Accessibility

Our commitment

Ambleen is built for every family. Many of the children using this app have sensory sensitivities, motor differences, or rely on assistive technology — and so do some of the parents. Accessibility isn't a checklist we run at the end; it's part of what "gentle" means. We aim to make the app and this website usable by everyone.

In the app

The following accessibility features are built into Ambleen:

  • Dynamic Type. All text in the app scales with your iOS text size setting — from small to the largest accessibility sizes — without breaking the layout.
  • VoiceOver. Every interactive element has a meaningful label. The step cards, navigation, and buttons are all announced correctly to VoiceOver users.
  • Reduce Motion. When you turn on Reduce Motion in iOS Settings, the app's transitions and animations quiet down to simple fades. Nothing essential relies on motion to communicate.
  • Reduce Transparency. When Reduce Transparency is enabled, the app replaces translucent surfaces with solid backgrounds so content stays readable.
  • Contrast. The primary action colour (terracotta on cream) is tested to WCAG AA contrast ratio — 4.5:1 or better at normal text sizes.
  • Touch targets. All tappable elements are at least 44 × 44 points, the minimum recommended by Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.

On this website

This marketing site is built with accessibility in mind as well:

  • Semantic landmarks. Pages use proper HTML sectioning elements — nav, main, footer, article — so assistive technology can navigate by region.
  • Skip to content. A "Skip to content" link is the first focusable element on every page, letting keyboard and screen-reader users jump past the navigation.
  • Reduced motion. Decorative animations (the ambient chip floats, the marquee, the reveal transitions) are suppressed when your system has "Reduce Motion" turned on.
  • Keyboard navigable. All links and interactive elements are reachable and operable by keyboard alone.
  • Focus styles. Focused elements have a clear visible indicator — a 2px terracotta outline — so keyboard users always know where they are.

Telling us about a problem

If something in the app or on this site doesn't work well with your assistive technology, or if something just feels hard to use, please write to hello@ambleen.app. We want to hear about it. Real feedback from real users is the only way we know what to fix, and we take accessibility issues seriously.
