Early Riser is a free alarm app with one twist: you have to read a quote out loud to turn it off. Pick your own quote or affirmation when you set up the app. In the morning, read the words on your screen, and the app checks with secure speech recognition that you actually said it (not just tapped snooze and rolled over). Do it every day and you'll build a streak! What's included: • Speech check confirms you're actually up, not just silencing the alarm • Daily streaks with a calendar view so you can see your progress • Earn points and hatch eggs to collect pets • Widgets for your home and lock screen show your streak without opening the app • Everything stays on your phone, fully secure and private • Free, no subscription Set your wake-up window, pick some quotes, and see how long a streak you can build. Highly recommended for anyone trying to start a new healthy habit!
