Wake up, stop scrolling in bed
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Take back your mornings. Block distracting apps until you reach your step goal or verify a morning photo—now with a redesigned, personalized setup.
Free Trial. No account required. No ads.
(Paid features)
Rise keeps your chosen apps locked until you physically get out of bed. Walk your step goal, or snap a photo of something across the room — your toothbrush, the kettle, the front door. Only then do your apps unlock.
WHY IT WORKS
The first 30 minutes after waking is when your self-control is weakest and your habits are strongest. That's why "just don't check your phone" never works. Rise doesn't ask for willpower. It removes the option until you've already stood up.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose which apps to lock — social, news, email, whatever pulls you under.
Set your wake-up window. Different schedules for weekdays and weekends.
Pick your unlock: steps, or a photo of a real object.
WHAT YOU GET
Lock any app on your phone during your morning window
Two unlock methods — movement or a real-world photo
Custom wake windows for any day of the week
Wake-up stats showing whether you're getting up earlier or later
No account. Photos are checked, then deleted — never stored
Your morning starts when you get up.
Rise keeps distracting apps locked until you do.
