## What is Pounce?

Pounce is the alarm you can’t sleep through.

No snoozing. No switching it off and drifting back to sleep. To silence your alarm, you have to get out of bed and complete your chosen challenge—squats or push-ups.

HOW POUNCE WORKS

• Set an alarm and choose squats or push-ups
• When it rings, open Pounce and start moving
• On-device pose tracking automatically counts your completed reps
• Reach your target and the alarm stops. Simple as that.

BEAT MORNING GROGGINESS

That heavy, half-awake feeling is known as sleep inertia. Moving your body can help you shake it off. By the time you finish your reps, you’re not merely alarm-silenced—you’re awake and already moving.

BUILD CONSISTENCY

• Maintain a wake-up streak
• Track your workouts and rep history
• Choose from multiple alarm sounds
• Repeat alarms on the days that fit your schedule

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rep counting happens entirely on your device. Camera frames used for tracking are never uploaded, stored or shared by Pounce.

Stop negotiating with yourself every morning. Set the alarm. Do the reps. Start your day with a win.

Pounce requires a subscription — Monthly ($4.99) or Yearly ($29.99, includes a 3-day free trial) — billed through your Apple ID.
