A NEW DIRECTION, ON YOUR TERMS
A next step, not a prediction.Your experience is the starting point.
MOMENTUM LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
INSIDE REBOUNDOPS
See what a week of progress looks like.
Choose one direction and give yourself a time limit. The plan shows a next action, how long to spend on it, and what you’re trying to learn.
Example: Spend 30 minutes writing one résumé bullet and finding the source that supports it.
“The seven-day plan turned a vague ‘I need to get back out there’ into small, doable steps.”

To explore
Discover opportunities from public job-board APIs.
Your work, organized. Job discovery, CV tools, interview preparation and application tracking.
You stay in charge. The recovery flow opens the workspace; records aren’t automatically synced and applications aren’t submitted for you.
03 / A TOOLKIT THAT RESPECTS YOU
Your career is personal.
It should
stay yours.
Thoughtful defaults. Clear boundaries.
Built to help you make
your own decisions.
Evidence before confidence.
Review sources, correct claims and see what’s still unknown. Recovery routes are possibilities to test, not hireability predictions.
Local first. Deliberately.
The app runs on your computer. Recovery sessions start in memory; disk saving is optional. The job-search workspace saves its files locally.
AI on your terms.
Core recovery works without AI. Optional recovery AI review needs configuration, an exact payload preview and your consent. Workspace AI has separate settings.
Open by design.
MIT-licensed code you can read, adapt and contribute to. No subscription is required; optional AI providers may charge for usage.
EARLY USER FEEDBACK
What people found useful.
Seven people share what helped as they figured out their next career move.
“ReboundOps gave me structure when my job search felt completely overwhelming. The seven-day plan turned a vague ‘I need to get back out there’ into small, doable steps.”
“I appreciated that it didn’t pretend a new job would fix everything. The career-recovery tools helped me think through what I actually wanted next, not just apply to anything available.”
“The local job-search focus is what sold me. Instead of scrolling through irrelevant national listings, I could build a practical shortlist around my area and skills.”
“I used ReboundOps after a layoff and found the evidence-led approach refreshing. It helped me track progress, identify gaps, and stay consistent without feeling like I was being judged.”
“The optional AI support was useful for drafting and refining my application materials, but I still felt in control of the final version. That balance mattered to me.”
“What I liked most was the practical tone. No empty motivation—just a clear workspace, focused actions, and a way to see forward movement week by week.”
“As someone returning after a career break, I needed something that respected my situation. ReboundOps helped me rebuild confidence and approach my search with a real plan.”
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Still curious? Ask a setup question or report an issue on GitHub ↗
Who is ReboundOps for?
Experienced software professionals navigating a layoff, exploring a career change or trying to bring structure to their next move. It is a self-directed toolkit, not a recruitment agency or a promise of employment.
Do I need to pay or use an AI model?
The code is free under the MIT license. The core recovery flow needs no API key. Optional AI features require a separately configured provider and may incur provider charges.
Is this a hosted app?
This website introduces the project. The recovery app and job-search workspace run on your own computer. Follow the setup instructions below to start the integrated local workspace.
Where does my information go?
Recovery sessions are memory-only by default, with optional unencrypted local disk saving and downloadable backups. Workspace CVs, reports and tracker data are local files. Configured AI features can send data to a provider; recovery AI review requires a separate payload preview and consent. This marketing site has no analytics, account signup or data collection form.
Will it apply to jobs for me?
No. It helps you explore, prepare and organize. You decide which opportunities to pursue and submit your own applications.
How mature is the project?
ReboundOps is an early local developer preview with automated engineering checks. External participant validation, independent accessibility evaluation and live recovery AI evaluation remain open. Feedback is welcome; career outcomes are not guaranteed.
