About

Riser

Read full description

Meet your wake-up buddy. Riser is the alarm clock you can't snooze, with a little friend who's counting on you. When it rings, finish a quick mission to switch it off: push-ups, squats, an item hunt or a brain warm-up. Then your buddy flies off to work and grows a cozy island with every morning you win. Sleep in, and your buddy feels it. Become a morning person, together. What you get: - A wake-up buddy who works, earns coins and gets promoted when you rise - Wake-up missions your camera counts: push-ups, squats and Item Hunt - No snooze button, and Escape-proof mode that brings the alarm back if you stop it without doing your mission - An island to build: 30 things to place, new islands and a daily market - A real sky and weather that match where you live - Bedtime reminders based on your alarm and sleep cycles - Streaks, letters, achievements and vacations on your days off PRIVATE BY DESIGN Riser uses Apple's AlarmKit and Vision. Camera frames are analysed entirely on your iPhone and never recorded or uploaded. No account needed. Only do movements you're comfortable with. Bedtime tips are general wellness guidance, not medical advice. All features described above requires a subscription. Start with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan, or choose monthly or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
