Accessibility

NovaKey is designed to work well with iOS accessibility features. This page documents the supported features and a few tips for best results.

Supported features

VoiceOver

NovaKey supports VoiceOver throughout the app: - Buttons and controls have meaningful labels (not just icons) - Important events announce status (for example: pairing results, scan success, limit reached) - Alerts and dialogs are readable and actionable

Tip: If VoiceOver is enabled, you can navigate the main list of secrets and open the action menu (Copy/Send/etc.) using standard VoiceOver gestures.

Voice Control

NovaKey is Voice Control friendly: - Primary actions use labeled controls where possible (e.g., “Add Secret”, “Listeners”) - Menu items are named clearly so they can be activated by voice

Tip: Use commands like “Tap Add Secret” or “Tap Listeners”.

Larger Text (Dynamic Type)

NovaKey supports Dynamic Type: - Text scales when you increase system font size - Layouts are intended to remain usable at larger sizes

Tip: Set text size via: Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text

Dark Mode

NovaKey supports system appearance: - Works in Light and Dark Mode - Uses system materials and colors to remain readable

Tip: Toggle via: Settings → Display & Brightness

Differentiate Without Color Alone

NovaKey avoids relying only on color to communicate meaning: - “FREE/PRO” is shown as text, not color-only - Paired / Not Paired uses both icon + label text

Sufficient contrast

NovaKey primarily uses system colors/materials (which follow iOS contrast rules). If you enable higher contrast in iOS, the UI should remain legible.

Tip: Increase contrast via: Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Increase Contrast

Reduce Motion

NovaKey respects Reduce Motion: - Animations are reduced/disabled when the system setting is enabled - Toast transitions and other UI motion are minimized accordingly

Tip: Enable via: Settings → Accessibility → Motion → Reduce Motion

Captions and Audio Descriptions

NovaKey does not include video or audio playback content in the app itself, so captions/audio descriptions generally do not apply.

If you view tutorial videos hosted elsewhere, use iOS captioning/audio description settings as appropriate: - Settings → Accessibility → Subtitles & Captioning

Accessibility and security

NovaKey intentionally combines accessibility with security: - Sensitive actions (copy/send/export) require authentication - Secrets are not displayed after saving - Clear feedback is provided both visually and (when enabled) via VoiceOver announcements

Feedback

If you encounter an accessibility issue (label missing, hard-to-tap control, confusing navigation), please report it with: - iOS version - device model - which screen/action caused the problem - whether VoiceOver/Voice Control/Larger Text/Reduce Motion was enabled
