HOW IT WORKS Set your alarm and choose a mission. When it rings, the only way to stop the sound is to finish what you picked. CHOOSE YOUR OBJECTIVE • Math Problems: solve real problems at easy, medium or hard • Type a Phrase: type it out exactly, word for word • Whack a Mole: tap the randomly appearing mole • Make Your Bed: photograph it, and it's checked to be sure it's really made • See the Sky: get to a window or step outside • Feel the Grass: go outside, properly • Scavenger Hunt: track down a random object somewhere in your home • Toilet Scan: get yourself to the bathroom • Push-Ups: record 15 seconds of real reps • Jumping Jacks: same, and it checks you actually did them • Squats: same again, when you want your legs awake too • Dance: pick a track and move to it until the song says you're up Photo and video missions are verified by AI, so a photo of a photo won't buy you ten more minutes. IT DOESN'T GIVE UP Force-quit the app and Rush comes back. The alarm keeps re-ringing until the objective is done, so the easy escapes simply aren't there. STACK THEM Chain objectives together for the mornings you can't afford to lose. Solve the math, then do the push-ups, then find the object. Nothing stops until all of them are done. THE FOLLOW-UP RING Rush can check in ten minutes later to make sure you didn't crawl straight back under the covers. BLOCK WHAT PULLS YOU BACK Getting up is one thing. Staying up is another. Choose the apps that steal your mornings and Rush locks them the moment you finish your objective, for anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. Set it per alarm, so the apps you block before work can differ from the ones you block at the weekend. WATCH YOURSELF CHANGE • Rush Calendar: every morning you won, in green • Streaks: see how many days in a row you've held • Awards: medals for the milestones you pass • Analytics: your wake-up times, response times, and how consistent you're becoming SUBSCRIPTION Rush requires a subscription to use. • Weekly: $1.99/week • Yearly: $19.99/year - includes a 3-day free trial for new subscribers Prices in USD; local pricing may vary by region.
