Core promise
Every control is labelled, every transition is narrated, and playback is fully drivable from the lock screen or any connected Bluetooth accessory.
blint
Watch your subscriptions, hands-free.
An iPhone app that turns YouTube into a channel-surfing experience built around VoiceOver — browse subscribed channels, hear what a video is before it plays, and move between them without hunting for small on-screen controls.
The concept
Sign in once. After that, everything is built for ears and gestures rather than eyes and precise taps.
Who it's for
Blind and low-vision users who want to watch content from channels they already follow, without depending on a sighted layout to find the next video.
Status
Built and in pre-launch — working through App Store submission.
Key features
What it does.
Features
- Browse YouTube subscriptions and continue where you left off.
- Spoken video details — title, channel, duration, publish date — before each video plays.
- Play, pause, next, and previous from the lock screen or a Bluetooth accessory.
- Fully VoiceOver-annotated controls, with swipe and hardware-key navigation throughout.
Design principle
Narration is the interface.
Most accessible apps add labels to a visual layout. blint inverts it: the audio sequence is the primary design artifact, and the screen is what happens to be showing while you listen.
