Make reading comfortable

Writing size
Adjust the editor’s typography and reading width in Settings. Use system text and zoom settings where supported by your device.
Six themes
Choose warm light, paper, coastal, rose, forest dark, or midnight colors. Pick the contrast that works best for you.
Native editing
Cub uses the platform’s text controls for selection, undo, spellcheck, and input methods. Markdown source mode keeps the underlying text available.
Navigation
Notes, tags, tasks, outline, and backlinks provide multiple routes through the notebook. Controls expose labels and state to assistive technology.

What has been reviewed

Prior Mac and iPhone/iPad Simulator checks exercised VoiceOver labels, keyboard navigation, common editor tasks, Settings, and larger-text layouts. Those checks led to fixes for focus, labels, contrast, and clipping.

We have not completed physical iPad testing. Coverage of a particular screen or release does not establish every workflow on every device. App Store accessibility feature claims remain subject to the current candidate’s common-task review.

VoiceOver, Voice Control, keyboard support, text scaling, contrast, and reduced motion are assessed separately. We do not treat one as proof of the others.

Tell us about a barrier

Send the device and operating-system version, Cub version/build, theme and text size, the assistive technology you use, and the steps that block your work. A small disposable example can help.
