ShiftView version 2 released – new name, new ownership, new app, new features
January 24, 2026
We’re thrilled to announce ShiftView 2.0 – the biggest update since we launched! This isn’t just a version bump; it’s a complete reimagining of how accessibility scanning should work. We’ve listened to your feedback and built features that make your workflow faster, your insights clearer, and your results more impactful.
What’s New: Game-Changing Features
⚡Partial Rescans: Get Answers in Minutes, Not Hours
Remember waiting 20+ minutes for a full site scan just to check if you fixed that one pesky alt text issue? Those days are over.
With Partial Rescans, you can now:
- Rescan just the pages you’ve updated
- Check specific accessibility issues you’ve been working on
- Verify particular WCAG requirements without scanning everything else
What this means for you: Instead of running a full scan every time you make changes, get targeted results in minutes. Perfect for iterative development and quick client updates.
Smart Issue Prioritization: Focus on What Matters Most
Not all accessibility issues are created equal. Some affect thousands of users, others might only impact a handful of visitors.
Our new Google Analytics integration shows you exactly which issues are hitting your highest-traffic pages, so you can:
- Fix problems that affect the most real users first
- Make data-driven decisions about your accessibility roadmap
- Show stakeholders the business impact of accessibility improvements
Plus, our AI-powered issue grouping automatically organizes similar problems by CSS selector and gives them clear, human-readable names. No more deciphering cryptic technical jargon.
AI Alt Text Fixer: From Problem to Solution
Finding missing alt text is one thing – writing good alt text is another. Our new AI Alt Text Fixer doesn’t just identify the problem; it solves it.
Here’s how it works:
- Our AI analyzes your images and generates descriptive alt text
- Review and edit suggestions right in ShiftView
- Our embed code automatically applies the fixes to your live site
The result: Turn hours of manual alt text writing into minutes of quick reviews.
Professional Reports: Client-Ready in One Click
Whether you’re an agency presenting to clients or an in-house team reporting to leadership, you need reports that look professional and tell a clear story.
Our new PDF and CSV reports give you:
- Clean, branded PDF reports you can send directly to clients
- Detailed CSV exports perfect for developer teams and data analysis
- Executive summaries that speak to business stakeholders
Custom Scoring Systems: Your Priorities, Your Way
Every organization has different accessibility priorities. Maybe you care most about screen reader compatibility, or perhaps mobile accessibility is your top concern.
With Custom Scoring Systems, you can:
- Weight different types of issues based on your priorities
- Create scoring that aligns with your organization’s goals
- Choose from our pre-built systems or build your own from scratch
Individual Issue View: Deep Dive When You Need To
Sometimes you need the full story on a specific accessibility issue. Our new Component Detail Panel gives you comprehensive information about each problem, including:
- Element details and HTML snippets
- Step-by-step fix instructions
- Issue-by-issue navigation within components
- Context about why each issue matters
What’s Improved: Everything You Love, But Better
Complete Redesign: Beautiful and Intuitive
We’ve rebuilt the entire interface from the ground up. The new design isn’t just prettier (though it definitely is) – it’s more intuitive, faster to navigate, and designed around how you actually work.
Full JavaScript Rendering: Real Browser, Real Results
Your users experience your site with JavaScript running, so that’s exactly how we scan it now. Our scanner loads your pages in a real browser and executes all your JavaScript, giving you the most accurate picture of what your users actually encounter.
Why this matters: No more false positives from content that only appears after JavaScript loads. No more missed issues in dynamic content. Just accurate, reliable results.
The Bottom Line: Accessibility That Actually Works for Your Workflow
ShiftView 2.0 isn’t just about new features – it’s about making accessibility scanning work the way you do. Whether you’re:
- An agency needing client-ready reports and efficient workflows
- A developer wanting quick feedback on specific fixes
- A product manager prioritizing issues by user impact
- An accessibility specialist needing detailed, accurate results
Version 2.0 meets you where you are and helps you get where you need to go, faster.
