The missions

Four ways to earn your silence

A Risly alarm doesn't have an off switch — it has a mission. Each one is engineered to drag your brain out of sleep mode, gently or ruthlessly. You choose the fight.

Gets you out of bed

Object Scan

Pick an everyday object when you set the alarm — your toothbrush, the coffee machine, the bathroom soap. When the alarm fires, the only way to silence it is to walk there and scan it with the camera.

  • On-device object recognition checks it's the real thing — no cheating with a photo of a photo.
  • Forces actual movement: once you're standing at the coffee machine, going back to bed feels absurd.
  • Best for: people who can dismiss any alarm without opening their eyes.

Wakes the brain

Math Chains

Chained mental-math problems, calibrated so you can't autopilot through them. Your prefrontal cortex has to come online — and that's exactly the part of your brain that decides to get up.

  • Difficulty tiers from warm-up arithmetic to genuinely mean chains.
  • Wrong answers reset the chain. The alarm keeps ringing.
  • Best for: people who wake up physically but stay mentally asleep for an hour.

Zero excuses

Shake

Shake your phone hard, and keep shaking. The accelerometer measures intensity and duration — a lazy wobble under the duvet doesn't count.

  • Calibrated thresholds: your arm is genuinely awake by the end.
  • Works anywhere — no camera, no light needed at 5am.
  • Best for: minimalists who want friction without leaving the bed. Yet.

Ruthless mode

Push-ups

Prop your phone against the wall, get down, and push. The camera counts your reps on-device. The alarm stops when the set is done — and by then, so is your sleepiness.

  • Vision-based rep counting, processed entirely on your iPhone.
  • Configurable set size, from 5 gentle reps to morning-workout territory.
  • Best for: people who want the alarm clock and the workout coach in one.
