Unaccounted: Accessibility
We want everyone to be able to use Unaccounted, including people who use a screen reader, larger text, or other assistive technology. This page says where the Android app and this website stand today, what we know doesn't work well yet, and how to tell us about a problem.
What we aim for
We work towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, applied to the app as well as the website. Unaccounted partially conforms: some parts don't meet the standard yet (listed below). This is our own assessment; no outside audit has been done yet.
What works today
- Screen readers: buttons, tabs, switches and the day's categories have spoken names and roles for TalkBack, and charts carry a short spoken summary or a description of each bar.
- Text size: the app follows your phone's font size, up to 1.2 times the standard size (see below).
- Light and dark themes, chosen in Settings or following your phone.
- Reduce motion: with your phone's "remove animations" setting on, the opening animation and the offline check's animation are skipped.
- Touch targets are meant to be at least 44 points, with extra room around small icons.
- Gestures have a tap alternative where we know of them: sheets close with their Close button as well as a swipe, and the week of sleep reached by swiping up on Today's sleep card can also be opened from the screen reader's actions on that card.
- This website works without JavaScript, has a skip link, follows your light or dark preference and doesn't animate if you ask your browser for reduced motion.
What doesn't work well yet
- Text larger than 1.2 times the standard size isn't followed inside the app. The main screens are designed to fit on one screen without scrolling, and larger text would cut them off. We plan to offer a layout that scrolls for larger text.
- Charts are visual first. Their summaries give the main figures, but not every value of every bar or day can be reached with a screen reader yet.
- Reordering categories uses press-and-drag, which has no button alternative yet.
- Home-screen widgets follow Android's own text size and are not yet fully described for screen readers.
- Colour: categories are told apart by colour and by icon and name; in a few charts colour alone separates categories.
- Translations other than English haven't been checked by native speakers yet, so some wording, including spoken labels, may read awkwardly.
- iPhone and iPad versions aren't available yet, so they haven't been checked with VoiceOver.
Tell us about a problem
If something in Unaccounted is hard or impossible for you to use, please email support@unaccounted.dev and say what you were trying to do, on which screen, and which assistive technology you use. We answer within 30 days, and we can also help you get your data out of the app in a format that works for you.
How we check
Each change to the app is checked on Android phones and tablets in light and dark themes and in several languages. We are adding regular screen-reader checks with TalkBack. We'll update this page as things are fixed.
