wake up, not war up.

The alarm that doesn’t let you snooze your life away.

Ryli is a daily alarm app built around wake-up missions. Math when you’re foggy. A shake when you’re sluggish. A photo of the sky when you need a reason to look up. Designed for the mornings that used to win.

the truth

You’re not lazy. You’re working against your biology.

Most adults wake up in light sleep, where your prefrontal cortex — the part responsible for decisions like “should I get up?” — comes back online slowly. That’s why a single tap to snooze feels rational at 6 AM and insane at 8 AM. It’s not weakness. It’s neurology.

Ryli is built around this. Every alarm requires a small physical or mental task to dismiss. By the time you’ve solved a math problem or hunted down a specific object in your room, your brain has woken up enough to make the choice you actually wanted to make last night.

how it works

Three steps. One morning at a time.

Shake

the companion

Meet Ryli.

Most alarm apps are tools. Ryli is someone who’s rooting for you.

Ryli is a fox. Not the kind that bites — the kind that sits at the end of your bed, waits for you to wake up, and remembers when you did. Three days in a row? Ryli notices. Tough morning? Ryli’s still there tomorrow. You’re not accountable to an interface anymore. You’re accountable to someone.

Questions, answered.

iOS doesn't let any third-party alarm app guarantee playback through silent mode or Focus modes without a special entitlement Apple reserves for emergency apps. Ryli uses every legitimate technique available — background audio, local notifications, and persistent playback — the same tools every other alarm app on the App Store uses. For the most reliable experience, keep your phone off silent and add Ryli to your Focus mode exceptions.

No app can. If your phone is powered off, no software on it can run.

No. Your alarms, missions, and streak live on your device. We don't have a server that stores your personal data in Phase 1. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

Yes. Cancellations happen through Apple's subscription settings, not through us. You'll keep Premium until the end of your current billing period.

Refunds for App Store subscriptions are handled by Apple, not by Ryli. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

We're focused on making iOS great first. No date yet.

Because we wanted someone warm, a little clever, and not a dog. Foxes are quiet in the morning. They suit the brief.
