Accessibility

Kerah is used by children, by elderly parents, and by carers reading a screen one-handed at the end of a long day. Accessibility is a release requirement here, not a later improvement.

Contrast and text size

Every text and background pair meets WCAG 2.2 AA (4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text). Bright status colours are used as fills with a darker companion colour for any text on them, never as the text colour itself. Type scales with the operating system’s Dynamic Type setting.

Screen readers

Interactive elements carry roles and labels for VoiceOver and TalkBack, including the parts that convey a safety verdict. A result is never communicated by colour alone — there is always a word or an icon carrying the same meaning.

Touch targets and motion

Tap targets are at least 44pt. Reduce Motion is honoured: when it is on, animation is removed rather than merely shortened.

Arabic and right-to-left

Arabic is a designed layout, not a mirrored afterthought. The whole interface lays out right-to-left, with Arabic typography and correctly mirrored directional icons.

Designed for elders

Elder profiles can use larger text, simpler screens and reduced reminder frequency, so the person being cared for is not handed the same dense interface as the person coordinating the care.
