Built to be used by everyone
Music is for everyone, so a practice tool should be too. We design Daily Crescendo and this website to be usable with assistive technology, and we treat accessibility as a feature — not an afterthought. If anything gets in your way, tell us and we'll fix it.
Standards we aim for
We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 / 2.2, Level AA for this website, and Apple's accessibility best practices for the app.
The app
Daily Crescendo is being built with iOS accessibility support from the start, including:
- VoiceOver — meaningful labels and an order that makes sense when read aloud.
- Dynamic Type — text that scales with your preferred reading size.
- Sufficient color contrast and support for increased-contrast settings.
- Reduced Motion — animations calm down when you ask the system to reduce motion.
- No reliance on color alone to convey information such as streaks or progress.
This website
- Semantic, structured HTML with real headings and landmarks.
- Keyboard-navigable links and form fields with visible focus styles.
- Respects your system's "reduce motion" setting — the animations and the ticking timer pause to a calm, static version.
- Form fields have associated labels, and the page works without requiring a mouse.
Known limitations
This is an early pre-launch page and the app is still in development, so accessibility is a work in progress. Some animated elements are decorative previews; none are required to understand the page or to reserve access. We'll keep improving as we build.
Tell us what's not working
If you hit an accessibility barrier on this site or, later, in the app, please email support@dailycrescendo.com with what happened and the assistive technology and device you're using. We prioritize these reports and aim to respond within a few business days.
