## What is Rouse?

Rouse is the alarm for people who lie to themselves about "just five more minutes."

It won't stop ringing until you complete a mission — snap a photo of the spot you set up in advance, solve a math problem, shake your phone until you mean it, or repeat a memory pattern. No mission, no silence.

WHY ROUSE IS DIFFERENT

• Built on iOS's native AlarmKit — Rouse rings through Silent Mode and Focus, with the same system-level alarm Apple's Clock app uses.
• A guard system brings the alarm back if you try to dismiss it without finishing the mission.
• Complete visual worlds, not color swaps — each theme has its own clock face, wake-up scene, mission skins and sounds.
• You choose how hard it fights back: Zen (a mission, with an emergency exit) or Normal (no snooze, no skip).

FOUR MISSIONS

• Photo — capture the same spot every morning (bathroom sink, coffee maker) to prove you're actually up.
• Math — solve equations before the alarm goes quiet. Easy, Medium or Hard.
• Shake — shake it out, no half measures.
• Memory — repeat a pattern to wake your brain along with your body.

STAY ON TRACK

• Wake streak — see how many mornings in a row you've beaten your alarm, with this week at a glance.
• Evening nudge — a bedtime reminder with tomorrow's alarm, or a heads-up if you haven't set one.
• Share your morning — a themed card with your wake-up time and streak.
• Siri & Spotlight — "Set a mission alarm in Rouse", "When is my next Rouse alarm".
• Lock Screen widget and Live Activity for your next alarm.

FREE FOREVER

All four missions, every difficulty, Zen and Normal modes, three themes (Sunrise, Retro, Mono) and unlimited alarms. No ads.

ROUSE+

• Neon, Kawaii and Anime theme worlds, plus every future theme pack
• Hardcore mode — leaving the app won't save you
• Mission chaining — three missions in a row

Rouse+ is available as a weekly subscription with a free trial for new subscribers, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your reference photos and motion data never leave your phone. No account, no login, no tracking.

Stop negotiating with your alarm. Complete the mission, or don't get your morning back.
