100% Private Open Source v1.9.0 — Flow Builder + Multi-Flow Saves

AI-powered UX audit in your browser.

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.

Features

Everything you need for comprehensive UX evaluation.

Multi-Provider AI

Local via Ollama (free) or cloud with your own API key — Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude. BYOK, no middleman.

Nielsen's 10 Heuristics

Industry-standard UX evaluation framework with weighted scoring and actionable recommendations.

New

WCAG Audit (axe-core)

Automated WCAG 2.2 AA compliance testing. Violations with impact severity, affected elements, and fix references.

New

Custom User Profiles

Create up to 5 custom personas with age, tech level, accessibility needs, and goals — alongside 3 built-in profiles.

New

Custom Analysis Mode

Quick, Deep, or Custom — pick specific heuristics via toggle chips. Dynamic time estimates based on your selection.

Vision Analysis

Full-page screenshot capture. AI evaluates visual hierarchy, color harmony, and CTA visibility alongside DOM data.

PDF & Markdown Export

Professional reports with scores, code fixes, cost estimates, and priority matrix. Share with stakeholders.

Detailed Scoring

0-100 scores per heuristic with code fix suggestions, quick win indicators, and priority matrix.

Complete Privacy

BYOK model — API keys stay in your browser. No middleman, no telemetry, no data collection.

New

Issue Heatmap

Toggle a live heatmap overlay on the analyzed page. Critical issues glow red, moderate yellow, minor green — see problem density at a glance.

New

Hover-to-Highlight

Hover any issue in the report to instantly highlight the affected element on the live page with severity-colored borders and tooltips.

New

Flow Builder

Visual canvas to map multi-page user journeys. Connect pages, add notes, run cross-page UX analysis, save & load multiple flows.
