Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: May 28, 2026

Our commitment

Emboulden is built to be usable by as many people as possible. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. We’re a small team in active alpha and we have not yet completed a full WCAG audit, so some pages may fall short. We’re working on it.

Known gaps

Things we know about and plan to fix as the product matures:

• Color-contrast has not been formally audited across every theme and surface. Some secondary text on cream backgrounds may not yet meet 4.5:1.
• Some form inputs use placeholder text without explicit labels. Visible labels are coming.
• The streaming AI coach updates the chat area as text arrives but does not yet announce new tokens to screen readers (an aria-live region is planned).
• Custom button focus indicators have not been audited for visibility across all themes.
• The free static course pages have not been audited for keyboard navigation through their “Page Mode” pagination.

What works today

• Semantic HTML for headings, lists, and forms throughout the app.
• Keyboard navigation works on the primary signed-in surfaces (sign-in, dashboard, journal, goals, coach).
• Color is not the sole means of conveying information.
• Pages reflow on narrow viewports down to phone widths.
