Everything it does, nothing it doesn't.
Small on purpose. Each feature earned its place by solving something real.
An alarm you can't outsmart
It rings through silent mode and Focus like the system clock. Stop it from the lock screen and it re-arms itself, so the half-asleep swipe buys you nothing.
Get up to turn it off
The only thing that ends the alarm is finishing a wake mission in the app: a set of math problems at the difficulty you chose, or showing your camera a toilet. Wrong answers reroll the problem, so you can't brute-force one question.
Force-quitting doesn't work
The moment the mission opens, Rizen hands a chain of backup alarms to the system. Kill the app and they still fire, because iOS is holding them, not Rizen.
Morning app blocking (Pro)
You got out of bed - now don't get back in, digitally. Finish the mission and Instagram, TikTok, X, or whatever else pulls you in locks for 15 to 120 minutes, then unlocks on its own. It runs on Apple's Screen Time, so Rizen only ever sees anonymous app tokens, never your usage.
Wake-up streaks and patterns
Every morning you get up is logged. Rizen shows your consecutive-day streak, your best streak, your average wake time, how consistent your week was, and a 30-day grid of the mornings you showed up.
Wake to whatever you want (Pro)
Custom alarm sounds, plus an in-app trimmer for clips longer than the 30 seconds an alarm can ring, so you pick the exact section that gets you moving.
The snooze button doesn't exist, and neither does force-quitting.
Stopping the alarm from the lock screen re-arms it. Killing the app doesn't help either, because Rizen pre-schedules backup alarms with iOS before you ever get the chance. The only way out is standing up, opening the app, and proving you're awake.
The alarm stops when you're standing in the bathroom, not when you say so.
Set an alarm to the photo mission and the only way to end it is pointing your camera at a toilet. Recognition runs on your device with Apple's Vision framework, so no photo is saved and nothing leaves your phone. If you're somewhere you can't, a math fallback is right there on the screen, so you're never actually trapped.

The things people ask.
Rizen is on the App Store.
An anti-snooze alarm that rings through silent mode and Focus and keeps coming back until you get up and finish a wake mission. The moment you do, it locks your most addictive apps so you don't trade the snooze button for a doomscroll.
