Accessibility

Usable however you crochet.

HookPlan is built to stay out of your way while you work. Here is where accessibility stands today and what is being improved. If anything is hard to use with an assistive technology, please tell me; accessibility fixes go to the front of the line.

Last updated June 16, 2026

Supported today

  • Light, Dark, and System appearance on iPhone and iPad. HookPlan follows your system setting or lets you pick a theme in Settings.
  • Dynamic Type. Text scales with your system text size, and the counter has its own adjustable text size in Settings.
  • Reduce Motion. When Reduce Motion is on, the counter, stopwatch, and onboarding animations are minimized.
  • VoiceOver labels. Counters, buttons, checklist items, and tags are labeled for VoiceOver, and coverage is being expanded screen by screen (see below).
  • No microphone, no tracking. You count by tapping, by the Apple Watch Digital Crown, from the widget, or with Siri. Nothing is recorded, and all of your patterns, projects, and yarn stay on your device.
  • Apple Watch accessibility. The watch counter works with VoiceOver (labeled controls, Digital Crown adjustment), scales with Larger Text, respects Reduce Motion, and keeps sufficient contrast so the count stays legible.

What I am improving

I hold myself to the standard that you should be able to complete every task using the assistive technology you rely on. These are the areas I am verifying and strengthening for a future update:

  • Full VoiceOver coverage across every screen and flow.
  • Higher color contrast in dark mode for some buttons and badges.
  • Broader Reduce Motion coverage beyond the main counting screens.

Tell me

If a task is difficult or impossible with VoiceOver, larger text, or any other assistive feature, please reach out through the contact form or the feedback option inside the app. A real person reads every message, and reports that block someone from using the app are treated as priority bugs.
