Rise
What Rise is
Rise is an iOS app that guides a structured morning from alarm through a focus session. Its routine combines an alarm, focus, reflection, and streak tracking. System-level alarms use AlarmKit and can ring while the phone is silent. Short focus sessions are free, while Pro sessions can run for up to 120 minutes. Streak tools provide calendar history, milestone titles, and streak freezes. After a session, users can optionally save a thought in a journal and revisit it later. Rise can record wake times and focus sessions to Apple Health, and back up settings, streaks, and journal data to iCloud. Routine data stays local; enabled iCloud sync uses the user’s private iCloud container. The maker says it cannot access personal data, and Health data remains on the device. Anonymous analytics run through PostHog in the EU and can be disabled in Settings. No account or personal information is required. A free plan and 3-day trial are available; Lifetime costs $19.99, paid once.
