Compare Measured Animation Durations in Normal and Reduced-Motion Modes
A reduced-motion preference needs real behavior, not just a media-query name. Compare observed durations and identify unchanged or lengthened transitions while keeping duration distinct from motion intensity and accessibility compliance.
1 · animation label | normal duration milliseconds | reduced-mode duration milliseconds
FIRST-LOAD
HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE — checkout unavailable. Calculation is local. A draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available; Reset to sample clears it. Optional Pro history stores only five summaries and has its own deletion control. State links encode your inputs and can remain in browser history, clipboard or recipients’ records; share only non-sensitive rows. Optional external AI formatting leaves this device. The required site analytics beacon reports page activity; shared URLs contain encoded inputs. Do not treat an encoded URL as private. The calculator has no input-collection endpoint.
Data note: The motion-duration indexcard processes animation label | normal duration milliseconds | reduced-mode duration milliseconds locally. Starter/sample selection and Run compute in this tab; no input is sent by the calculator. A local draft may be saved; explicit state-link sharing or optional external AI formatting can disclose inputs. Use non-sensitive labels.
Perspective: Before: a reduced-mode label could conceal unchanged duration. After: measured mode differences are visible and static originals are kept out of percentage arithmetic.
2 · Read the motion-duration indexcard
Duration arithmetic only, not an accessibility, medical, sensory-safety or compliance assessment. It cannot measure movement distance, flashing, essential feedback or user comfort. Test the actual reduced-motion path with users and a qualified accessibility specialist; do not treat a hundred-percent duration reduction as proof that a page is safe or accessible.
Paid layer: motion-duration indexcard filing layer
one-time step · the free reading above stays complete
Free tier
- one complete unwatermarked motion-duration indexcard run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link
What $4 one-time adds
- unlimited subsequent motion-duration indexcard app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the motion-duration indexcard with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed percent duration reduction and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE: $4 is a proposed one-time price for filing the motion-duration indexcard, not a current sales offer. No measured time saving or buyer demand is claimed. The optional manual-retyping baseline above estimates one export’s retyping budget only; it does not change the calculation or guarantee savings.

Boundary and sources
Duration arithmetic only, not an accessibility, medical, sensory-safety or compliance assessment. It cannot measure movement distance, flashing, essential feedback or user comfort. Test the actual reduced-motion path with users and a qualified accessibility specialist; do not treat a hundred-percent duration reduction as proof that a page is safe or accessible.
- Method: For a positive original, reduction equals one minus reduced duration divided by normal duration, times one hundred. A longer reduced duration gives a negative reduction. Zero-to-zero rows are described as static and excluded from the minimum; zero-to-positive is an explicit error.
- All sample records, dates, quantities and labels are invented. No outside policy, contract, rate, clock offset, measurement or accessibility standard is represented as verified.
- Google’s official pricing documentation, fetched 2026-09-30, says AI Studio is free in available regions. Optional formatting may require a Google account; manual local entry requires none. Limits can change and free-tier content may be used to improve products. Do not send private records.

Optional AI formatting, never the calculation
Manual entry completes this motion-duration indexcard for free without signup. If available to you, the free AI Studio interface linked in the sources may format fictional or non-sensitive notes; external access may require an account. No API key or AI call is built into this tool. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Review each cell and transcribe it to the labeled row schema; do not paste the JSON object into the row box.
Format only these fictional or non-sensitive notes for a motion-duration indexcard. Return strict JSON shaped as {"rows": [{"label": "string", "cells": ["string", "string"]}], "setting": "string"}. The columns are animation label | normal duration milliseconds | reduced-mode duration milliseconds; the setting is Chosen minimum duration reduction percentage. Keep all supplied strings and quantities exactly; do not calculate, infer missing entries, invent dates or add advice. If any required value is missing, return an empty rows array and ask me for it separately. I will verify every cell against my source and manually transcribe rows using vertical bars before running the local calculator.An AI response is not executed, fetched or trusted as a result. Missing values remain questions; the strict local parser checks the rows you actually enter.
