Accessibility

What we conform to

We target these published standards:

• WCAG 2.2 Level AA — the legal floor under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.
• Australian Government Style Manual — plain English at Year 7 reading level.
• W3C COGA (Making Content Usable) — cognitive and learning accessibility.
• SAMHSA trauma-informed design principles — predictability, transparency, user control.

What we do specifically

• Magic-link sign-in. No password to remember.
• Atkinson Hyperlegible font by default. Evidence-based for low vision and dyslexia.
• Light (warm cream) and accessible dark themes.
• WCAG AAA contrast on body text in both themes.
• Reading mode in Preferences: change text size, line spacing, motion, font.
• 48 px minimum tap targets on every button.
• No streaks, no "you missed yesterday" prompts.
• Crisis resources at the bottom of every page.

Where we know we fall short

• We can't generate a recovery phrase you don't have to save somewhere. We're working on social recovery (a trusted person who can help you back in) for v0.2.
• Some flows still require completing in one session. We're moving toward save-and-resume on everything.
• We don't yet have a screen-reader walkthrough or voice control.
• Our copy is reviewed against Year 7 reading targets, but not professionally audited yet.

Tell us where we're failing
