Creddle will be shutting down on December 1, 2024.

I've had the great privilege of creating and supporting Creddle for over ten years. It had big dreams of shaping the future of job applications, but ultimately found its place as a useful tool for job seekers looking to shape their own career futures.

Fulfilling the responsibility of maintaining a web service for job seekers is one that I've gladly accepted all of these years, but has become one that I'm no longer able to continue.

While this announcement will disappoint many, I hope that any help that Creddle has provided in the past may offset any challenges in the future. In order to reduce those challenges, Creddle will do the following:

Automatic Refunds Within 90-day Window

Creddle will automatically refund all in-app purchases made on or after June 1, 2024 as card and payment processing providers allow.

For ten years, these single in-app purchases have directly funded running the Creddle web service. If you chose to make a one-time purchase to support the site and unlock extra features for your account, I hope that these additions were good value and useful enough to have made a positive impact in your job search to be worth $5. Customers who made recent purchases will get much less time to realize that value, however. It's only fair to refund what I can.

TXT Export

It takes a lot of time and effort to write resumes. I don't want you to feel that you've wasted your time. Creddle has a new Export to TXT file feature to provide an additional option to more easily transfer your written content to your next resume builder of choice. The Print to PDF capability is still available and some users have had success with converting these to DOCX for editability. Before Creddle shuts down, please take the time to export your written content and report any issues with TXT Export to the support email.

Data Deletion

After Creddle shuts down, all user data will be completely deleted in 2025. Confirmation of data deletion will be shared here.

Recognizing the effort put into writing resumes, I'll process a limited number of manual exports for those who missed the deadline to save their written content as a TXT or PDF file. After this period ends, all user data will be deleted.

The goal was never to monetize your data. I'm proud to say that Creddle was made for you and no one else.

Thank You

I hope that Creddle played a positive role in your own job search. Your support through sharing and making in-app purchases has helped maintain a creative resume builder for many job seekers over the years.

However, Creddle was only there to help show others what was in you all along. Though Creddle's story is ending, yours is not. I believe in you - thanks for believing in me.
