Accessibility

Built to be calm, clear and usable for every brain.

Focused Flow exists for people with ADHD and other neurodivergent brains, so accessibility isn't an extra for us — it's the point. This page explains what we do on our website and in the app, where we know we can do better, and how to tell us when something doesn't work for you.

Our website

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Here's what we do so far:

  • Animations are gentle and switch off automatically if you've turned on reduced motion on your device
  • No flashing content, auto-playing video or sound
  • Text colours that meet the WCAG AA contrast ratio against their backgrounds
  • A "Skip to main content" link and clear focus outlines for people navigating by keyboard
  • Text descriptions on meaningful images, for people using screen readers
  • Clear headings and plain language, with short paragraphs and lists
  • Layouts that adapt to small screens and zoomed-in text

The Focused Flow app

The app is designed around how neurodivergent people actually experience technology:

  • Dark mode, designed for people who are sensitive to bright light
  • Gentle visual feedback instead of jarring alerts — and no shame-based streaks
  • Voice input for capturing tasks and talking to your AI coach
  • Tasks broken into small steps, so you only see what you need right now
  • Calming soundscapes for focus sessions, always optional

We're working to make sure the app also works well with your phone's built-in accessibility settings, such as larger text, screen readers and keyboard navigation — if something doesn't work for you, please tell us.

Where we're still improving

We're a small team and we haven't yet had an independent accessibility audit. Some older blog posts and third-party tools we use — such as our support chat — may not fully meet the standards above. We review accessibility whenever we add new features, and we'd rather hear about a problem than have you struggle in silence.

Tell us what isn't working

If anything on our website or in the app is hard to use, or you need information in a different format, please get in touch or email contact@focusedflow.io. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
