains of attendees and organizers. It does not read event titles, notes, locations, attachments, or attendee names. Only the aggregated per-domain signal (for example, “5 meetings with people at acme.com, most recent April 2”) is stored.
• LinkedIn messages.csv — aggregates only. Phaeto counts messages per counterpart and reads the first and last timestamps. It does not read message content, subject lines, or attachments.
• CSV exports you upload (like LinkedIn Connections) — parsed rows are stored linked to your account so the same imports work across your devices. You can delete any import scope at any time.

The full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

Your account, resumes, tailored outputs, saved resumes, target companies, and imported contacts are stored in Supabase, linked to your Apple sign-in. Tailoring requests are sent to the AI provider you've chosen (OpenAI or Anthropic) at request time. We don't sell your data or use it to train models. See the Privacy Policy for detail.

Bring Your Own Key. You can paste your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key into Phaeto's settings. When BYOK is on, tailoring uses your key, not ours, and your monthly run limit no longer applies. Any provider usage cost is billed by the provider to your account, not by Phaeto.

No. Phaeto's Fit Score is a deterministic local calculation — the same inputs always produce the same score. It measures keyword overlap, section alignment, role signal, and noise, each weighted based on the variant you've selected. The LLM only rewrites; the score is judged by code you can reason about.

Three tiers:

• Free — 5 tailoring runs per month, all fidelity modes, PDF export.
• Pro — 50 runs, Fit Score, History (25), Saved Resumes (20), DOCX export.
• Premier — 1000 runs, Insider Access, Target Companies (25 tracked), History (100), Saved Resumes (100).

BYOK is available on all tiers and bypasses run limits. iOS subscriptions are processed by Apple; web subscriptions are rolling out on Stripe.

Yes. Sign in with Apple on both. History, saved resumes, target companies, and imported contacts stay in sync across devices.
