Accessibility

Orifold aims to be comfortable to read and operable without a mouse. Here’s what’s built in, and where the honest edges are.

Orifold respects the system Reduce Motion setting. When it’s on, the first-launch companion showcase is skipped and the companion stays at its resting size — the animated flourishes step aside without you losing any functionality.

  • Reader Mode (⌘⇧R) locks out text editing and signing to reduce accidental changes from those tools. Form widgets have separate saving limitations; Reader Mode is not a document lock.
  • Document Comfort offers Default / Night / Eye Care / Focus presets plus warmth, brightness, and contrast controls, and a high-contrast page mode — for long sessions or light-sensitive eyes.
  • App appearance follows System, Light, or Dark to match the rest of your Mac.

Orifold follows standard macOS shortcut conventions, with a full keyboard-shortcuts cheat sheet (⌘/). Standard text-editing shortcuts work anywhere you type — search, comments, form fields, and editable PDF text.

Document and page rows in the workspace sidebar can receive keyboard focus. Press Return to select the focused row. VoiceOver exposes Select, Move Up, and Move Down actions alongside the existing expand, rename, export, and remove actions; drag and drop remains available for pointer reordering.

The full interface is localized in 6 languages, switchable from the landing screen — see Change the app language.

Note

Honest scope. Orifold is built with standard SwiftUI controls, which carry system accessibility behavior by default, but it hasn’t been through a formal screen-reader audit yet. If you hit a VoiceOver or keyboard gap, please open an issue — accessibility fixes are always in scope.
