RiseKeeper is built for the mornings when a normal alarm is not enough. Create real system alarms powered by AlarmKit, then add a challenge that wakes up your brain. When a mission starts, the sound pauses while you solve Math, Number Order, Typing, Memory, Odd One Out, Rule Switch, or Reverse Recall; if the visible timer expires, RiseKeeper alerts again. Features: - Real system alarms designed for iOS 26 - One-time and repeating weekly schedules - Seven previewable missions: free Math, Number Order, and Typing, plus Pro Memory, Odd One Out, Rule Switch, and Reverse Recall - Strict Mode for stop-button bypasses - Native iOS snooze with a configurable countdown duration - Optional Wake-Up Check - Wake history, snooze statistics, and streaks - Pro Wake Insights with private 7- and 30-day completion, snooze, mission-time, accuracy, and trend analysis - Sixteen alarm sounds, Pro sound recording and compatible downloaded-audio selection, plus free Files/Voice Memos import - Preview wake-up missions before saving - Four dark atmospheric backgrounds with accessible contrast - Three exclusive Pro app icons with instant native iOS switching RiseKeeper stores alarm and wake data on your device. It has no account, advertising, analytics, or tracking. RiseKeeper Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks Memory, Odd One Out, Rule Switch, Reverse Recall, mission chains, private Wake Insights, all wake-up sounds, in-app sound recording, compatible downloaded-audio selection, Wake-Up Check, and three exclusive app icons. The App Store shows the localized purchase price. No subscription, ads, or tracking. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Important: iOS always provides a system Stop control. RiseKeeper uses Strict Mode, missions, Wake-Up Check, and streak feedback to discourage bypasses; it does not claim that an alarm is impossible to stop.
