Alarm app for iPhone

The alarm you can't sleep through

Rize wakes your brain, not just your phone. Solve a quick challenge to turn the alarm off, or it rings right back.

No ads, no tracking, free to start. iOS 26 and later.

Rize
Morning alarm
That's your real time, by the way
Solve to stop
No snooze. No mercy. Just mornings.

6:30 AM. It rings.

Every other alarm dies with one tap. Yours is about to be different.

By the time you solve it, you're awake.

That's the whole trick. Your brain switches on before your thumb can betray you.

How it works

One tap can't save you. Three steps will.

01

It rings

Your alarm goes off like any other. Big time, warm sound, one button. So far, so familiar.

02

You solve

Tap Solve and a quick challenge opens. Math, memory, a photo, or push-ups. It proves your brain is actually on.

03

No escape

Leave without finishing and Rize re-arms itself. About a minute later, it rings again. Snoozing stops working.

ring, solve or it repeats That loop is the entire product. It's very hard to argue with.
Live demo

Don't take our word for it. Try to turn it off.

This phone is running the real wake-up flow. Pick a challenge, tap Solve, and see if you could escape your own alarm.

Difficulty

If you give up, watch what happens. In the app the alarm re-arms and rings again about a minute later. The demo shortens the wait so you don't fall back asleep.

The challenges

Four ways to prove you're up

Math

Solve 3 quick equations on a big friendly keypad. Simple when awake, surprisingly hard at 6 AM.

Memory

Watch a pattern light up, then repeat it from memory. Your visual cortex has to clock in too.

PRO

Photo

Photograph an object you chose the night before, like the coffee maker. You have to physically get up.

PRO

Push-ups

Prop your phone up and the front camera counts your reps live. 2, 5 or 10 depending on difficulty.

Three difficulty levels scale every challenge. The Ruthless level ships with Rize Pro.
