WCAG 2.1 AA audits,
one click away.
AuditFocus scans any webpage against the WCAG 2.1 A and AA rule set, explains each violation in plain English, suggests AI-generated fixes on device, and exports audit-ready PDF, Markdown, and CSV reports.
Everything you need to ship an accessible release
From the first scan to the final audit report, AuditFocus keeps accessibility work in the browser, on your device, and out of your way.
One-click WCAG 2.1 AA scan
Open the side panel, hit Scan. Results grouped by severity in under a second, with rule ID, help text, and the offending selector for every violation.
Scans what you can see
Runs inside your tab, so logged-in dashboards, staging environments, and internal tools audit just as easily as public pages. No credentials to share, no tunnels to set up.
On-device AI fix suggestions
Pro uses Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano to generate plain-English fixes and ready-to-paste code. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
AI alt-text for missing images
For every image flagged by the image-alt rule, AuditFocus proposes contextual alt text you can copy straight into your markup.
Audit-ready reports
Export a branded PDF audit report, a Markdown summary for Linear or GitHub, or a CSV for Jira import. Every report keeps the axe-core attribution your legal team wants.
Scan history with project tags
Keep the last 100 scans locally, tag each one by client or sprint, and filter history by project so remediation work stays organized across accounts.
Agency branding
Upload a logo, pick an accent color, set your firm's name. Every PDF cover ships under your brand, with axe-core attribution preserved on an inner page.
Local. Private. Server-free.
No accounts, no telemetry, no servers. Scans, history, branding, and AI inference all run on your device. Uninstall and every byte is gone.
axe-core under the hood
Same rule engine the pros use. WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA coverage with 90+ rules spanning color contrast, ARIA, forms, landmarks, and more.
Why AuditFocus beats the alternatives
Accessibility audits usually mean paid SaaS dashboards, API keys, or command-line tools that your designers won't touch. AuditFocus fits into the work you're already doing.
Runs where your product lives
Most accessibility checkers crawl from the cloud and can't reach anything behind a login. AuditFocus runs in your browser, so admin dashboards, customer portals, and SSO-gated staging audit the same as a public landing page.
No API keys, no data leaving
Fix suggestions and alt text use Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model. Nothing is sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any vendor server. No rate limits, no per-token bill, no compliance review.
Reports your client will actually accept
PDF cover pages on Agency, Markdown for your ticket tracker, CSV for Jira or Linear import. Every report names the axe-core rule IDs and maps to WCAG success criteria, so legal and procurement sign off.

Questions teams ask before installing
Accessibility work has to hold up to audit. These are the answers teams check for first.
What accessibility rules does AuditFocus actually check?
AuditFocus runs the full WCAG 2.1 Level A and Level AA rule set via axe-core 4.10, the open-source engine maintained by Deque Systems. It covers roughly 90 rules across color contrast, ARIA, form labels, heading structure, image alt text, landmark regions, keyboard accessibility, and more.
axe-core is the same engine behind Lighthouse, GitHub accessibility tooling, and most professional audit products, so findings line up with what an external auditor will run against your site.
How are the AI fix suggestions generated? Is any data sent to a server?
Pro and Agency fix suggestions run entirely on your device using Chrome's built-in Prompt API and the Gemini Nano model. The violation details, the offending selector, and AuditFocus's prompt stay inside your browser. Nothing is sent to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Cloud, or any third-party server.
If Chrome's AI is not yet available on your machine, AuditFocus falls back to the axe-core rule description plus Deque University's help link. It is still a useful audit; you just do not get generated code.
Does it work on pages behind a login, on staging, or on internal tools?
Yes. AuditFocus runs inside the tab you are already looking at, so whatever you can see, it can scan. That includes authenticated SaaS dashboards, staging environments on private URLs, localhost apps, and internal employee tools.
You do not share credentials, provide a public URL, or set up a tunnel. Scans never leave your machine.
What's in the PDF, Markdown, and CSV exports?
Every export includes the scanned URL, the timestamp, the standard scanned (WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA), the scanner version (axe-core 4.10 via AuditFocus), and one row per violation with rule ID, severity, help text, and the failing selector.
The PDF is a formatted audit report suitable for handing to a client or attaching to a compliance ticket. The Markdown format drops straight into Linear, GitHub Issues, or Notion. The CSV is shaped for Jira import (one row per violation node, RFC 4180 + UTF-8 BOM).
What does the Agency tier add on top of Pro?
Agency is for teams delivering accessibility work to clients. It adds CSV export (for Jira, Linear, or any issue tracker that ingests CSV), a branded PDF cover page with your agency name, logo, and accent color, and a white-label mode that hides AuditFocus attribution in exported deliverables while preserving the axe-core open-source line that Deque requires.
Agency is a single $149 one-time purchase. You can use it on unlimited client sites from one install.
Is there a subscription? What am I paying for?
No subscriptions. The free tier gives you five scans per day with axe-core. Pro is a single $49 payment that unlocks AI fix suggestions, AI alt text for image-alt violations, PDF and Markdown exports, scan history, and project tagging. Agency is a single $149 payment that adds CSV export, branded PDF cover, and white-label mode.
Payments are processed by Stripe through ExtensionPay. We never see your card details. There is no recurring charge.
Does AuditFocus work in Edge, Brave, Arc, or Opera?
Yes. AuditFocus is a Manifest V3 extension for Chromium-based browsers. It installs from the Chrome Web Store and runs the same way in Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, and Opera.
The on-device AI features (fix suggestions, alt text) require the Chrome Prompt API and the Gemini Nano model, which is currently available in Chrome and Edge Canary/Dev channels. Scans and axe-core violations work everywhere regardless.
How does this compare to Lighthouse, WAVE, or axe DevTools?
The engine is the same. axe-core is what Lighthouse and axe DevTools both run under the hood. What changes is the workflow:
AuditFocus lives in a side panel you can leave open while you work, runs on any tab including logged-in staging, adds on-device AI fixes for every violation, and exports audit-ready reports directly from the extension. Lighthouse is great for one-off CI checks; WAVE is useful as a visual overlay; AuditFocus is built for teams who run audits repeatedly and need to ship a report at the end.
Need to turn on Chrome's built-in AI first?
AI fix suggestions and alt-text need Chrome 138 or later with the Prompt API enabled and the Gemini Nano model downloaded. It takes about three minutes.
