Diverse people of varying abilities using Daylogue on different devices, representing the app's commitment to accessibility

Accessibility

Accessibility and support needs belong in the design.

Daylogue is a pattern journal for different access needs. It gives people a calmer way to check in, notice what changes over time, and read the emotional patterns across their own entries.

Voice or textNo streaksPlain languageUser-controlled sharing

Access-needs friendly

Built around more than one kind of user.

People often ask whether a product is special-needs friendly. We prefer the clearer question: does it respect different access needs? Daylogue is designed for people who may need voice instead of typing, short prompts instead of blank pages, calm screens instead of busy dashboards, and a way back in after missing time.

What makes it accessible

The product lowers the work it takes to start.

Check in your way

Type, speak, use a quick pulse, or keep the entry short. A few words still count.

Less to manage

No streaks, crowded screens, or pressure to explain everything perfectly.

Patterns over time

Daylogue reads past entries to detect emotional patterns you might miss day to day.

Private by design

Your entries are yours. You choose what to write, what to keep, and what to share.

Different needs, same dignity

Daylogue does not assume reflection looks one way.

A good check-in tool should work on a clear day and on a hard one. Daylogue is not built around long writing sessions or perfect consistency. It is built around returning, noticing, and keeping the person in control.

Motor access

When typing is hard

Voice check-ins and quick taps reduce the amount of precise typing required. Daylogue is designed around starting small, not composing a perfect entry.

Cognitive access

When open-ended reflection feels like too much

Guided prompts, short check-ins, plain language, and no streaks keep the experience calm for people who need lower cognitive load.

Vision access

When readability matters

The experience is built with readable contrast, dark mode support, semantic structure, and an accessibility roadmap for text alternatives to visual features.

Support circles

When someone is helping you stay oriented

Daylogue can be used alongside a caregiver, parent, partner, coach, or support person. The person using Daylogue stays in control of their own entries.

Current support

What Daylogue supports today.

Accessibility is ongoing work. These are the product behaviors and design commitments we can point to now.

  • Voice check-ins with transcripts for review
  • Quick check-ins for low-energy days
  • Guided questions instead of a blank page
  • No streaks, scores, or shame-based reminders
  • Dark mode and readable contrast targets
  • Keyboard and screen-reader-aware web structure
  • A WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility target across active experiences
  • Accessibility feedback reviewed by the product team

Clear boundary

What Daylogue is not.

Daylogue is not therapy and is not a replacement for professional care. It does not diagnose, treat, or tell you what to do. It is a pattern journal that helps you notice what has been showing up in your own words.

Still improving

Known accessibility work.

  • Some charts and visual summaries are still being improved for non-visual review.
  • Chromascape is a visual feature; we are exploring clearer non-visual representations.
  • Voice features require microphone access and browser or device support.
  • Third-party components are reviewed as the product changes.
