Quickly turn accessibility findings into compliance documentation

Works fully offline. No accounts required. All AI features are optional. Nothing leaves your machine.

Log Issues

Describe what you found. AI maps it to the right WCAG criteria, suggests severity, and fills out the form. You review, adjust, and move on.

Organize Assessments

Group issues into assessments within projects. One place for every engagement, report, or compliance scope. Structure your work however you like.

Generate Reports

Generate structured reports with executive summaries and WCAG breakdowns. Write manually or let AI draft the narrative from your findings.

Create VPATs

Build VPATs against WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, Section 508, or EN 301 549. AI surfaces evidence and shows its reasoning while you decide conformance. Export to HTML, Word, or OpenACR YAML.

Coming soon

A cloud version is coming

The open-source version will always be free and fully functional. The cloud version adds team features for people who need them such as shared workspaces, managed hosting, and AI that works without an API key.

No commitment. Just an email when we launch.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI work if I don't have an API key?

Every feature works without an API key. The AI features are completely optional. If you want AI-assisted form filling, report narratives, or VPAT evidence generation, you connect your own key from any supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others). No key, no problem. You just fill those fields manually.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

No catch. The core tool is free, open-source, and runs entirely on your machine. There's no subscription, no usage limits, and no features locked behind a paywall. The only thing that costs money is your AI provider's API usage if you choose to use AI features and that goes directly to your provider, not us. A cloud version with team features is coming and will have a paid tier, but the self-hosted version will always be free.

How is this different from the GSA's OpenACR Editor?

The OpenACR Editor is a solid tool for filling out a single VPAT document. A11y Logger is a full workflow: you log issues during testing, organize them into assessments, and the platform generates your VPAT from that structured data rather than starting from a blank template. The OpenACR Editor doesn't have AI assistance, multi-standard support, or evidence linked directly to your conformance claims.

Who is this for?

Accessibility practitioners, program managers, and in-house accessibility teams who produce VPATs regularly and find the current process slower than it needs to be. No more word templates, manual criterion mapping, and hours of documentation work. If you test products for accessibility and need to turn those findings into compliance documentation, this is built for you.

What happens to my data?

In the offline version, everything stays on your machine. No data is sent anywhere unless you connect an AI provider. If you do, only the specific content you're generating assistance for goes to that provider. Nothing else leaves your machine. The upcoming cloud version will store your data on our servers and will have a full privacy policy and data processing agreement before launch.
