Mission mode

Stop hitting snooze: choose a different wake-up routine

Choose a mission or use normal alarm mode without a mission.

Grogginess on waking

Sleep inertia is the temporary grogginess you may feel after waking. Its duration varies.

Snoozing and your schedule

Research does not show that snoozing is universally harmful. If it makes you late, changing your alarm routine may help.

Plan your morning

Choose your wake-up time and mission before bed. Risly is an alarm tool, not a treatment for sleep problems.

The Risly answer

Remove the choice, win the morning

  • A mission stands between you and silence

    With a mission enabled, complete the selected task to stop the alarm. Choose a mission or use normal alarm mode without a mission.

  • Built on AlarmKit, Apple's alarm framework

    Risly uses AlarmKit to schedule alarms that ring through silent mode and Focus.

  • No snooze button anywhere

    Not hidden, not buried in settings: nonexistent. The negotiation your half-asleep brain wants to have simply has no interface.

Not ready to hand the decision to an app? We go through what actually works here: How to stop hitting snooze.
