What pour is
Pour is a website accessibility toolkit for finding issues and explaining how to address them. Its browser extension audits the current page, groups findings by severity, and shows affected markup with repair guidance. The extension works with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and results can be exported as Markdown, CSV, or JSON. Pour also includes more than 55 simulations and lenses, covering examples such as vision effects, keyboard tab order, and page structure.
For development workflows, the CLI audits in headless Chrome, can serve as a CI gate, captures simulation screenshots, and crawls sites into standalone HTML reports. It supports the Model Context Protocol to provide an AI agent with audit details, keyboard focus order, and a screenshot. A VS Code extension checks HTML and several framework and template formats as you type. The tools run locally without transmitting audit results or telemetry. Pour covers 51 of WCAG 2.2's 86 success criteria, so its manual-review checklist remains relevant. The free plan costs nothing, with no accounts, subscriptions, or paid tiers.
