Open source Chrome extension that evaluates web pages using synthetic user profiles, Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics, WCAG audit, and vision analysis — powered by local AI or your own API key.
Everything you need for comprehensive UX evaluation.
Local via Ollama (free) or cloud with your own API key — Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude. BYOK, no middleman.
Industry-standard UX evaluation framework with weighted scoring and actionable recommendations.
Automated WCAG 2.2 AA compliance testing. Violations with impact severity, affected elements, and fix references.
Create up to 5 custom personas with age, tech level, accessibility needs, and goals — alongside 3 built-in profiles.
Quick, Deep, or Custom — pick specific heuristics via toggle chips. Dynamic time estimates based on your selection.
Full-page screenshot capture. AI evaluates visual hierarchy, color harmony, and CTA visibility alongside DOM data.
Professional reports with scores, code fixes, cost estimates, and priority matrix. Share with stakeholders.
0-100 scores per heuristic with code fix suggestions, quick win indicators, and priority matrix.
BYOK model — API keys stay in your browser. No middleman, no telemetry, no data collection.
Toggle a live heatmap overlay on the analyzed page. Critical issues glow red, moderate yellow, minor green — see problem density at a glance.
Hover any issue in the report to instantly highlight the affected element on the live page with severity-colored borders and tooltips.
Visual canvas to map multi-page user journeys. Connect pages, add notes, run cross-page UX analysis, save & load multiple flows.
Choose the setup that fits your workflow.
Times shown per profile. Selecting multiple profiles multiplies the duration proportionally.
Get started in under 5 minutes.
