Accessibility

Who we're building for

LowSpoons exists because cooking is hard when your body or brain isn't cooperating. Our users include people with chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, neurodivergence, and the many overlapping conditions that make "just cook something" not a simple sentence. Accessibility isn't an afterthought — it's the reason the product exists.

Our commitment

We aim to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA across our marketing site and app. In practice, that means:

• Text meets minimum contrast ratios against backgrounds
• All interactive elements are reachable and operable with a keyboard alone
• Images have descriptive alt text
• Forms have proper labels and error messaging
• The site works with screen readers (we test with VoiceOver and NVDA)
• Animation and motion can be reduced or disabled via your system preferences

What we're still working on

We're a small team and this is an honest list, not a marketing one:

• Full screen reader audit of the app (in progress — we're pre-launch)
• Reduced-motion alternatives for the marketing site's subtle animations
• High-contrast mode refinements
• Language support beyond English

If something's broken for you, we want to know. Please tell us — see below.

Report an issue

If you hit an accessibility barrier on our site or app, email hello@lowspoons.app with:

• A description of the issue (as much or as little as you can manage)
• The page or screen where it happened, if you remember
• What you were trying to do
• Any assistive tech you were using (optional)

We'll respond within 5 business days. You don't need to write a formal report — a sentence is fine. "The form button doesn't work with my screen reader" tells us enough to start.

Other ways to reach us

If email isn't accessible for you, let us know what is and we'll work with it. We're not going to make you jump through hoops to get help.
