What Includa is

Includa is a free website accessibility scanner for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It crawls sites and audits pages against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 using axe-core. URLs can come from sitemaps, robots.txt, and link traversal, while large sites can be sampled by template. Repeated issues are grouped across pages with counts showing their spread. Includa detects WordPress, Shopify including PageFly, Drupal, Magento 2, Squarespace, HubSpot, and Ghost, then tailors fix prompts to each platform. Each unique issue includes a copyable prompt with context, selectors, screenshots, and CMS hints for Claude or ChatGPT. A live dashboard and self-contained HTML reports are joined by JSON and CSV exports. Its command-line interface can fail CI/CD builds when critical issues appear. The tool runs locally without telemetry or an API key, and says data stays on the computer. It is labeled alpha and not production ready. Unsigned Windows and macOS binaries may trigger warnings or block first launch.
