About

Bellrise

Some mornings you simply can't oversleep — a flight, an exam, an early shift. Bellrise is the backup alarm built for exactly those mornings. Instead of stacking five separate alarms and hoping one works, you set a single wake-up deadline: the moment you must be awake. Bellrise automatically builds a sequence of backup alarms leading up to it, so one missed alarm never turns into a missed morning. When you're up, tap I'm Up and the remaining alarms cancel themselves. Need a few more minutes? Tap Need Backup and it rings again after your chosen delay. No snooze spiral, no second-guessing — just a calm safety net that knows which alarm is the one that matters. Bellrise is built for workdays, early flights, exams, interviews, first days, medication routines, and any high-stakes morning where one alarm isn't enough. Need to recharge during the day? Built-in nap timers help you rest without oversleeping — Power Nap, Reset Nap, Full Cycle, or a custom length. Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking, and no internet connection required. Everything stays on your device. Features: - One wake-up deadline becomes an automatic backup alarm sequence - Gentle, standard, heavy sleeper, or fully custom backup rhythms - Wake-up plan templates for work, college, school, flights, exams, and medication - "I'm Up" to cancel the remaining alarms in a single tap - "Need Backup" for a controlled few extra minutes - Skip Tomorrow and one-day time changes without losing your routine - Nap timers: Power, Reset, Full Cycle, and Custom - Custom alarm sounds and default schedule settings Bellrise doesn't replace your everyday Apple Clock alarms, and it isn't a sleep tracker. It does one job well: giving you a dependable backup plan for the mornings that matter most. Requires iOS 26 or later.
