Every app we ship supports the full range of assistive technologies, by default, without exception. This is not a feature we add at the end — it is part of how we build from day one.
Accessibility is a company-wide standard at Skip the BS, not a per-app decision. Every app in our suite is held to the same requirements described on this page. Where Apple and Google set the bar, we try to go further.
Every interactive element across all our apps carries a meaningful accessibility label. Timers read out in plain language — not just digits, but duration and context. Progress indicators, streak counters, status badges, navigation items, and buttons all have descriptive labels that convey purpose and current state, not just visual appearance.
We test with VoiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android throughout development — not as a final checklist, but as part of how we build.
Every app we build is fully navigable by voice. Every button and interactive element has a clear, unique label that iOS Voice Control and Android Voice Access can target without ambiguity. Every core action — in any app — can be completed entirely by voice, no touch required.
Every app we build fully respects your system font size preference. Whether you’re on the default size or the largest accessibility setting, layouts adapt. Text never clips. Buttons never overlap. No content becomes unreachable at any size. We test at the full range of Dynamic Type sizes on every screen, across every app, before shipping.
Every app we build respects the Reduce Motion system setting on both iOS and Android. When enabled, animations and transitions are simplified or removed entirely. Motion is always decorative in our apps — never functional. You never need to see an animation to understand what’s happening.
Every visual theme we ship across any app — free or paid — is validated against WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements. Text on backgrounds, UI elements on surfaces, status indicators in context — all checked before release.
We never ship a theme that looks good but fails contrast. Paid themes are held to exactly the same standard as free defaults. Aesthetics and accessibility are not a trade-off.
Every app we build ships with a dark interface as the default — a deliberate choice that reduces eye strain, particularly for users with light sensitivity or certain visual impairments. Every app also includes a free light mode option for users who prefer or require a lighter interface.
Light mode is always free. Accessibility is never paywalled. Every app in the Skip the BS suite ships with at least one free dark theme and one free light theme, regardless of any paid customisation options.
We never rely on colour alone to communicate information. Across all our apps, every state and status is conveyed through at least two signals — colour plus shape, weight, or text. If you removed all colour from any of our apps, every piece of information would still be accessible.
Beyond the standard requirements, a few things we went out of our way to get right:
Accessibility is not a feature. It’s the floor. Every app we build starts here. The people who rely on these tools deserve software that was actually designed with them in mind — not software that technically passes a scan the week before submission.
If you encounter an accessibility issue in any of our apps, please tell us. A real person reads every message. We take these reports seriously and will prioritise fixes.
