Accessibility.

What we aim for.

We build toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA as our target. We have not yet had an independent audit, so we describe below what is genuinely in place today, not a certificate.

What is in place today.

• Every page has a "skip to content" link, semantic landmarks (header, main, footer), a page language, and a single clear heading order.
• The whole site is keyboard operable: a visible focus ring on every link, button, and control, a menu you can open and close with Enter and Escape, and the mode tabs move with the arrow keys.
• Reduced motion is respected. If your device asks for less motion, the breathing orb, the gentle reveals, and the background drift all hold still instead of animating.
• Text contrast is checked against the WCAG AA ratio (4.5 to 1 for body text) in both light and dark themes.
• The site follows your saved choice and your device's light or dark preference, and never forces a theme on you.
• Decorative artwork is hidden from screen readers, and the interactive breath orb is labelled, so a screen reader is not read a stream of noise.
• The waitlist form has a real label and announces success or an error politely to assistive technology.
• No autoplaying sound: audio only ever starts when you tap the orb, and there is a control to turn it off.

Where we know we can do better.

We have not commissioned a formal third-party audit yet, and we intend to. The breathing animation, even softened, may not suit everyone, so reduced motion turns it off entirely. If you use a specific assistive technology and something does not work, that is the most useful thing you can tell us, because we cannot test every combination ourselves.

Tell us where it breaks.

If any part of this site, or the app, is hard to use, please write to us at support@tonari.app with what you were trying to do and what got in the way. We read every message and treat access barriers as bugs to fix, not requests to weigh. You can also see who is behind Tonari.
