CheckRun — Free Checklist Extension for Chrome

If you run the same web-based process more than once — an SEO audit, a QA pass before release, a deploy checklist, an onboarding walkthrough — you already know the problem. The checklist lives in a Google Doc, a Notion page, or a sticky note. You copy it manually, mark things off somewhere else, and the results disappear.

CheckRun is a Chrome extension that solves exactly this. It lives in the browser side panel, stays open next to whatever page you're working on, and lets you run structured checklists directly against any URL.

What It Does

CheckRun works on a simple two-step model: Template → Run.

You build a checklist template once — sections, items, whatever structure fits your process. Then you run it on any page. Each run captures the URL and page title automatically, and you mark every item as Pass, Fail, or N/A. You can leave a free-text comment on any item. The run saves to history when you're done.

That's the core loop. No copy-pasting. No switching tabs. No lost results.

Who Uses It

CheckRun is built for anyone with a repeatable web-based workflow:

  • SEO specialists running on-page and technical audits page by page
  • QA teams with pre-release and regression checklists
  • Developers with deploy and release sign-off checklists
  • Project managers running project launch and sprint planning reviews
  • HR teams handling onboarding and offboarding sequences
  • Designers and content managers with publish-readiness checklists

The side panel format is the key detail here — CheckRun stays visible while you work on the page itself. You don't lose your place, and you don't need a second monitor.

Key Features

  • Reusable templates — build once, run anywhere. Drag-and-drop reorder, collapsible sections.
  • Pass / Fail / N/A per item — with optional free-text comments on each.
  • Run history — every completed run is saved with its URL, date, and results.
  • Per-template statistics — pass rate over time, top failed items, donut chart breakdown.
  • Draft auto-save — in-progress runs save automatically; optional reminder if you forget to finish.
  • Share templates — export as JSON, a short token, or a deep-link URL that opens the template directly in CheckRun.
  • Export runs to CSV — or push results to a Google Sheet (one sheet per template, one tab per run).
  • Google Drive backup — save and restore your full data to your own Drive. CheckRun uses the drive.file scope and can only access files it created itself.
  • Full local storage — all checklists and run history stay in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly export.

How It's Different

Most checklist tools are standalone apps. You open them separately, create a checklist there, then context-switch back to the page you're auditing. The friction adds up.

CheckRun is a side panel extension — it runs inside the browser, next to the page you're auditing. The URL and title are captured automatically when you start a run, so your results are always tied to the exact page you were on.

It's also free, requires no account to use the core features, and stores everything locally. The Google integration is optional and works with your own Google account — CheckRun never touches files it didn't create.

Ready-made checklists for SEO, QA, onboarding, and project launches are available at checkrun.co/templates/. The website audit checklist https://checkrun.co/templates/website-audit-checklist/ template opens directly in the extension with one click.
