Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 2026-05-12
Our commitment
Local Pocket is committed to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) Level AA across our web surface and our native applications. We also commit to making good-faith progress toward Level AAA where practical, and to meeting EU Accessibility Act (in force 2025-06-28) obligations for our consumer-facing software.
Current coverage (honest assessment)
This is where we are today, not where we want to be:
| Surface | Status | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| This website | Targeting AA at launch | Semantic landmarks, skip link, visible focus, reduced-motion, high contrast |
| macOS — Dashboard | Partial | VoiceOver labels, 27 keyboard shortcuts, reduce-motion respected |
| macOS — other views | Limited | Many icon-only buttons missing accessibilityLabel |
| iOS | Not yet shipped | Full pass scheduled with iOS launch (v2.1.x) |
| Android | Not yet shipped | Full pass scheduled with Android launch (v2.2) |
| Windows | Not yet shipped | Full pass scheduled with Windows launch (v2.2) |
Roadmap
- v2.1.x (macOS) — full pass to add
accessibilityLabelon every icon-only button and custom control; verified against Apple's Accessibility Inspector and VoiceOver. - v2.2 (cross-platform) — iOS, Android, and Windows clients ship with WCAG 2.1 AA-equivalent native a11y from day 1.
- Apple Accessibility Nutrition Labels — we will publish honest labels on the App Store the moment iOS ships; today, only Reduce Motion can be claimed.

Limitations
Local Pocket displays AI-generated content. Output text may not always be screen-reader-friendly (e.g., dense tables, math notation). If you encounter content the assistant produces that is inaccessible, please ask it to "answer in plain prose" or "describe this for a screen reader" — and report patterns where it fails to comply.
