Markitown is designed to make reading and writing Markdown accessible to everyone. Accessibility is part of both the app and this website: from navigating and reading a document to editing it, reviewing its structure and exporting it. This statement explains our commitment, the features on each platform and how to report a barrier.
Website conformance
Gabhel Studios SL declares that markitown.app conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA. This statement relates to the Markitown website; the app’s capabilities are described separately below.
Our commitment covers perceivable content, operable controls, understandable information and a structure compatible with assistive technologies. Keyboard navigation, visible focus, headings, control names, text alternatives and contrast are all part of that commitment. Text adapts to the available space without relying on manual line breaks to remain readable.
What we declare on the App Store
Apple’s accessibility labels let you check supported features by device family. Markitown’s current declarations in App Store Connect include VoiceOver, Voice Control, Dark Interface, Differentiate Without Colour Alone, Sufficient Contrast and Reduced Motion on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Larger Text is declared for iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro; that label is not declared for Mac.
Captions and Audio Descriptions are not declared as supported features. Markitown is a document editor and viewer, not a video catalogue. These labels describe specific app features and are separate from the website’s WCAG statement. Each platform’s listing shows the declarations Apple has published for that version.
Accessibility features on iPhone
VoiceOver lets you read a document and understand its formatting. Markitown announces elements such as bold, italics, code and links; it expresses equations in words and provides descriptions of diagrams so that their meaning does not depend on appearance alone.
The interface supports Dynamic Type, Voice Control and Assistive Access. The High Contrast theme and the Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion settings complement the light and dark appearances. Interface states do not rely on colour alone.
Reading a document and viewing its Markdown source are free. With the full version of Markitown, you can also edit documents and export them as tagged PDF and semantic HTML. These features help preserve an accessible structure when you share the result.
Accessibility features on iPad
iPad includes the reading and presentation capabilities available on iPhone: VoiceOver, formatting announcements, Dynamic Type, Voice Control, contrast and reduced motion. Your document remains the same file, whether you are reading it or working with several windows.
The iPad interface adds support for a keyboard, pointer and shortcuts. With the full version of Markitown, Split view displays the Markdown source alongside the rendered document. You can choose the view that best suits the way you read or write, without having to rely solely on a touchscreen to edit.
Accessibility features on Mac
VoiceOver provides rotors for headings, links, tables and code. Equations are read in words and diagrams have descriptions. You can navigate the document’s structure rather than relying solely on its visual layout.
The menu bar and keyboard shortcuts provide access to reading and editing commands. The Tab Moves Focus option lets you use Tab to move focus. Controls are named for Voice Control, and the app accommodates the Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion settings.
Mac supports a dark interface, differentiation without relying on colour alone and sufficient contrast. The Larger Text label is not declared for Mac; you can adjust document text size within Markitown. With the full version, exports produce tagged PDF and semantic HTML.
Accessibility features on Apple Vision Pro
The spatial experience includes the seven features declared for this platform: VoiceOver, Voice Control, Larger Text, Dark Interface, Differentiate Without Colour Alone, Sufficient Contrast and Reduced Motion. You can position document windows in your workspace while keeping Markitown’s reading and presentation options.
System accessibility preferences form part of the app experience. The availability of specific features depends on the version of visionOS and the compatible device you use.
Accessibility of your documents
Accessibility Check reviews a document against seven rules and lets you jump to each issue. It is a tool for finding and fixing problems as you write, not an automatic certification of the content.
Headings, link text, image alternatives and table organisation affect the accessibility of the result. Markitown lets you work with that structure and, with the full version, carry it through to tagged PDF and semantic HTML. The content you write and the resources you add remain part of your document.
Review and ongoing improvement
Our maintenance commitment includes reviewing the main reading, navigation and editing workflows, screen reader compatibility, keyboard use, contrast, and motion and text-size preferences. Accessibility reports help us identify barriers and guide fixes.
The website and app evolve. We will keep this statement aligned with the available features and the relevant declarations for each platform.
Report a barrier or ask for help
If you encounter a barrier, need information in another format or would like to suggest an improvement, email info@gabhel.com. Please say whether the issue is on the website or in the app, which device and operating system you use, the assistive technology involved and the steps needed to reproduce it.
You can attach a screenshot or sample document if you think it would help, after removing any confidential information. You do not need to send your personal documents to ask for help. We will handle any information you choose to provide in accordance with the privacy policy.
