Getting started
Accommodated helps you identify, request, and track workplace accommodations when you live with a chronic condition, disability, or long-term health condition. Work through one ste
Choosing your jurisdiction
Choose the country where you work in More › Preferences › Rights framework. Accommodated supports the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland.
Deciding whether to disclose
Disclosure means telling an employer enough about a health condition, disability, or work-related limitation for them to understand what support may be needed. Accommodated does no
Demo mode
Demo Mode lets you explore Accommodated with sample conditions, limitations, requests, and plans before entering real information.
Finding accommodations
The Accommodation Finder suggests practical changes you can consider, organised by category and informed by the conditions you choose. Suggestions are starting points, not a findin
Limitation Translator
The Limitation Translator turns an everyday description of a work barrier into a clearer, work-focused draft. For example, difficulty concentrating late in the day can become a req
Rights reference
Rights Reference is a plain-language starting point for the workplace laws, schemes, and official guidance connected to your selected country.
Access to Work helper
Access to Work is a UK government scheme that may fund practical workplace support for people with a disability or physical or mental health condition. It is separate from an emplo
Disclosure Risk Assessment
The Disclosure Risk Assessment is a structured reflection on whether, when, and how much to tell an employer. It is a thinking tool, not a score or recommendation.
Writing a request letter
The request-letter wizard builds an editable workplace accommodation request in small steps. Nothing is sent automatically.
Conversation timeline
The conversation timeline is a dated record of a workplace request: who you contacted, what happened, what was agreed, and what remains unresolved.
Evidence tools
Accommodated+ includes tools that organise your own records and highlight patterns. They help you prepare; they do not produce legal findings or medical evidence.
Return-to-work planner
The Return-to-Work Planner helps you draft a phased return after absence. It is a proposal to discuss, not medical clearance or an instruction to increase hours.
Backup & restore
A backup is a readable .accommodatedbackup archive containing app records and available attachments. Backups are separate from CloudKit sync and are not encrypted by Accommodated.
iCloud sync
iCloud Sync is optional and off by default. Without it, Accommodated uses the local store on this device. Backups and exports remain separate choices.
Exporting & deleting data
More › Data contains CSV export and Delete All Data. These controls affect different copies of your information, so review the scope before acting.
Notifications & reminders
Accommodated uses local iOS notifications for optional request follow-ups and saved formal-deadline prompts. Cocoacorn does not operate a push-notification server.
App Lock
App Lock adds a device-authentication screen when you return to Accommodated after leaving it. Enable it in More › Preferences › Privacy.
Using Tended, Metered, and Tolerated
Accommodated can use small, compatible summaries published by Tended, Metered, or Tolerated. Each app still works independently, and Cocoacorn does not receive the exchanged record
Where is my data?
Accommodated is local-first and has no Cocoacorn account, analytics service, advertising SDK, or developer-operated server for your workplace records.
What’s included in Accommodated+?
Accommodated's core discovery, rights, initial-request, Access to Work, and safety controls remain useful without a purchase. Accommodated+ unlocks additional preparation and docum
