An alarm you have to earn.
Do the job to silence it – math, push-ups, a code taped across the room.
Optionally, it drops short workouts into the rest of your day.
Most alarms trust you to make action. Bad idea.
Rizen makes you prove it. Then it doesn't leave you alone for the rest of the day.
It keeps ringing until you're on your feet and you've done a small job: solve a quick problem, scan a code you taped across the room, tap a sticker on the kettle, knock out a set of push-ups, or show it the bed you just made. Do the job and it goes quiet. Skip it and it doesn't.
Pick how you get up:
► A real workout – push-ups, squats, or a plank, counted by the camera
► Math, when you just need your brain to switch on
► A hard shake, when you'd rather move than think
► A QR code stashed in the bathroom, so there's no solving it from under the covers
► An NFC tag by the coffee machine
► A photo of the bed, actually made
► A photo of the toothbrush, or anything else you'd prefer
Then keep moving, all day:
Getting up is one thing. The other 16 hours are the problem.
► A movement plan drops short workout alarms between two times you pick. 8 squats mid-morning. 5 push-ups after lunch. A 30-second plank before dinner.
► Small enough that you can't talk yourself out of it. No gym, no changing, no hour to find.
► Let Rizen pick the exercises, or set every rep yourself.
► The camera counts, so a set only counts if you actually did it.
► It all lives in one card. By evening those scraps add up to a full workout you never had to schedule.
Make it sound like you:
► Use the built-in tones, or bring your own – an MP3 from Files, your own voice, even the audio pulled out of a video. It rings on the lock screen too.
It rings no matter what:
► Gets through silent mode and Focus, even if you've force-quit the app
► Starts quiet and climbs, and the volume buttons won't shut it up mid-mission
It keeps you honest:
► Win the morning and your streak grows
► Miss one and you're back to day one. That stings on purpose.
And for the other end of the day:
► Drift – a bedtime soundscape. Layer rain, tides, a stream, and soft noise into your own mix, set a fade-out timer, and fall asleep. It plays you down, then goes quiet on its own.
Earn the silence.

Finally, I found an alarm clock that actually gets me out of bed!
JuliaLindenTree
I love that I have the option to complete a quest to make sure I’m fully awake instead of just hitting snooze. On the rare occasions when I wake up before my alarm, I can even complete the challenge early. The customization options are fantastic too, I can tailor the app exactly the way I like it. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the feedback!
Rizen Alarm Review
XRobertoT
Been using the app for a while, and I can say it’s definitely made it harder for me to ignore my alarms in the morning. The app is also very easy to use, and the concept and design are very clean. The reason why I’m giving it a 4/5, is that I wish to see more customization options and some additional challenge types in future updates. Overall its a very solid app, and I recommend it to anyone who struggles to wake up!!
I’m no more a snooze lord
Caramelq2223
This alarm has really helped me a lot, like I was a snooze lord for other alarms which made me always late to my planned activities, but since I started using this alarm I can’t snooze 😭 and it’s been really great and stopped me from procrastinations. Kudos
The best alarm
Britojosi
Honestly, this is the best alarm I’ve tried. It helps me wake up in a better mood, stay consistent with my goals, and makes my mornings feel more enjoyable. I actually look forward to using it!
