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?
