About

Soonr

Features
Read full description

Soonr is the alarm clock that forces you to get up. To silence the alarm you have to complete a mission: solve math, scan a barcode in your kitchen, say a tongue twister, do push-ups, or take a photo of your made bed. Goodbye snooze. Built for anyone who has been fighting their alarm for years and wants a morning routine that actually starts on time. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your wake-up time and the days. • Pick the mission you'll have to solve to silence it. • The alarm rings. It won't stop on its own — no mission, no silence. • Every wake-up counts toward your streak and progress. MISSIONS TO STOP THE ALARM • Mental math: addition, subtraction, times tables. • Tongue twister: say it right or the AI laughs at you. • Scan a code: a QR or barcode (your coffee jar, your shower gel). • Find an object: show the camera what it asks for. • Make the bed: make it and the AI judges the photo. • Walk: take the number of steps you choose. • Push-ups and squats: the sensor counts every rep. • Match the colour: Stroop test, colour vs. word. • Type a sentence: with no typos. BUILT TO ACTUALLY WORK • Daily streak: it tracks wake-ups on time, not promises. • Custom tones: use the audio from your own video or clip as your alarm. • Real AlarmKit alarm: it rings even when your phone is on silent. • No account required: the app works without signing up (optional Sign in with Apple to save your progress). RYSE PRO SUBSCRIPTION Soonr requires a subscription to unlock the missions and use the alarm. You can try it free before paying anything.
