## What is Roostr?

Roostr is the alarm app for people who can't trust themselves with a snooze button. Instead of dismissing the
alarm and falling back asleep, you wake up to a real task you have to finish before your phone goes quiet.      
  
Roostr is built for chronic snoozers, late risers, and anyone whose morning starts with three alarms and an     
apology. It turns the worst part of your day into something you have to engage with, not something you can swat
away with one eye closed.

How Roostr works:
1. Set your alarm and pick a wake-up task the night before
2. In the morning, your rooster sounds the alarm and gives you the task                                         
3. The alarm doesn't stop until you finish it
                                                                                        
Task examples:  
• Find an object the app picks for you (verified by AI, not the honor system)
• Snap a photo of something specific in your room                                                               
• Solve math problems
• Do a few pushups                                                                                        

Why Roostr works:
• You can't fake out an AI photo check the way you can with other alarm apps
• Tasks are short enough to do half-asleep but engaging enough to wake you up                                   
• Your rooster reacts to your morning, so it feels like someone's actually waiting for you
• Streaks give you something to lose                                                                            
                  
What's inside:                                                                                                  
• Unlimited alarms
• Multiple wake-up task types
• Streak tracking
• Detailed wake-up insights
                                                                                         
Pick your task tonight. Wake up on time tomorrow.
