App Settings & Preferences

A dedicated settings screen reduces support burden by empowering users to adjust the app to their personal needs without contacting administrators. For accessibility-sensitive user groups - stroke survivors in NHF, visually impaired users in Blindeforbundet - the ability to adjust font scale, contrast mode, or notification behavior is directly tied to usability and WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. Keeping personal preferences separate from organizational configuration creates a clear separation of concerns that reduces accidental misconfiguration. Offline persistence of preferences ensures consistent UX even without connectivity, supporting the platform's offline-first architecture and the diverse digital skill levels of the user base.

Implemented as AppSettingsScreen backed by AppPreferencesService and AppPreferencesRepository. Preferences are stored in the Drift local database and optionally synced to the backend for cross-device consistency. The service layer abstracts storage from the UI, allowing individual settings to migrate between local-only and synced modes independently. Accessibility settings integrate with Flutter's MediaQuery and Semantics layers, applying immediately without restart. Settings state is provided via a Riverpod StateNotifier, ensuring reactive UI updates across the app when preferences change. WCAG 2.2 AA requires the settings screen itself to be fully keyboard-navigable with visible focus indicators on all interactive controls.
