Accessibility Statement
Last updated: June 25, 2026
MONKy is committed to making meditation accessible to everyone, including people who use assistive technology. We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website and mobile app.
Our commitment
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more usable for everyone.
What we've done
- Semantic HTML structure with proper landmarks (header, main, nav, footer)
- ARIA labels and roles on key interactive elements
- Keyboard navigation support across the website and in-app screens
- Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
- Skip-to-main-content link at the top of every page
- Alt text on meaningful images; decorative images marked appropriately
- Reduced-motion support that respects your operating system preferences
- Color contrast that meets WCAG AA on body text and interactive elements
- Screen-reader-friendly announcements for meditation timer state changes
- Labeled form inputs throughout sign-up, login, admin, and cancellation flows
Known limitations
We are actively working on the following items and welcome your feedback:
- Some decorative animations and emoji icons are visual-only. Where possible they are marked aria-hidden so screen readers skip them.
- Audio meditation tracks do not currently include transcripts. They are ambient music, not spoken content, but we recognize a description of the audio character may help some users.
- The breathing-guide visual cue does not yet have an audio or haptic alternative.
Compatibility
MONKy is designed to be compatible with recent versions of:
- Screen readers: VoiceOver (iOS, macOS), TalkBack (Android), NVDA, JAWS
- Browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge
- Operating systems: iOS 14+, Android 10+, current versions of macOS and Windows
iOS in-app accessibility
The iOS app respects your system Dynamic Type and reduced-motion settings. Screen reader users can navigate the timer, paywall, settings, and onboarding flows using VoiceOver gestures.
