Is the RiseCheck Task Alarm Right for You?
Last updated:
A task alarm is not for everyone. Some people want a bit of extra push to get out of bed. Others just want a simple ring.
Here is who RiseCheck suits, and who may want something simpler.
It suits you if you
- Keep switching the alarm off and falling back asleep. You may be a heavy sleeper.
- Want to wake with a task: some sums, shaking your phone or walking some steps.
- Like seeing your wake-up streak and your average wake-up time for the week.
- Prefer no account. Your alarms and records stay on your iPhone.
It may not suit you if you
- Have an iPhone that is not on iOS 26.1 or later. You cannot install it.
- Only want a plain ring and no task. An ordinary alarm is enough then.
- Want to see your records on several devices. They stay on this iPhone.
- Need photo, barcode or stacked-task alarms. Those are Pro, which is a subscription.
Quick check
- Check your iPhone runs iOS 26.1 or later.
- Decide which task you could do half asleep: sums, shaking or walking.
- Set one alarm. See how to set a task alarm.
- Read how to get out of a task when you need to: backup task and emergency close.

Where do I download it?
