Today the app is partially conformant: the pages and flows we audited meet level AA, and the known gaps are listed below. Statement prepared: 15 October 2026 ## Conformance status Partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. “Partially” means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform – they are listed under “Known limitations”. Last audit: 2026-10-15. ## How we assessed it This statement is based on a self-assessment by Unique-P GmbH, which operates Contals: automated checks with axe-core in every test run and a manual review with the keyboard, zoom and the accessibility tree. No external audit has been carried out yet. ## What this statement covers The Contals app (app.contals.com: sign-in, boards, card details, Power-Ups, settings, imports, templates, invitations, the public booking and date-poll pages), this website and the documentation. ## What we do - Every page and state of the app is checked automatically with axe-core against WCAG 2.2 A and AA, in light and dark mode, in German and English, and every night also in French (light mode) – a new violation fails our test run. - Everything works with a keyboard: creating a board, adding, editing and moving cards, commenting, assigning, due dates, Power-Ups and invitations. Cards, lists and checklist items can be moved without dragging, and the single-key shortcuts can be turned off. - Visible focus everywhere, colours with at least 4.5:1 contrast for text and 3:1 for controls, in every theme (light, dark, high contrast, sepia). - Page titles, landmarks, labels and live announcements for screen readers (sync status, results, new comments). - The layout adapts down to 320 pixels and to 400 % zoom; animations stop when the device asks for reduced motion. - Sign-in without puzzles: password managers and pasting work, and you can sign in with an e-mail link instead of a password. ## Simple view for occasional helpers People who help now and then can switch on the simple view (profile → Simple view): fewer buttons, larger text, every control at least 44 pixels, plain words, and card details as a full page on phones. It is on by default for volunteers, viewers and guests. ## Known limitations - Text that people write (card titles, descriptions, comments) is not marked with its language, because Contals does not know it. A screen reader reads it in the language of the interface. - The calendar month grids (the board calendar and the workspace calendar) are visual grids without table semantics: screen readers hear each day’s full date and its cards in reading order, but not the week rows. The workspace calendar also has an agenda view. Moving a card to another day by dragging also works in the card details (the due date). - Board lists are a two-dimensional layout and scroll sideways on small screens, as the WCAG reflow exception for such content allows. Every list can also be reached with the arrow keys. - Some Power-Up settings pages (automation rules, booking types) have long forms that we have checked with automated tests and the keyboard, but not yet with all screen readers. - We have checked names, roles and states with automated tests and a review of the accessibility tree; tests with people who use assistive technology every day are still to come. ## Technology Contals relies on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and WAI-ARIA. It is tested in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Video: the display settings – dark, high contrast, sepia and light, switched with one click each. Easy on every eye Video: on a phone in the simple view, a volunteer opens a card of the volunteer day and taps “I’ll do it”. “I’ll do it” ## Report a barrier Something you cannot use?
