Accessibility

LifeMap is built to work for everyone, including people who use assistive technology. We design the app so that important information and actions remain usable, understandable and accessible.

Supported features

LifeMap currently supports a range of accessibility features across navigation, text, visual presentation and motion. These features are designed to work with the accessibility settings available on your device.

VoiceOver

Every screen, button and control is labelled for VoiceOver, including icon-only buttons such as the back arrow, close button and LifeMap graph controls.

Selection states, such as relationship pills and category choices, are not communicated through colour alone. They are also marked and announced as selected for screen readers.

Voice Control

Navigation controls use consistent, predictable labels so that voice commands can work consistently throughout the app.

For example, back buttons use the same accessible action label, allowing them to respond consistently to commands such as “Go back”.

Larger text

Text scales with your device's font size setting, up to 200%.

Body text, buttons, forms and descriptions reflow to fit when text is enlarged. A small number of fixed-layout elements, such as the completion ring and PIN pad, scale up to a comfortable maximum so they remain legible without breaking their layout.

Dark interface

A full dark theme is available. It can either follow your system setting automatically or be set manually in the app.

The interface is designed to remain usable in both light and dark themes, with text and interface colours selected to maintain readability.

Differentiate without colour alone

Selected options and states are never conveyed by colour alone.

Where an option or control is selected, the state is also represented through other visual or semantic indicators and is announced to screen readers where appropriate.

Sufficient contrast

Text and interface colours are chosen to provide sufficient contrast in both light and dark themes.

Body text does not use pure black or light grey. Instead, LifeMap uses a high-contrast charcoal tone designed to support comfortable reading.

Reduced motion

If you have enabled Reduce Motion on your device, animations throughout LifeMap, including transitions, entrances and effects, snap directly to their end state instead of animating.

This helps reduce unnecessary movement for people who find animated interfaces distracting or uncomfortable.

Accessibility feedback

Accessibility is an ongoing part of how we develop LifeMap. Feedback helps us identify areas where the experience can be improved for people using different devices, settings and assistive technologies.
