Scan Profiles

Pro feature
Scan Profiles require a Pro license or active trial.

Scan Profiles let you save a named configuration for each site you audit. One click restores everything - the URL, scan mode, export settings, exclusions, suppressions, and report options - so you can go from opening the app to running an accurate, correctly-scoped audit without reconfiguring anything.

What a profile saves

Each profile captures a snapshot of your current settings at the time you save it:

Starting URL
Scan mode (Full Site or Single Page)
Scanner options (which exports are enabled, PDF scanner, broken link checking)
Report Filter selection
Page load timeout
Viewport width
Auditor name
Omit scanner attribution toggle
All path, query string, and regex exclusions
All violation suppressions

Profiles intentionally do not save Notion credentials, output folder location, app appearance, text size, notifications, or license information. These are considered global preferences that stay consistent across all clients.

Creating a profile

Configure your settings for the site - URL, scan mode, exclusions, suppressions, and any other options.
Go to Settings > Profiles.
Click Save current settings as profile.
Enter a name for the profile (typically the client name or domain).
Press Enter or click Save.

The profile appears in the list immediately and is ready to apply.

Applying a profile

Go to Settings > Profiles.
Click Apply next to the profile you want to load.

All settings captured in the profile replace your current configuration immediately. A brief confirmation indicator flashes in the settings header to confirm the profile was applied.

Deleting a profile

Click the delete button (✕) next to any profile in the list to remove it. Deletion is immediate - there is no confirmation prompt.

Exporting and importing profiles

Profiles are included in your settings export. Use Settings > Export Settings to save a .json file that contains all your profiles alongside other settings. Importing that file on another machine restores all profiles.

This is the recommended way to share a client profile with a team member or move your setup to a new Mac. See Settings Import & Export for the full export workflow.

When you import a settings file, all existing profiles are replaced by the profiles in the imported file. Export your current settings first if you want to preserve them.

Typical workflow

A common pattern for accessibility contractors is to maintain one profile per client:

First audit: configure the URL, exclusions, and suppressions, run the audit, then save a profile named after the client.
Each subsequent audit: apply the profile, run the audit. Everything is exactly as it was last time.
When client requirements change (new pages to exclude, new suppressions needed): apply the profile, make the changes, save the profile again to update it.
