One deliberate pass

Audit the journey you can feel.

Automated rules can tell you what might be focusable. Focus Flow Map records what actually happened under your hands.

  1. 01

    Start on purpose

    Choose the toolbar action on the page you want to inspect. The recorder announces itself and stays visible.

  2. 02

    Navigate normally

    Use Tab and Shift+Tab. The route records labels, safe selectors, viewport position, direction, and focus styling—not what you type.

  3. 03

    Hand off the evidence

    Review numbered stations and checks for jumps, off-screen targets, loops, stalls, and absent computed focus indicators. Export in one keystroke.

Privacy is the architecture

Your audit stays on your device.

Focus Flow Map removes query strings and hashes, redacts token-like text and emails, and never records input values. Sessions live in browser storage. No page content is sent to us. License verification sends only the license token to Sociobot.

Read the plain-language privacy policy

Optional local Pro

Keep the audit trail.

Free gives you a complete single-page map and every export format. Pro adds a 30-session local history and private audit notes. Accessibility, safety, and evidence export are never paywalled.
