Set alarms with intention. Make the choice to get up and moving on time. This alarm takes 20 steps to stop, to make sure you are up and moving to start your day. Emergency Room doctors, nurses, paramedics, fire fighters, and other first responders involved in time critical medical and disaster roles are frequently required to work in long continuous shifts. Missing or being late to a shift means keeping often exhausted co-workers on duty in your place, which can endanger the health and safety of the public at large. This app is designed to deliver time critical notifications to these personnel in a way that ensures these crucial transitions take place as needed and on time. Whether that means moving to a new station, checking on a co-worker, or waking from some well deserved sleep, this app makes sure you get moving on time. Sound and visual UI elements immediately alert the user that a critical time period has elapsed or is set to begin and should not be ignored or paused for a later time. There is no snooze button, and there is only one way to silence the alarm - movement. The app counts your steps and makes sure you get up exactly when you meant to. On time. Every time.

RiseReps is the alarm clock that won't let you cheat yourself. No snooze button. To turn off your morning alarm, do your reps: push-ups, squats, or jumping jacks, counted in real time by your camera. Skip them and it rings again. In Full Lockdown, Instagram, TikTok and your other distracting apps stay blocked the moment your alarm rings, and unlock when your workout is done. HOW IT WORKS Set your wake-up time, pick your exercise and repeat days, and try the camera rep counter during setup. When the alarm rings, prop up your phone and move. Your camera verifies every rep with on-device pose detection. Hit your number, dismiss the alarm, and start the day with a win. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T WAKE UP Heavy sleepers, chronic snoozers, and anyone trying to wake up early and build a morning workout routine. You can't half-wake-up through 15 push-ups. By the time the alarm stops, you're already up. CHOOSE YOUR STRICTNESS - Standard: rings again at +3, +8 and +12 minutes until you do your reps. - Persistent: re-rings for 14 minutes, then reminds you every minute until your reps are done. - Full Lockdown: distracting apps stay blocked until your reps are done (up to 3 hours), using Apple's Screen Time controls with your permission. AN ALARM YOU CAN TRUST Test my alarm runs a 10-second check of your alarm, sound and notification settings. If scheduling ever fails, you get a warning and a retry before your next alarm. And you're never trapped: a weekly emergency exit and a switch to squats are there if push-ups aren't counting. BUILT-IN PROGRESSION Start easy. Your rep count grows each week, turning one alarm into a real fitness habit. ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER AND ARENA Pair with a friend, see each other's streaks, and send a nudge when they need the push. Compete on daily and weekly Arena leaderboards with verified morning workouts, or keep yourself off the public boards. Optional iCloud features require an iCloud account. STATS AND STREAKS Track your streak, completed workouts, total reps, and wake-up times. Discipline you can see. YOUR PRIVACY Pose detection runs entirely on your device. Camera images and video are never recorded or uploaded. SUBSCRIPTIONS RiseReps Pro unlocks camera-verified alarm workouts, strictness modes, progression, the accountability partner, and stats.
