Fix a screen's accessibility warnings

Bitácora checks contrast, touch size, small text and unnamed elements on every screen, and lets you fix them all with one note.

The accessibility box opens with a contrast warning and a size warning, and they are added as a note.

Every time a screen changes, Bitácora checks its accessibility. If it finds something, the screen's label shows an icon with the number of warnings, in the color of the most serious one.

See the warnings

  1. Click the icon with the number on the screen's label.
  2. Accessibility of opens with the screen's name: errors first and, within each, from top to bottom.
  3. Hover over a warning to see which element on the screen it refers to.

What is checked

WarningWhat it asks forIt is an error if
ContrastAt least 4.5:1 between text and its background (3:1 for large text)It drops below 3:1
Touch sizeTappable areas of at least 44 × 44 pxIt drops below 32 px
Small textText of at least 12 pxIt drops below 10 px
Image without descriptionEvery image with its alt textIt is always a warning
Control without a nameEvery field with its labelIt is always a warning

Fix them

At the bottom of the panel you have two buttons:

  • Add as a note: all the warnings become one note, with a point on each element, and they are fixed in your next run.
  • Run them all now: the same, but they are fixed right away, with your API key or your connected AI.

If a warning does not matter to you (for example, small text that is on purpose), click its X to dismiss it. Dismissed warnings stay in their dropdown, where you can Restore them.

Who can do it

Anyone can see the warnings. Add as a note requires Can review and comment; Run them all now and dismissing warnings require Can run with AI (without that role, the buttons do not show).
