Wake up. Prove it. Rise.
Most alarm apps stop at making noise. Rizen turns your alarm into a launchpad — a no-snooze wake-up followed by the morning routine you always meant to build.
Your alarm fires — no easy off switch
No snooze-tap escape. The alarm keeps going until you complete the wake-up mission you chose the night before. You earn the silence.
Complete your mission
Solve math, walk 30 steps, scan the QR code on your bathroom mirror, do push-ups, or make your bed. By the end, you're standing, moving, and actually awake.
Flow into your ritual
Rizen rolls straight into your morning ritual — gratitude, journaling, breathing, planning — at the exact moment you're most likely to follow through.
Pick the mission that gets you out of bed
Every mission is designed to break sleep inertia a different way — mental effort, physical movement, or making you leave the bedroom entirely.

A calmer morning, from first ring to lights out
The routine finally sticks when it starts at your alarm
Habit apps fail because they're detached from your day. Rizen attaches your routine to the one moment you never skip: waking up.
- 13+ guided rituals — gratitude, journaling, meditation, breathing, reading, prayer, planning, affirmations, and more
- One seamless flow — mission ends, ritual begins; no app-switching, no lost momentum
- Insights — see what you complete, what you skip, and how your streak grows
Good mornings are built the night before
Rizen closes the loop with an evening ritual, app blocking, and Sleep Mode — so tomorrow's alarm meets a rested you.
- App blocking — Rizen locks YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and more during wind-down so you stop scrolling at night
- Sleep Mode — calming soundscapes carry you from your last ritual into sleep
- Body scan & mood tracking — check in with yourself and close the day with intention

Read the guide →Frequently asked questions
How does a mission alarm clock work?
A mission alarm keeps ringing until you complete a task that proves you're actually awake — solving math problems, walking a set number of steps, or scanning a QR code in another room. Rizen includes 12 wake-up missions, so you can't dismiss the alarm half-asleep from bed. Learn more →
Will Rizen wake up a heavy sleeper?
Yes. Rizen is built for heavy sleepers: the alarm can't be silenced until you finish a mission, and physical missions like walking, push-ups, or shaking your phone force your body to move — which clears sleep inertia far better than a louder ringtone. Learn more →
How do I stop hitting the snooze button?
Remove snoozing as an option. With Rizen, dismissing the alarm requires completing a mission first, so the half-asleep snooze tap stops working. By the time the mission is done, you're alert enough that crawling back into bed loses its pull. Learn more →
What wake-up missions does Rizen have?
Twelve: math problems, walking steps, object hunt, typing a passage, QR/barcode scan, memory game, push-ups, squats, shake the phone, photo of the sky, make your bed, and touch grass. Learn more →
Can Rizen make me solve math to turn off the alarm?
Yes. The math mission makes you solve arithmetic problems before the alarm stops. You choose the difficulty, and the mental effort fires your brain up so you wake alert instead of groggy. Learn more →
Can Rizen block apps at night?
Yes. During your evening wind-down window, Rizen can block distracting apps like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok so you stop doomscrolling in bed and actually fall asleep on time. Learn more →
Does Rizen help me wake up earlier?
Yes. Rizen pairs a Smart Alarm with a consistent evening wind-down and a morning ritual worth getting up for. Reliable wake-up + earlier nights + a reason to rise is how you move your wake time earlier and keep it there. Learn more →
Is Rizen free?
Rizen is free to download and includes a limited free experience. A subscription (Rizen Pro) unlocks continued access to mission alarms, rituals, app blocking, and insights. See it on the App Store →
What iPhone or iOS version does Rizen need?
Rizen requires iOS 26 or later on iPhone or iPad. It's built on Apple's AlarmKit, so alarms ring reliably — even alongside Focus modes. Check compatibility on the App Store →
How is Rizen different from Alarmy?
Both use missions to stop the alarm. Rizen keeps going after the alarm: guided morning rituals, an evening wind-down with app blocking and sleep soundscapes, plus streaks and badges — a full morning-and-evening system, not just a loud alarm. Learn more →
