RiseCheck

RiseCheck is an alarm clock for people who turn alarms off in their sleep. To stop the repeat rings, you finish a short mission: solve a few sums, shake your phone, walk some steps, photograph a spot in another room, or scan a barcode. WHY IT WORKS • Built on Apple's own alarm system: it rings through Silent mode and Focus, even when the app is closed. • Pressed Stop in your sleep? Backup rings follow every two minutes, up to five times. Open RiseCheck and finish your mission to stop them. • An optional wake-up check rings once more a few minutes later, so you do not fall back asleep. FAIR WHEN YOU ARE HALF ASLEEP • Big buttons and a large number pad on a clean, bright screen. • Three failed tries? You get an easier backup mission instead of being stuck. • Emergency off is always there: type one sentence and the alarm stops (that morning does not count toward your streak). SEE YOUR MORNINGS IMPROVE • Streak of good mornings, skipping days with no alarm. • Average wake-up time this week compared with last week. • Extra rings counted, so you can see when you are getting better. FREE • Unlimited alarms, repeat on any days. • One mission per alarm: math (three levels), shake or walk. • Test ring during setup, so you hear it work before you trust it. RISECHECK PRO • Camera missions: photograph a spot (like your bathroom sink) or scan a barcode (like your toothpaste). Photos are compared on your phone and never leave it. Free users can watch a short video to try camera missions for one night. • Squat and push-up missions: the front camera counts reps on your phone. Nothing is saved or uploaded. • Stack several missions on one alarm. • Wake-up check with 3, 5 or 10 minutes. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription. The yearly plan may include a free trial for new subscribers. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. The free version shows ads; Pro has no ads. Your alarms and history stay on your phone. Available in 20 languages. Requires iOS 26.1 or later. RiseCheck uses the phone's own alarm volume (Settings › Sounds & Haptics).

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RiseCheck at none against App Lock's shown. RiseCheck also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). App Lock's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
