Accessibility and privacy

A VoiceOver-friendly dog puzzle, with local data.

Paw Atlas is designed so a puzzle board is understandable without speed, sound, or color recognition. The shipped app includes VoiceOver-friendly controls, Larger Text, Reduced Motion, sufficient contrast, and state cues that do not rely on color alone. Privacy follows the same local-first approach: no account, advertising, analytics, tracking, third-party crash reporting, or app-owned backend. Selected dog photos are processed on-device, metadata is removed on import, and progress stays on the device.

The useful details

What players can control

VoiceOver-friendly actions

Portrait tiles and story moments expose selection and movement actions with descriptive labels and hints.

Larger Text and Reduced Motion

The app follows system text sizing and reduced-motion preferences for a less visually demanding experience.

Clear state cues

Puzzle states use labels, structure, and interaction feedback instead of making color the only signal.

Local and ad-free

There is no Paw Atlas account, tracking identifier, advertising, analytics SDK, or app-owned server.
