Risee

Your alarm should sound like something you actually want to wake up for. Risee replaces the buzzer with a clip you picked — a sound you saved from a video you love — or with your own words, read back in a voice you choose. It rings from the lock screen, even with the app closed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste a link, share a video to Risee, or pick one from your camera roll 2. Risee keeps up to 30 seconds of its audio — the video stays where you found it 3. Trim it, name it, set a time 4. It rings on time and plays your sound OR USE YOUR OWN WORDS Type a message to your future self and choose who reads it back: Girl Bestie, Motivational Mike, Drill Sergeant Drew, Sassy Sophie or British Boss. Hear every voice before you pick — previews play instantly, and offline. BUILT TO ACTUALLY RING • Rings from the lock screen with the app closed, backgrounded or force-quit • Repeating alarms keep their schedule — set it once, and it holds across daylight saving • Six lock-screen tones: Classic, Bells, Buzzer, Thunderstorm, Warning, Bark • Your audio is prepared ahead of time, so a dropped connection can't cost you your morning • Snooze on your terms — turn it off, set the length, or cap how many times WAKE UP WITHOUT PICKING UP YOUR PHONE Say "good morning" to dismiss. Speech recognition runs on your device; microphone audio is never recorded and never uploaded. A LIBRARY, NOT A ONE-OFF • Every clip you keep is named and reusable across any alarm • Swap the sound on an alarm in two taps • See everything you've saved in one place, and clear what you don't want MORNINGS THAT ADD UP Once you've had a few, Risee shows your wake-up streak and the badges you've earned — built from mornings you actually got up for, never from numbers we made up. PRIVACY • No account and no sign-up. Your alarms and clips live on your phone • Speech recognition is on-device; nothing from your microphone is stored or sent • A link you paste goes to our resolver to fetch its audio. The clip is deleted there within minutes, and nothing about you is kept • A message you type is sent to our voice provider to be spoken aloud • Full policy: https://risee-website.vercel.app/privacy Requires iOS 26 or later. For anyone who has ever set five alarms and slept through all five. SUBSCRIPTION Risee is subscription-only — there is no free tier. • Pro Yearly: $39.99 per year, starting with a 7-day free trial (about $0.77 a week) • Pro Weekly: $6.99 per week The free trial is on the yearly plan only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Risee at none against ShiftWave's shown. ShiftWave's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
