LittyUp is an alarm clock with eight wake-up challenges, scheduled app blocking and a customizable companion. Choose how to stop your alarm, build your morning routine and earn stars with Litty. EIGHT WAYS TO STOP YOUR ALARM Solve math problems, remember a path, find a character in a moving crowd, match Litty's accessories, shake your phone, scan a saved barcode or QR code, find a bright spot with the camera, or walk with Litty while holding your phone. Choose one or more challenges. Each alarm picks one from your selection. Try them in practice mode before your next alarm. If you need help during an alarm, switch to another available challenge. ALARMS THAT FIT YOUR WEEK Set one-time or repeating alarms, choose weekdays and alarm sounds, adjust your next morning or skip a planned day. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose the apps and websites to block during your morning routine. Blocking lasts for your configured window, even after you complete the alarm challenge. Schedule evening blocking around your next alarm and planned bedtime. App blocking is optional and requires Screen Time permission. COLLECT COMPLETED MORNINGS AND GIFTS Track your completed mornings and calendar history. Missed days do not reset your total. Collect daily stars and milestone gifts, then spend stars on accessories to dress up Litty and save your favorite outfit. REVEAL YOUR MORNING PHOTO Opt in to a candid selfie when you finish an alarm challenge, then reveal it in the evening. Photos stay in your private on-device gallery unless you choose to save or share them. KEEP YOUR ROUTINE IN VIEW Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your next alarm and progress. Live Activities show scheduled app-blocking countdowns. Requires iOS 26 or later. Light and barcode challenges use the camera, as do optional selfies. Walking requires Motion & Fitness permission. No account is required. SUBSCRIPTION An active LittyUp Premium subscription is required to activate and run alarms and Shields. Monthly and yearly plans are available.
