Eleven wake missions now, squats and item hunt included. Rings through Silent, DND and Focus. Every time. Try everything free for a week.
For people every other alarm has failed.
Rooster is built on Apple's own alarm engine, the same system framework the iPhone's own Clock app uses. That means it rings through the Silent switch, Do Not Disturb, and every Focus mode. Every time. With the app closed. After a restart. At full volume, even when your ringer is at zero.
START WITH A FREE WEEK.
Setup ends by starting a free week of Rooster Pro, an auto renewing subscription you can cancel anytime. Every feature is yours for those seven days, nothing is charged up front, and if you cancel, the basic alarm keeps working. No ads. No account. Repeat schedules, custom labels, snooze rules you control, a nap timer for quick recharges, and a one tap alarm test that proves your phone will ring.
A SNOOZE CAN NEVER DISMISS.
Snooze and stop live at opposite ends of the screen, and a snooze always rings again. That's enforced by the system, not by a promise.
PRO: THE PART THAT GETS YOU OUT OF BED.
Stack up to three missions that must be completed before the alarm stays quiet:
• Math: three difficulty levels
• Steps: walk it off, counted by your phone
• Photo match: photograph your bathroom sink to prove you're up
• Scan: the barcode on your toothpaste
• NFC tag: stick one across the room; works in the dark
• Shake: the gentle one
• Typing: copy the wake phrase, letter by letter, or set your own
• Memory: the tiles flash, you tap them back
• Pushups: the front camera counts your reps
• Squats: stand back, the camera counts every rep
• Item hunt: Rooster names something in your home, you go find it. A new target every wake, zero setup
Pro also brings twelve bundled alarm sounds with Shuffle so your brain never learns one tune, escalation that rings louder every round, and your own alarm sounds.
EVERY MISSION HAS AN ESCAPE HATCH.
Hold ten seconds, type "I give up", and the alarm stops. It always works, even with a broken camera. Rooster makes waking effortful, never impossible.
WAKE CHECK.
Dismissed the alarm and gone back to sleep? Five minutes later Rooster asks "Still up?" If you don't answer, it rings once more. Part of Pro, and on from the start for every new alarm you create with Pro.
PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE.
Mission photos are compared on your phone and never uploaded. There is no account, no ads, and no tracking. What leaves your phone is crash reports and usage signals under random IDs, never your alarms or photos.
HONEST PRICING.
A yearly plan with a week free to test everything, plus one simple alternative. Every price shows the full amount you pay, right on the screen. No weekly tricks, no surprise tiers.
SCHEDULES THAT MATCH REAL LIFE.
Skip picked dates on the calendar so the holidays stay silent. Pause everything until the day you fly home, and alarms come back on their own. Set a one time alarm on a future date for the appointment you cannot miss. All part of the basic alarm.
Rooster is for heavy sleepers, deep sleepers, shift workers, and everyone who currently sets fifteen alarms to survive one morning. Replace them with one that cannot fail.

I used Rooster as my actual alarm for a full week and it worked really well for me. The biggest thing I wanted to test was reliability because I normally use different Focus modes on my iPhone.I tried it with Do Not Disturb, Sleep and Driving Focus, as well as Silent Mode, and I also tested Silent Mode together with Focus. The alarm still went off properly every time I tested it.The app is easy to use and I like that it is made for people who need something stronger than a basic alarm. After using it for a week, the main thing I appreciated was that I could set my alarm and feel confident that it would actually wake me up.So far I haven’t experienced any major bugs. Very useful alarm app, especially for heavy sleepers.

Great alarm

You need this app if you need something reliable to wake you up. I like all of the different missions, it is a unique way to hold you accountable. My favorite part is that I can put my phone on silent and I do not have to worry about a phone call or text waking me. It is easy to use and I highly recommend!
Developer Response

Nearly fired

My manager had had enough after two years and nearly fired me for multiple callouts and late arrivals so I decided to give rooster a try, because after all, I fully intend to get up every and go to my job, but I’m not in a sound state of consciousness well enough to make myself get up out of the bed when I snooze or turn off my simple alarms.Forcing me into more complex brain function in order to silence the alarm is just……… 🤌🏻💋 *chefs kiss Thank You Rooster 🐓 💗 Ps. The prices aren’t bad at all especially not now that I’m on schedule with work better 😂😂😂
Developer Response
This made our day. Keeping the job is exactly what Rooster is for, and "forcing more complex brain function" is the best description of a mission we have read. Congrats on being on schedule. If a morning ever gets rough, write to arshpreet@billionweb.co and we will sort it out. 🐓
