Founded in 2010 by David Goodwin, AppleVis is the go-to resource for blind and low vision users of Apple technologies. With an active, engaged user base and a vast collective understanding of vision accessibility on Apple's platforms, members of our community support each other in accessing the maximum potential of Apple hardware, software, and services.
What We Offer
AppleVis offers a number of free resources to assist and empower blind and low vision users of Apple products and related applications:
App Directories
Our App Directories provide a list of iOS, macOS, Apple Watch, and Apple TV apps tested for accessibility by members of the AppleVis community. This includes a listing of iOS and iPadOS apps developed specifically for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Discussion Forum
The AppleVis Forum is open to any and all Apple-related discussion.
* In 2024, AppleVis expanded its forums to include new areas dedicated to Assistive Technology, Windows, Android, and Smart Home Tech and Gadgets. This decision followed a successful pilot project and was made in response to our growing community's diverse interests and needs. Many members had expressed a desire to discuss technology topics beyond our traditional Apple-centric scope but still relevant to empowering people who are blind or visually impaired. While Apple accessibility is our primary focus, these new forum areas allow our community to share their expertise on a wider range of technologies.
Podcasts
The AppleVis Podcast features community-submitted app demonstrations, interviews with developers, and a monthly Apple news round-up.
Blog
The AppleVis Blog features both editorial content and news of interest to blind and low vision users of Apple products.

The Guides and Tutorials section contains a comprehensive collection of community-contributed articles that provide helpful tips, tricks, and step-by-step instructions on how to use various Apple products and related items.
Hardware and Accessory Reviews
The Reviews section provides honest and informative member contributed reviews of various hardware and accessories that can be used with Apple products.
Get Involved
The best way to contribute to our community is by sharing your knowledge on the forums, app directories, or through user-submitted content. Your insights empower fellow members to access the maximum potential of Apple hardware, software, and services.
You can also help more blind and low vision Apple users discover our community by sharing links to AppleVis on your website, blog, or social accounts. Word of mouth is impactful too, so tell others about the support and information here.
Together we can build an even stronger community of Apple enthusiasts who exchange expertise to enhance accessibility and support each other in getting the most from Apple technologies.
