UX Check

What UX Check is

UX Check is a Chrome extension for finding usability issues through heuristic evaluation. It includes Nielsen’s 10 heuristics as a checklist and lets users create custom lists, such as company visual design guidelines or other principles. During a review, evaluators can add notes to findings, while the extension saves a screenshot of the interface. Results and screenshots can be exported as a Word document. The site describes heuristic evaluation as a lightweight way to identify issues without involving users and recommends it as an inexpensive sanity check for developers and designers. UX Check is free for personal and commercial use, listed as free. It does not recruit participants and does not provide moderated or unmoderated sessions. The listed platform is a Chrome extension. The site names Chris Gallello in Seattle as its maker, so the workflow centers on reviewing an interface, recording observations, and exporting the resulting evaluation.
