Set
Set one real alarm
Choose your wake time, sound, and the challenge most likely to get you moving.
Coming soon to iOS and Android
The alarm that makes you earn your morning.
A rooster wakes you up. He won't stop until you finish a quick challenge.
One mission replaces your stack of backup alarms.
No snooze escape hatch.
3 wake checks after you finish.
4 alarms. Same promise.
3 snoozes. Still in bed.
1 morning already behind.
Not laziness. Sleep inertia.
Your sleepy brain is very good at making one bad deal.
A normal alarm asks for one easy swipe. Roost changes the action: think, move, or leave the bed before the sound stops. Then it follows up so "awake for 30 seconds" doesn't become "asleep for another hour."
“I don't need a louder alarm. I need an alarm I can't outsmart while half asleep.”
The exact problem Roost is built to solve.
How Roost works
One alarm. One mission. A morning you actually start.
Pick the challenge that breaks your autopilot. Roost handles the escalation and checks that you stayed up.
Solve
Earn the off button
Solve math, repeat a memory pattern, take a photo, or complete squats. No passive swipe.
Stay up
Prove you stayed awake
Wake checks arrive after the alarm. Miss one, and Roost can bring the original challenge back.
Choose your wake-up style
Your challenge should be harder than your excuses.
Think, move, or get up. If a challenge can't be verified, Roost switches to a reliable backup so you never get trapped.
Math that cuts through the fog
Fresh problems every morning, with difficulty that grows without turning into a trick question.
Repeat the pattern
Watch the sequence, then tap it back in order.
Squats counted on-device
Your front camera tracks the movement. No internet needed.
Photograph something across the room
Roost picks an object like your sink, toothbrush, or front door. You have to go find it.

Beyond the first alarm
Getting up is step one. Staying up is the real win.
Roost's wake verification keeps an eye on the dangerous minutes after you silence the alarm. Ignore a check and the original alarm can return.
- Three checks over the next 20 minutes
- Short general-knowledge questions
- A clear backup path if a challenge can't be verified
A reason to keep going
Watch better mornings add up.
Build a streak, unlock medals, and wake your rooster up with you. Roost turns getting out of bed into progress you can see.

We take alarm reliability seriously — here's what to expect.
No. Roost replaces snooze with a challenge and escalating audio. The point is to end the negotiation, not schedule another one.
Roost falls back to a dependable challenge like math or memory. A failed camera, connection, or verification service should never leave you trapped.
Yes. Roost rings even with Do Not Disturb on and the silent switch flipped, and your alarms are saved on your phone, so no signal is needed.
Android, and iPhone with iOS 26 or newer. On iPhone the alarm still rings with the app closed, but you can turn it off without the challenge; on Android the challenge always holds.
