Coming soon

The CheckFox browser extension

Audit faster without leaving the page. Run an automated scan, use in-page review helpers, and push pre-filled findings straight into your CheckFox audit.

Not published yet

The extension is in active development for Chrome and Firefox. This page describes what it will do; the store links will appear here at launch.

What it does

Manual accessibility audits are slow because the auditor moves constantly between the page under test and the audit tool. The CheckFox extension closes that gap by working directly inside the browser tab you are reviewing.

It is a starting point, not an autopilot. The extension pre-fills findings and surfaces context; the auditor always validates or overrides what it proposes.

Key features

Automated scan with axe-core

Runs a deterministic axe-core scan on the active tab and returns structured violations: rule, impact, selector and HTML snippet.

Mapped to WCAG, RGAA and RAWeb

Each violation is mapped to the relevant criteria in WCAG 2.2, RGAA 4.1 and RAWeb 1, so results land where your audit expects them.

In-page audit helpers

Visualise tab order, heading structure, alt text, ARIA roles and a no-CSS view, or inject your own CSS or JS snippet for power-user checks.

Two-way sync with CheckFox

Push pre-filled findings into the matching audit sample, and pull existing findings back as context while you work.

How it works

  1. Connect

    Paste your CheckFox API key once in Settings. It is stored locally on your device.

  2. Scan

    Open the extension on the page you are auditing and run the scan to collect structured violations.

  3. Review

    Use the in-page helpers to verify findings manually, then confirm, edit or discard each one.

  4. Sync

    Push the confirmed findings to the matching sample in your CheckFox audit.

Built with privacy in mind

Your API key and preferences stay on your device. Data leaves the extension only to reach your own CheckFox account, over HTTPS, and only when you explicitly act. No analytics, no third-party trackers.
