Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation

All controls can be operated using the keyboard. Use Tab to navigate between focusable elements (buttons, inputs, links) and Enter or Space to activate them. Global shortcuts: Space (Start/Pause), R (Reset), S (Skip/Split).

Screen Reader Support

We've added ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels and roles to improve compatibility with screen readers. Timer status, settings, and actions are announced.

Focus Management

Logical focus order is maintained. Dialogs trap focus appropriately. Shortcuts are ignored when typing in inputs or when dialogs are open.

Skip to Content

Press Tab when the page first loads to reveal a "Skip to main content" link, allowing you to bypass the header and navigation quickly.

Text Size & Contrast

The application uses relative units for text sizing, allowing you to adjust the text size using your browser's zoom features. Color contrast meets WCAG AA standards for readability.

Audio Notifications

Timer completion is indicated by an audible sound. Ensure your device volume is on.
