At Calm, we are committed to ensuring that our mobile application, Calm – Sleep, Meditate, Relax, is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide a welcoming and usable experience for everyone, adhering to the principles of inclusivity and universal design.
Our Commitment:

- Color Contrast: We ensure that text and interface elements have sufficient contrast to be distinguishable by users with vision impairments.
- Touch Targets: Interaction elements are sized and spaced to be easily accessible, reducing the chance of erroneous taps for those with motor skill impairments.
- Alternative Text: Images and non-text content have alternative text descriptions where necessary, to provide context through screen readers.
- Ongoing Efforts:
- User Feedback: We actively encourage feedback from our users regarding accessibility. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us at [email protected]. Your insights help us identify areas for improvement.
- Regular Audits: We conduct regular accessibility audits with both automated tools and manual testing to identify and fix issues.
- Training: Our development team undergoes training on accessibility to ensure that all updates and new features consider accessibility from the start.
- Future Goals:
