Accessibility

We want Wuji to work for everyone. Here's where each app stands — and if something's broken for you, tell us. We treat accessibility problems as bugs.

This page is also the accessibility URL referenced in our App Store listings. Email hello@wuji-meditation.com with anything that isn't working.

Incense — iPhone & iPad

VoiceOver. Every control — duration, soundscape list, start button — is labelled. The animated stick and smoke are decorative and hidden from VoiceOver, so you can set up and start a session entirely without sight.
Voice Control. Controls are labelled so you can activate them by name.
Larger Text. Text scales with your Larger Text setting, and the layout adjusts without clipping or overlap.
Reduce Motion. With Reduce Motion on, the smoke is suppressed and the ember simplifies to a static glow. Fully usable, effective immediately.
Dark interface. Incense is dark throughout by design — the dark environment is part of watching the flame.
Contrast. Text and labels meet WCAG AA on the dark background. Known limitation: the small ember-orange accent on the timer numerals may fall below AA at small sizes — we're addressing it.
Color isn't the only signal. Options are identified by text labels, and selected states use both a highlighted label and a visual indicator.

Bowls — iPhone

VoiceOver. Interactive controls are labelled and reachable, including the pause control, which is announced properly while a session plays.
Reduce Motion. The screen's ripples and flex stop, and the picture holds still — those effects come off entirely. The override of the app's own preference applies to the screen-ripples toggle. Known limitation: the edge glow keeps its breathing swell and drift while bowls are sounding, which isn't yet under this setting. We're working on it.
Reduce Transparency. Glass panels switch to an opaque surface of the same shape and weight, with no see-through chrome.
Dynamic Type. Bowls supports Dynamic Type — the main text (titles, subtitles, body copy, and labels) scales with your preferred text size. Buttons and some smaller chrome are not yet resizable — that includes the main controls (Begin, Resume, End) and the purchase and Restore buttons. We're working through the rest.
Dark interface. Bowls is dark throughout by design, matching how the app is meant to be used.

Crystals — iPhone

Captions. Every guided narration line is captioned as it's spoken, built to a contrast standard measured well above the WCAG AAA threshold.
Reduce Motion. Honored, with two deliberate exceptions we'd rather name than hide. With it on, the screen doesn't flex when a bowl is struck, the figure behind the bowls appears complete instead of being drawn, the Journey moves between chakras by cross-fade rather than sliding, and captions cross-fade in place of the word-by-word sweep. Two things continue: the light along the screen edges still brightens and fades with the ringing, and the color still changes from one chakra to the next. Neither is motion, and stopping them would flatten the app for the very people this setting exists to serve — but if you'd rather they stopped too, tell us and we'll look at it.
Reduce Transparency. Glass panels switch to an opaque surface of the same shape, the same treatment as Bowls.
VoiceOver. Supported; interactive controls are labelled.

Tao Te Ching Meditation — iPhone, iPad, Apple TV & Apple Watch

Captions. Every chapter and every interpretation is captioned, in all versions, a line at a time as it's spoken. Captions are on by default, and there's a plain style if you'd rather not have the script lettering.
Read instead of listen. On iPhone and iPad every chapter has a text page. You can read it in silence, or follow along as each word lights up.
Text you can adjust. The text page has its own settings for size, typeface, line spacing, margins and darker text. Known limitation: it doesn't yet follow the system Larger Text setting. Use the app's own text settings for now.
Reading speed. The narration can be slowed to 0.8× or sped up to 1.5×.
Reduce Motion. With it on, the paintings hold still, the opening ripple and the slow push-in are off, and captions appear at once instead of being drawn in.
VoiceOver. Controls are labelled, but we haven't finished testing Tao with VoiceOver on a device, so we don't claim support yet. If something isn't reachable, tell us and we'll fix it.
Apple TV. Tao on Apple TV is driven with the remote. VoiceOver on Apple TV hasn't been tested yet.
Apple Watch. The Watch app is the voice alone: it has no captions and no text page. Its controls are labelled for VoiceOver, but we haven't tested it with VoiceOver on a watch yet.
Dark interface. Tao is dark throughout by design.
Language. The app, the three versions and the spoken explanations are in English. You can add the original Chinese, in traditional characters and read aloud in Mandarin, from Settings.

This website

The site is keyboard-navigable with visible focus, uses semantic structure and a skip link, provides text alternatives for imagery, and respects your Reduce Motion setting (the ambient smoke renders as a single still frame). We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA. If you hit a barrier, email us.
