Oobee review
A free, open-source scanner for WCAG 2.2 checks across websites and development workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Oobee is a free, open-source web accessibility testing tool developed by the Government Technology Agency of Singapore. It is designed for development teams that need automated checks across webpages and websites, whether they prefer a web interface, a Windows or macOS desktop application, or command-line workflows. Its positioning is particularly relevant to teams seeking free desktop and command-line scanning, with API access and Node.js module usage also available.
The scanning model is one of Oobee’s clearest strengths. Users can scan a website, sitemap, or custom flow, while findings are classified against WCAG 2.2 conformance requirements. Reports are available in HTML, PDF, CSV, and JSON formats, giving teams options for review, sharing, and downstream processing. Oobee also identifies affected code and elements and provides suggested fixes, which makes its output more actionable than issue lists that stop at a general description. CI/CD pipeline integration extends scanning into development workflows.
Oobee’s free, open-source model makes it a practical fit for teams that want to add automated accessibility checks without choosing among paid tiers. The combination of local desktop use, command-line access, API support, and CI/CD integration gives it a broad range of entry points while keeping the central focus on automated web scanning. It should suit developers and accessibility teams that value WCAG 2.2 classification, code-level guidance, and flexible report formats. Teams looking for a wider platform centered on capabilities beyond scanning should compare alternatives before choosing Oobee.
