Risa Alarm - Actually Wake Up
Unlock Tasks to Dismiss Alerts
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Risa is an affirmation-based alarm clock that helps you wake up with intention. Instead of silencing your alarm half asleep, you must speak a short phrase out loud. When the words match, the alarm stops. If you do not complete the wake challenge, the alarm re-alerts until you do.
Wake up with intention, not autopilot. Risa combines a calm, focused interface with a simple accountability loop that keeps you present in the moment you start your day.
HOW IT WORKS
1) Set a wake time.
2) The alarm rings.
3) Open the app and say the affirmation to stop it.
The default affirmation is: "I will wake up and I will be successful." You will see live transcription so you can verify what the app heard, plus a clear listening indicator that shows whether the microphone is active and whether a match has been detected.
WAKE CHALLENGE
- When the alarm fires, you can tap "Open App" and go straight into the wake session.
- The phrase is displayed prominently so you can read it immediately.
- Live transcription updates as you speak so you can adjust your words and pace.
- If you stop or dismiss the alert without matching the phrase, Risa re-alerts to keep you accountable.
FEATURES
- One-time and weekly repeating alarms with day-of-week selection.
- Multiple alarms with an organized list of upcoming wake times.
- Quick edit and delete actions for any alarm.
- A practice alarm during onboarding so you can try the flow before your first morning.
- Permission reminders when alarm or speech access is missing, with a direct jump to Settings.
- A focused wake screen with confirmation feedback and a subtle celebration when you complete the challenge.
- A fluid, glass-inspired visual style designed to stay calm in low light.
ALARM MANAGEMENT
Create new alarms in seconds and adjust them anytime. Pick a wake time with a clear wheel picker, then choose repeat days for a weekly schedule. One-time alarms are supported as well. The app shows your next alarm and keeps your list sorted so the upcoming wake time is always easy to see. When you update an alarm, Risa preserves your schedule and keeps your routine intact.
ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE
Risa guides you through a short, clear setup:
- Understand the loop (set alarm, alarm rings, speak affirmation).
- Grant alarm, microphone, and speech permissions.
- Practice the affirmation with a short countdown (5-10 seconds) so you can feel the experience.
- Choose a plan if you want full access.
WHY AFFIRMATIONS?
Speaking a short phrase out loud requires a tiny moment of intention. It is enough to break the snooze reflex, confirm you are awake, and set a positive tone for the day. Risa is designed for people who want a gentle but firm way to follow through with their mornings.
PERMISSIONS
Risa requires Alarm access to schedule and alert alarms you create in the app. It also needs Microphone and Speech Recognition access to listen for the affirmation and match it reliably. Without these permissions, alarms can ring but the wake challenge cannot be completed, so the app will prompt you with a clear reminder.
