$19.99 Lifetime Unlock — total, forever. No subscription, no ads, no account. Planned launch price. One payment, yours for life.
Ring → mission → silence. Checked by your phone, not a server.
Snooze requires one second of consciousness. Missions require all of it.
The alarm rings
On time, at full volume — through silent mode, battery savers, and restarts. If your phone is on, your alarm rings.
You complete your mission
Math, typing, push-ups, a QR code across the room — the mission you picked the night before. The noise doesn't stop until you're demonstrably awake.
You earn your silence
Mission verified — on your phone, never a server. The alarm goes quiet, your streak grows, and the day starts with a win already behind you.
Built to make waking up the easy option.
Dismissal is earned, not tapped. Every mission is a real check your sleeping self can't fake.
Every earned morning extends the chain. Breaking a 23-day streak costs more than getting up ever does.
If you allow snoozing at all, each one shrinks. The bed stops being a negotiation you can win.
Mission complete. Silence earned. The most satisfying quiet your phone will ever produce.
Pick your proof.
Pick the mission the night before; the alarm won't go quiet until it's done. Everything is checked by your phone itself — even the camera missions. Nothing is recorded, uploaded, or sent anywhere.
Math
Solve arithmetic problems at your chosen difficulty. Your half-asleep self can't do math without waking up — that's the point.
Typing
Type a phrase exactly, autocorrect off. Muscle memory won't save you; reading and precision require an awake brain.
Shake
Shake the phone until the counter hits zero. Simple, physical, and impossible with your eyes still closed.
Push-ups
Do your reps in front of the camera — your phone watches your form and counts the honest ones. Nothing is recorded or uploaded, ever.
Photo Match
At night, photograph your wake-up spot — the bathroom sink, the coffee machine. In the morning, the alarm stops only when you photograph it again.
QR / barcode
Scan the exact code you registered and taped across the room. The off-switch now lives somewhere sleep can't follow.
Movement Match
Record a move at bedtime — a stretch, a silly dance. Repeat it in the morning; the phone matches it on-device.
Memory
Watch the pattern flash, then repeat it — three rounds, each longer. A working-memory warm-up before the noise stops.
Steps
Walk a set number of steps, counted by the phone's own sensors. Get vertical, get moving, get on with the day.
It rings. Every time.
On Android, RiseProof sets its alarms the same way your phone's built-in clock does — so they get the same special treatment. Your alarm rings on time even if the phone was restarted, the battery saver kicked in, or you left it on silent all night. And if your particular phone has an aggressive battery setting that can interfere, RiseProof spots it during setup and shows you exactly which switch to flip. No quietly-failed mornings.
On iPhone, we're honest: on iOS 26 and newer, RiseProof uses Apple's AlarmKit for real system alarms that ring through the silent switch and Focus modes (with one disclosed catch — iOS always shows a system Stop button, and using it without your mission breaks your streak). On older iPhones, no third-party app can set true system alarms, so RiseProof works best kept open on your nightstand while charging — it even has a dimmed bedside clock mode for exactly that. Most alarm apps hide this; we'd rather you know before your first important morning. The curious can read the full story on iPhone alarms or how we make Android alarms bulletproof.
Other alarm apps show you testimonials. We show you receipts.
We can't show you 75 million users — we haven't launched. What we can show you is the stuff marketing can't fake: how the app is actually built.
networkPolicy.test.tsThe build fails if we spy
An automated test in our codebase fails the entire build if anything on the wake-up path makes a network call. Privacy isn't a policy here; it's a test suite.
RECORD_AUDIO: absentNo microphone. On purpose.
The app never requests microphone access — the permission is stripped from the app itself, so it can't listen even if it wanted to. Check the store listing's permission list when we launch.
escape hatch: guaranteedAn alarm, not a hostage situation
A deliberately slow emergency escape always exists — hold ten full seconds, confirm, streak broken. And if a camera mission's verification fails three times, it swaps to math instead of trapping you.
servers: 0Nothing to leak
No account, no cloud, no analytics on your sleep. Your alarms, streaks, and photos live in a database on your phone. Our privacy policy fits on one screen because there's nothing to disclose.
The long version: the one-screen privacy policy and why an alarm app shouldn't need the cloud.
$19.99 Lifetime Unlock. That's the whole price.
$19.99, once — every mission, unlimited alarms, and all future updates included. There is nothing else to buy, ever. An alarm clock has no recurring costs — so it has no business charging recurring prices. Planned launch price. One payment, yours for life.

Frequently asked questions
When can I get it?
RiseProof is in final development for Android and iOS — neither store listing is live yet. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email when it launches (and nothing else). The waitlist is also where early-access invites will come from.
Is it really a one-time purchase?
Yes. The $19.99 Lifetime Unlock is the only purchase in the app — $19.99, once, and that's it. No subscription tiers, no consumables, no ads, no upsells. Updates are included. (Planned launch price. One payment, yours for life.)
What's free and what's paid?
The free tier is a full, reliable alarm with three missions — math, shake, and photo match — never a crippled trial. The Lifetime Unlock adds every mission, unlimited alarms, and your full streak history.
How do missions get verified without a server?
Your phone does all the checking itself — the math answer, the typed phrase, the scanned code, even the camera missions. No photo or video ever leaves your phone, there's no account, and nothing needs the internet. The alarm works exactly the same in airplane mode.
Will the alarm survive a restart or battery saver?
On Android, yes. RiseProof sets alarms the same way your phone's built-in clock does, so they ring on time after restarts, app updates, and time changes, and battery savers don't silence them. If your phone brand has an unusually aggressive battery setting, setup shows you exactly which switch to flip.
What about iPhone?
On iOS 26 and newer, RiseProof uses Apple's AlarmKit — real system alarms that ring through the silent switch and Focus modes. One honest catch: iOS always shows a system Stop button we can't hide; pressing it without doing your mission breaks your streak. On older iPhones, third-party apps can't set true system alarms, so RiseProof works best kept open overnight on the charger — there's a dimmed nightstand clock mode for exactly that. We tell you all this up front instead of letting you find out the hard way.
What data do you collect?
Purchase state (processed by Apple or Google, not us) and standard crash logs. That's the entire list. No account, no analytics on your sleep, no server that ever sees your alarms or streaks.
How does $19.99 compare with Alarmy or Erly?
Alarmy's most-promoted plan annualizes to roughly ≈$60/year (Alarmy's most-promoted plan is billed weekly and annualizes to roughly $60/year; as shown in-app as of 2026, varies by region and plan); Erly is $24/year. Over five years that's about ≈$300 or ≈$120 respectively, versus $19.99 once for RiseProof.
Can I turn the alarm off without doing the mission?
There's a deliberately slow emergency escape — hold a button for ten full seconds, then confirm — so a broken sensor can never hold you hostage. It's annoying enough that you'll never use it half-asleep, and using it breaks your streak.
Be first in line for day one.
RiseProof is coming to Android and iOS. One email when it launches — early-access invites come from this list too. The mission alarm with no subscription. Pay once, wake up forever.
