Accessibility

Settings › Accessibility has:

• Text size: match your phone (including Android's font size and iPhone's Dynamic Type), or pick from default up to 150%. Layouts wrap rather than scroll sideways at every size.
• Colour-blind safe colours: recovery and status colours chosen to stay apart with protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia.
• More contrast: follows your phone's setting, or can be switched on, with stronger text and borders and no glows.
• One-handed controls: for the left or right hand, putting Log set and the weight and rep buttons under your thumb during a workout.
• Less motion: Lean mode, and your phone's reduce motion setting, turn off animations, bursts and confetti.
• Light and dark appearance, and switches to turn off sounds and vibration.

• Colour is never the only cue: the recovery map adds patterns and labels, and picked options show a tick.
• Every control has a tap target of at least 44 pixels, and number buttons repeat while held so there's less typing.
• Screen readers: the rest timer announces when rest starts, at ten seconds left and when it's over, rather than every second. Sheets are labelled dialogs that take focus and return it when they close.
• Everything works with a keyboard, with a visible focus ring, and every sheet closes with Escape or its Close button.
• Windows High Contrast and other forced colour modes keep buttons, cards and the recovery map readable.

• Every change runs automated checks (axe, against WCAG 2.2 AA) on every screen of the app in dark and light, with colour-blind safe colours and more contrast, under forced colours, and on pages of this website.
• A keyboard-only run logs a whole workout at the largest text size on a narrow phone screen, without a pointer.
• Every colour is checked for contrast, and the status colours are simulated for three kinds of colour blindness.
• Layouts are tested on 13 phones and tablets, including the narrowest Android phones and iPhone SE.

• The 3D exercise demos and the 3D recovery map are visual. The setup steps, cues and muscle names next to them say the same in text.
• Camera rep counting needs you to be seen by the camera; logging by tapping always works instead.
• Automated checks can't catch everything, and we haven't yet had the app tested by disabled lifters.
