Push-ups
Phone on the floor, chest to the phone. Motion counts every rep — 5 to 30, your call.
Ryser keeps ringing until you prove you're out of bed — 20 push-ups, a photo of the morning sky, a little math. 22 wake-up missions, verified on your device. No snooze. No negotiating.
Pick the time, repeat days, and a sound loud enough to mean it.
Push-ups, a sky photo, math problems — 22 ways to prove you're up.
Right through Silent, Focus, and Do Not Disturb. There is no snooze.
Reps counted by motion, photos checked by camera, brains woken by math — all on your device.
Every won morning grows your streak and lifts your balloon toward the stars.
Every mission ends the same way: you, out of bed, wide awake.
Phone on the floor, chest to the phone. Motion counts every rep — 5 to 30, your call.
Step to the window and photograph the morning sky. The camera checks it's really sky, really now.
Solve fresh problems before the ringing stops. Three difficulty levels, zero mercy.
Snap your made bed to go quiet. Day one starts with a small, verified victory.
Photograph a plant, your pet, or actual grass. Hard to do from under a duvet.
Ryser picks the mission the moment the alarm fires. You find out when it rings.
Ryser uses the iPhone's system alarm engine, so it breaks through Silent, Focus, and Do Not Disturb.
Ignore it and it comes back — again and again — until you're demonstrably out of bed.
A calm night-sky Live Activity counts down to your wake-up, right on the Lock Screen.
Every mission completes right on your device. No photos stored, no face recognition, no cloud. Ever.
There's an emergency exit — but it's slow, deliberate, and it breaks your streak. The only way out is through.
Built-in troubleshooting verifies permissions, volume, and scheduling — with one-tap fixes and a test alarm.
Your streak is a hot-air balloon. Wake up on time and it climbs — from the launch field, past the treetops, above the clouds, into the high sky, all the way to the stars. Miss a morning and you drift back down.
★★★★★"I put 20 push-ups on my 6 AM alarm. I hate it at 6:00 and love it by 6:03. Thirty-day streak and my gym sessions actually happen now."
★★★★★"The sky photo mission gets me to the window before I can argue with myself. Honestly? The sunrises have been worth the alarm."
★★★★★"It rang through Do Not Disturb when three other alarm apps stayed silent. And I refuse to let the balloon fall out of the clouds."
Correct. There's no snooze on the ring screen, the Lock Screen, or in settings. The only way the alarm stops is completing your mission — that's the whole point.
Yes. Ryser schedules real system alarms that break through Silent, Focus, and Do Not Disturb — the same way the built-in Clock app does. Backup re-rings keep coming if you try to ignore it.
22 and counting: push-ups, squats, sit-ups, shaking the phone, steps, math, memory, typing, a quiz, a sky photo, making your bed, object / pet / nature hunts, touching grass, taking your pills, a custom photo target, a verse, spoken affirmations, scanning a code you've hidden across the room — or Surprise Me, which picks one at random.
No. Mission photos are taken live in the moment as your proof — nothing is saved, nothing is uploaded, and there's no image analysis or face recognition. What's logged is the timestamp and pass/fail, never the photo.
There's an emergency exit — but it's earned, not free. It takes a deliberate wait and a press-and-hold, and using it breaks your streak. Your balloon remembers.
Ryser starts with a free trial so your first won mornings cost nothing. After that it's a small subscription — less than the coffee you'll no longer need to wake up.
Set one alarm tonight. Do one mission at sunrise. See where your balloon is in 30 days.
