Accessibility at ClipBuddy

A clipboard manager everyone can use, VoiceOver, keyboard-first, motion- and contrast-aware

Last verified against the shipped app on

ClipBuddy is built keyboard-first, the picker, settings and paywall are all fully operable without a mouse, and it honors the macOS accessibility settings you already use, system-wide, with nothing to configure inside the app.

VoiceOver

  • Every clip card, icon button, toggle and Vault card tile carries a descriptive VoiceOver label.
  • Rotor actions on clip cards: Copy, Pin and Delete without leaving the card.
  • Tab changes, search context and confirmations (“Copied”, “Pinned”) are spoken as announcements - the visual HUD is never the only feedback.

Full keyboard access

  • One keystroke opens the picker (⌘⇧V, rebindable); typing filters; arrows navigate the grid; ⏎ acts on the selected clip.
  • A complete keyboard-shortcuts reference lives on ⌘/ inside the picker.
  • Focus rings are visible on every focusable control, including the paywall.

Reduced Motion

  • When macOS Reduce Motion is on, ClipBuddy collapses its animations to instant transitions - no sliding, scaling or pulsing anywhere in the app.

Contrast & color

  • Increase Contrast strengthens borders, text and control edges throughout.
  • Reduce Transparency replaces glass and blur with solid fills.
  • Differentiate Without Color Alone: color is never the only signal, selection states, category chips and status badges always pair a glyph or text with their color.
  • Dark Interface: a full dark theme across every screen, menu and control (follow-system, or forced light/dark from the picker).

Text size

  • Picker text scales through four sizes (Compact / Default / Large / XL) from a single button - no digging through settings.

Voice, on-device

  • Optional voice search transcribes entirely on your Mac (no audio ever uploaded), speak a query instead of typing it.
