Get Up. Actually Get Up. Roosta is an alarm that keeps ringing until you complete a task that proves you're out of bed. No snooze. No skip. No turning it off and going back to sleep. Choose your missions the night before; complete them before the alarm stops. PROVE YOU'RE AWAKE Roosta doesn't just ask if you're awake. It checks. The camera counts your reps, and other missions use your camera or microphone to verify you've done them. It happens on your device, and nothing it captures is uploaded. 13 MISSIONS. UP TO 3 PER ALARM. WAKE THE BODY Push-Ups — Do your reps while Roosta counts. Squats — Get on your feet and get moving. Sit-Ups — Get off the floor and do your reps. Dance — Keep moving in front of the camera. The clock runs only while you do. Shake — Shake your phone until the meter is full. Make Your Bed — Make it, then take a photo. Touch Grass — Go outside and prove it. Picture of Sky — Take a photo of the sky. Item Search — Find a specific item and take a photo. WAKE THE MIND Math — Solve a set of problems. Memory — Watch the sequence, then repeat it. Typing — Copy the text exactly as shown. Reading — Read a passage out loud while Roosta listens. STACK UP TO THREE One mission is the default. Add a second and a third to the same alarm: they run back to back, each with its own settings, and the alarm doesn't stop until all are done. SET YOUR OWN NUMBERS Reps, shakes, questions, seconds of dancing, words to type, things to find — you set the number, mission by mission. Math, Memory and Reading use Easy, Medium or Hard. Item Search only hunts things you own. Reading has 10 passages built in, or write your own. STILL AWAKE? Getting out of bed is one thing. Staying up is another. Set a check-in a few minutes after your mission: Roosta rings again until you type a short line to prove you're still up. It doesn't affect your streak. ALARMS LOCK BEFORE BED A few hours before your alarm, your settings lock. You can't change the time or turn it off. That's the point: an alarm you can switch off when you don't feel like it is no challenge at all. STREAKS THAT ACTUALLY COUNT Your streak counts only the mornings you actually completed. You can't edit it or add missed days. Two mornings a week are protected: the alarm still rings, but the first two you miss won't break your streak. They reset every Monday. Setting no alarm isn't a way around it: a blank morning counts the same as one you slept through. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Your wake-up times over the last two weeks, how long your missions take, and how consistent your mornings are — from what actually happened, none of it editable. YOUR MORNING STARTS THE NIGHT BEFORE Tell Roosta how much sleep you want and it works out your bedtime and reminds you when it's near. You can also block distracting apps until you're up.
