Templates

Every Oleafly project starts from a template. The gallery gives you a real page-one preview of each one, so you pick by looking at the output, not by guessing from a name. Templates ship as plain, editable source, LaTeX, Typst, or Markdown depending on the template: what you create is yours.

Bundled templates, installed packs and your saved AI templates all appear in one gallery. Creating a project gives you your own editable copy.

The gallery

Choose New project → Use a template in the library. The gallery has two steps:

1. Choose a template. Browse by category in the left rail, type in the Search templates box, or narrow the grid with the filters: ATS-friendly shows resume templates intended for a simple reading order, the engine filter picks LaTeX, Typst, or Markdown, and Offline shows templates whose assets are already on your machine. Every card shows a preview of the compiled first page.
2. Name your project. You’ll see the template’s full details: its preview, category, an ATS-friendly or Design-forward badge for resumes, the compile engine, and its license and author. Pick a project name (each template suggests a sensible placeholder) and a cover color, then hit Create project. If no cover color is selected, Oleafly picks one from the palette at random.

That is 28 bundled templates: 19 in LaTeX, 8 in Typst, and 1 in Markdown. LaTeX templates compile with the bundled Tectonic engine out of the box, or with latexmk if you made it the default compile engine. Typst templates use the bundled Typst engine, and Markdown templates go through the managed Pandoc path. The Typst templates use no packages, so they compile offline with any Typst from 0.13 to 0.15. Each template includes its license text (all permissive).

Downloadable template packs

The bundled set is deliberately compact. On-demand packs add more templates across academic writing, Beamer themes, business documents, conference preprint styles, coursework, creative documents, CV and resume styles, lab and technical reports, slides and posters, and journal or conference classes. Choose Get more templates in the gallery, or open Settings, Downloads, to install a pack. Its templates then appear in the gallery like any bundled one, and you can remove the pack later to free space. Packs come from a public catalog that Oleafly refreshes when you open Downloads while online, so the list can grow between app releases. Installing a pack needs a network connection.

AI-generated templates

Choose Generate a template to describe your own layout to an AI model. Select a model, inspect the generated source and preview, then save the template or use it to create a project. Use this template also saves it in the gallery.

Resume templates and ATS

Resume badges help you choose a layout:

• ATS-friendly (green badge): ATS Resume, Software Engineer Resume, Modern Resume. Single column, linear reading order, no layout tables, real text. Use the extraction preview to check what a parser can read from your finished PDF.
• Design-forward (amber badge): Sidebar Resume. It looks striking, and the badge is your heads-up that multi-column layouts can trip strict parsers.

Whichever you pick, run Preflight before submitting: it simulates a resume parser against your actual PDF and shows what was extracted.

On-demand fonts (the Setup badge)

Templates that use additional open-source typefaces (like the Lato-based Modern Resume) show a small Setup badge in the gallery. Creating one triggers a one-time font download with live progress, and the fonts are copied into the project’s own fonts/ folder, so the fonts travel with your source files.

You can pre-download or remove these font packs anytime in Settings, Downloads. Details in Settings.

After creation

The new project opens immediately with the template’s structure in the file tree: the main document, any .bib, and assets. Compile once (⌘↵ / Ctrl+Enter) and start replacing the sample content with your own. The template is editable LaTeX, Typst, or Markdown source. Replace its content and adapt the structure to your work.

The starting files are also saved as the project’s first Git commit, called Create project, so source control shows your own changes from the first edit. Start a new project explains when that commit is skipped.
