Stark, a hub for accessible software design, launches a Mac app in beta

  • Stark is a suite of tools for the world’s most popular design apps. “Companies can upload their design files, which then identifies accessibility issues and suggests changes.”
  • It “offers checks and suggestions to make sure that visual materials meet accessibility standards for visually impaired people”. More than 500,000 people have used Stark’s integrated plug-ins for apps like Adobe XD, Figma, Sketch and Google Chrome.
  • Stark have now released Stark for Mac, a standalone app that works with Sketch and will soon work with Figma and Adobe XD. It allows you to detect accessibility issues at scale, rather than on a per-file basis as is the case with the plugins.
  • Stark has a limited free plan, after which it costs $60 per year for the current suite of tools. The private beta version of Stark for Mac is currently free, with pricing yet to be announced.
