Sunset targets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA for its public website. This is an ongoing engineering target, not a certification or a claim that every use case is barrier-free.

What the website supports

Keyboard navigation, visible focus indicators, and a skip-to-content link.
Semantic headings, landmarks, labels, link names, and live status announcements.
Text that reflows at narrow widths without requiring two-dimensional scrolling.
High-contrast controls, 44-by-44-pixel interactive targets in the support dialog, and forced-colors support.
Reduced-motion behavior when the operating system requests it.
A support dialog that traps focus while open, keeps the underlying page out of the accessibility tree, closes with Escape, and returns focus to the prior control.

Sunset Studio and the Mac app

Sunset Studio's file picker, mastering controls, transport buttons, and processing status are keyboard operable and labeled. Waveform canvases are supplemental to text loudness, peak, and status readouts. Audio mastering itself is inherently auditory; visual measurements are provided to complement listening.

The native Mac app uses standard macOS controls where practical. If VoiceOver, keyboard control, scaling, or another assistive technology blocks a workflow, report the exact screen and macOS version through support so it can be reproduced.

Third-party boundaries

Stripe checkout, Google Forms, Google Fonts, and linked platform pages are operated by their respective providers and may have accessibility behavior outside Sunset's control. Sunset will provide a reasonable alternative for a purchase, form, or support step when requested.

Request help or an accommodation

Use Sunset support and include the page or feature, assistive technology, browser or macOS version, and the result you expected. Do not include passwords, payment-card data, health information, or other sensitive details. Accessibility requests are prioritized and can also ask for the same information in an alternative format.

Assessment approach

Reviews combine automated accessibility checks, keyboard-only testing, responsive-layout inspection, reduced-motion testing, and manual inspection of labels, focus order, status messages, and page structure. Automated tools are useful but do not prove full accessibility.
