Accessibility

Sentinel is built to work for everyone. Every feature respects the macOS accessibility preferences you already use.

VoiceOver

Sentinel provides full VoiceOver support. Every gauge, button, and navigation element includes descriptive accessibility labels and hints so you can monitor your system without looking at the screen.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements in Sentinel are fully keyboard accessible. You can navigate gauges, menu items, and settings entirely with Full Keyboard Access, no mouse required.

Reduce Motion

When you enable Reduce Motion in System Settings, Sentinel disables all animations, including gauge transitions and fade effects, for a calmer, distraction-free experience.

High Contrast

Sentinel adapts to the Increase Contrast setting by thickening gauge strokes and increasing background opacity, making every visual element easier to distinguish.

Differentiate Without Color

When Differentiate Without Color is enabled, Sentinel displays status icons such as checkmarks, warning triangles, and exclamation marks alongside gauges so you never have to rely on color alone to understand system status.
