Contraste1.0

Contraste checks text for accessibility against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), giving developers a direct way to examine text during software work. WCAG supplies the reference for that examination, connecting the task to recognized guidance for accessible web content. The standard frames the review around accessibility criteria rather than general editing or proofreading.

It suits developers, designers, and accessibility specialists who need to assess text associated with an interface or other product content. Typical use includes reviewing wording during a development pass and checking it again when that content changes. It is also relevant to people responsible for interface copy who want accessibility considerations included in their review process. The tool can sit alongside content decisions in a broader software-development workflow.

Contraste runs on macOS and supports Intel and Apple Silicon architecture. It is freeware, so use does not involve a paid license requirement. The current release is version 1.0, presenting a focused utility for standards-based text accessibility checks on Mac development projects.
