PacerAccessibility
Pacer is built so that everyone can pace their day. We design both the Pacer member app and Pacer Coach, and this website, to work with assistive technologies — and we treat accessibility as part of the product, not an afterthought. Below is exactly what we support, for full transparency.
Assistive features in the apps, by device
The Pacer apps support the following Apple accessibility features on each platform:
| Feature | iPhone | iPad | Apple Watch | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VoiceOver | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| Voice Control | Supported | Supported | Not available | Supported |
| Larger Text (Dynamic Type) | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| Dark Interface | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| Differentiate Without Color Alone | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| Sufficient Contrast | Supported | Supported | Not available | Supported |
| Reduced Motion | Supported | Supported | Not available | Supported |
✓ supported · — not offered on that platform. What each feature means is detailed below.
What these mean
- VoiceOver — every screen, control, and data visual has a meaningful label and value. The protein ring, net-deficit card, and metric tiles each read as a single clear statement (e.g. "Protein progress, 164 of 200 grams, 36 grams to go").
- Voice Control — interactive elements are named so they can be activated by voice.
- Larger Text (Dynamic Type) — text scales with your system text-size setting, including the large dashboard numerals.
- Dark Interface — designed dark-first and fully legible in dark appearance.
- Differentiate Without Color Alone — metabolic state (Target Deficit, Aggressive, Maintenance, Surplus) is conveyed with a label and a distinct symbol in addition to color, so meaning never depends on color vision.
- Sufficient Contrast — text and essential controls meet contrast guidance and respond to Increase Contrast.
- Reduced Motion — when enabled, non-essential animation (ring fills, transitions) is turned off and values update without movement.
Media features
The Pacer apps contain no audio or video content, so Captions and Audio Descriptions do not apply and are not claimed. If we add media in future, we will support those features and update this page.
This website
pacerfitness.com itself is built to WCAG 2.2 level AA as a target. Specifically:
- Keyboard — all links, buttons, the menu, and the waitlist form are fully operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and a "Skip to content" link.
- Structure — semantic landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) and a logical heading order help screen-reader and keyboard users navigate.
- Contrast — text and controls are chosen to meet AA contrast on the dark theme.
- Reduced motion — the site honors your "reduce motion" system setting.
- Forms — the waitlist field is labelled and status messages are announced to assistive tech.
- Images — decorative app mockups are exposed as a single labelled image rather than read out as fragmented interface text.
Standards & feedback
We follow Apple's accessibility guidelines for native apps and WCAG 2.2 AA for the web — ongoing work with every release. If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere in Pacer or on this site, email hello@pacerfitness.com with the device, the assistive feature you were using, and what happened. We read every message.
