What Is Stark?

Stark is an end-to-end accessibility platform that integrates tools for identifying and resolving accessibility issues across design, development, and live products. It fits into the accessibility category by embedding checks and automation directly into existing workflows like Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, browsers, and GitHub. Available on a freemium pricing model, Stark supports teams in maintaining compliance without switching applications.

• Provides contrast checking with color suggestions to meet WCAG AA or AAA standards.
• Offers vision simulation for color blindness and other impairments, plus typography analysis for legibility.
• Generates alt-text annotations and focus order visualization in design tools.
• Supports live preview in browsers for testing changes like contrast and font sizes directly on code.
• Delivers real-time reports, insights, and project management in a web app for team-wide monitoring.
