In short

Riser: Alarm Buddy is an iPhone alarm clock that cannot be snoozed. To switch it off, users complete a quick camera-checked mission such as push-ups, squats or an item hunt, while a virtual buddy earns coins and grows an island with each morning they get up. It is aimed at people who want help becoming a morning person, and it stands out for processing camera frames entirely on the device without recording or uploading them.

About

Meet your wake-up buddy. Riser is the alarm clock you can't snooze, with a little friend who's counting on you. When it rings, finish a quick mission to switch it off: push-ups, squats, an item hunt or a brain warm-up. Then your buddy flies off to work and grows a cozy island with every morning you win. Sleep in, and your buddy feels it. Become a morning person, together.

What you get:

- A wake-up buddy who works, earns coins and gets promoted when you rise

- Wake-up missions your camera counts: push-ups, squats and Item Hunt

- No snooze button, and Escape-proof mode that brings the alarm back if you stop it without doing your mission

- An island to build: 30 things to place, new islands and a daily market

- A real sky and weather that match where you live

- Bedtime reminders based on your alarm and sleep cycles

- Streaks, letters, achievements and vacations on your days off

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Riser uses Apple's AlarmKit and Vision. Camera frames are analysed entirely on your iPhone and never recorded or uploaded. No account needed.
