Accessibility

Unico is built to be used without a mouse and with VoiceOver. Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, for the app and for this website.

Where it stands

Partially conformant. Some parts of the app don't yet meet WCAG 2.2 AA; they are listed below. This is our own assessment, not an independent audit, and it comes from automated tests of the app's interface. We haven't yet tested a released app with VoiceOver, because there isn't one yet.

What works today

• Every command can be reached from the keyboard, and from the command palette (⌘ K).
• Single-letter shortcuts can be turned off in Settings → Keyboard, so they don't clash with speech input or switch access. The list still moves with the arrow keys.
• Controls have names for VoiceOver, and results such as "Marked Done" are announced without moving focus.
• The app follows the system's light or dark appearance, Reduce motion and Increase contrast.
• You can zoom the app from 50% to 300% (⌘ = and ⌘ −); a narrow window gets a layout without sideways scrolling.

Known gaps

• Undo send is a fixed 10 seconds. You can't make the window longer.
• The highlighted item in lists and menus is marked by a background shade that is lighter than the 3:1 contrast WCAG asks for. Buttons and tabs have a full-contrast focus ring.
• Some areas show no focus mark when you move to them with F6, such as an empty list or the notification area.
• Email content comes from its senders. Unico shows each message in a labeled frame you can reach and leave by keyboard, but it can't fix images without descriptions, low contrast or wide layouts in a sender's email.

Conformance report

A criterion-by-criterion report in the VPAT® format is in draft. We'll publish it before Unico's paid release; until then, ask us for the current draft.
