Risly

Risly is an anti-snooze mission alarm clock for iPhone (iOS 26+) designed for heavy sleepers who struggle to wake up. Unlike standard alarms, Risly requires you to complete a physical or mental mission before it stops ringing. The alarm bypasses silent mode, Focus, and Do Not Disturb, ensuring you can't ignore it. Whether you need to scan a coffee machine, solve math problems, shake your phone, or do push-ups, Risly turns waking up into a challenge you can't negotiate with.

What Makes Risly Stand Out

• No snooze button: The app removes the snooze option entirely. Once the alarm rings, the only way to silence it is to complete the mission.
• Unstoppable alarm: Built on Apple's AlarmKit, Risly rings at full volume through silent mode, Focus, and Do Not Disturb. Force-quitting the app won't stop it.
• Four wake-up missions: Choose from Scan (photograph an object), Math (solve chained problems), Shake (vigorously shake your phone), or Push-ups (camera counts your reps). Each is designed to get you out of bed and alert.
• Streaks and progression: Build a morning streak that unlocks grades from Apprentice to Legend. Track your average wake-up time, response speed, and favorite mission in the Insights dashboard.
• Privacy-first design: All camera processing (scan object, count push-ups) happens on-device. Images never leave your iPhone.

Who Should Use Risly

• Heavy sleepers who sleep through standard alarms or habitually hit snooze will benefit from Risly's mission-based system that forces physical or mental engagement.
• People with inconsistent morning routines who want to build a habit of waking up on the first alarm and start their day with purpose.
• Early risers seeking a challenge who want to gamify their mornings and track progress over time.

What are the limitations of Risly?

Risly requires iOS 26 or later and is currently only available on iPhone. The freemium model offers a 3-day free trial, after which an annual subscription is required. Additionally, the push-ups mission uses the camera for rep counting, which may not work in very low light conditions.
