The problem

One snooze is
never just one.

At night you are full of plans. In the morning your thumb wins on the snooze button. Not because you are weak, but because your half-awake brain always takes the easiest path. And that path is 30 centimeters from your head.

How does RiseUp work?

One ritual.
Zero excuses.

Get up → walk over → scan. That simple. That inescapable.

1

Place the Tag

Kitchen, bathroom, living room or garage: anywhere but next to your bed. Your Tag marks the spot where your morning starts.

2

Set your alarm

The guided setup walks you through: scan the Tag, pick its location, run a test. Done in two minutes.

3

Required, not optional

An alarm without an assigned Tag cannot even be saved. The hurdle is built in from the start.

4

When it rings

Your screen shows one thing only: where your Tag is. Get up, walk over, scan. Only then is there silence.

5

The double check

Five minutes after the scan, RiseUp checks in again: scan the Tag once more or the alarm returns. You choose how many confirmations you want in the app.

6

The emergency stop

For real emergencies the alarm can be ended without the Tag 3× per month. No more than that.

RiseUp Tag: handmade in Germany
The Tag

Built so it cannot lie to you.

Not a throwaway sticker but an object: handmade in Germany from high-quality plastic, magnetic, holds without glue or drilling. No battery, no charging, no wear. Where does it go? Anywhere with metal: fridge, radiator, extractor hood, washing machine. The only rule: a different room than your bed.

  • Made in Germany, handmade from high-quality plastic
  • Neodymium magnet, holds on metal without glue or drilling
  • Splash-proof, made for the bathroom
  • No battery, no power, lasts for years
The app

Native. Reliable. Incorruptible.

Native for iOS and Android, not a web app. The alarm rings even in silent mode and with Focus on. Deleting the app? Does not kill the alarm. There is exactly one way out, and it hangs on your fridge.

  • Works offline, no internet needed
  • Wake-up confirmation: confirm once, five minutes after the scan. You set the number yourself
  • Choose your Tag location: kitchen, bathroom, living room, office, bedroom, garage or a custom spot
  • Snooze baseline in onboarding: tell the app how often you used to snooze and it calculates your time saved
  • Light and dark mode, 11 languages, fully native

The streak

Consistency becomes visible.

Every morning the streak view shows you what your new rhythm is worth. Your snooze baseline from onboarding serves as the comparison, meaning how often you used to hit snooze.

  • Days in a row, with milestones from 3 to 100 days
  • Time saved in minutes, compared with your old snooze habit
  • NFC scans and snooze counter at a glance
  • Weekly overview and goals you can review and adjust any time

Getting started

What happens in the first two weeks.

DAY 3 The walk still feels strange
  • You still shuffle into the kitchen half asleep
  • No snoozing anyway, it simply is not possible
  • Coffee is ready earlier than usual
DAY 7 The first milestone stands
  • Seven days in a row in your streak view
  • Reaching for the phone in bed gets rarer
  • The app shows your first minutes saved
DAY 14 Force becomes routine
  • Getting up and scanning happens without thinking
  • Your morning has room for something else again
  • You barely notice the Tag on the fridge anymore

Honestly

What RiseUp cannot do.

  • Your phone needs NFC. Without NFC the Tag does not work.
  • If you take the Tag to bed with you, you defeat the whole point.
  • RiseUp does not track your sleep. It wakes you up, nothing more.
  • If you sleep through every alarm, you will sleep through this one too.

If that does not work for you, do not buy it.

Your new morning

The time you win is yours.

No more half-asleep limbo, but a morning with substance. This is what it looks like when your alarm only rings once:

06:31 Awake. Actually awake.

Tag scanned, confirmed briefly five minutes later. Your head is on its feet before it can negotiate.

06:45 Breakfast instead of a bakery bag

Coffee and scrambled eggs at home instead of a croissant to go: that saves a good 3 to 4 € per morning.

07:15 Time that belongs to you

Reading, stretching, a proper shower. A morning routine grows out of minutes won, not out of half-sleep.

08:00 Relaxed into the day

No sprint to the train, no guilty conscience. You were awake while others were still snoozing.

Buy now · 29,99 € At 3 to 4 € saved on bakery runs per morning, RiseUp pays for itself within a few weeks.
Why not just an alarm app?

Willpower is not available at 6:30 am. Distance is.

Every alarm app negotiates with you: solve a math problem, shake the phone, take a photo. All things you can do in bed. RiseUp does not negotiate. The only off switch is a physical object in another room. By the time you get there, you are awake. The rest of the morning runs on its own.

No trick. Just physics: your bed is here. Your Tag is there.

Origin

From Germany.

Every Tag is handmade in Germany, checked and shipped from here.

  • Ships the next business day from Germany
  • Support straight from the people who build it
  • Warranty under German law
About us

RiseUp exists because I did not get up.

I was never a morning person. Every alarm lost against me: swiped away half asleep, snoozed endlessly, slept on. The plan at night, the thumb in the morning.

At some point it was clear: I do not need another app. I need an action I cannot negotiate with. So I built myself an alarm that can only be turned off by scanning a physical tag, and tested it on my own daily life. It worked. For the first time in years I got up when it rang.

Then friends tried it, with the same effect. Affordable, set up in minutes, genuinely effective. It was not a one-off. The self-experiment became RiseUp: app and Tag that build a ritual together.

RiseUp comes from northern Germany. That is also where every Tag is made. Made in Germany is not a slogan for us, it is where we are from.

FAQ

Quick answers

Because an app does not solve the actual problem. Any alarm app can be swiped away in bed. Not RiseUp: the alarm only ends once you have gotten up and scanned the Tag in another room. The difference is not the software, it is the distance.

When traveling, just take it with you, it fits in your pocket. And for real emergencies there is the emergency stop in the app: up to 3× per month even without the Tag. Enough for exceptions, too little for cheating.

At 6:30 am it is not last night's resolution that decides, it is your half-awake brain. And that brain always takes the easiest path. RiseUp makes the easy path impossible, so you no longer need discipline.

Your package ships the next business day and then takes 1 to 3 business days within Germany, where shipping is free. We also deliver across the EU and to Switzerland; costs and delivery time depend on the destination and are shown at checkout. For deliveries to Switzerland the recipient pays customs and import duties.

All current iPhones and Android devices with NFC. The app is native for iOS and Android, in 11 languages.

Yes, 14 days right of withdrawal like with any online purchase. The Tag does not have to be unused.

Nothing that helps you. The alarm is scheduled at system level and keeps ringing after the restart until you scan your Tag.

No. Alarm and Tag verification run completely offline on your phone. Even in airplane mode.

No. There is no account, no sign-up and no server of ours. Your alarms and your streak live on your device and travel with your own iCloud or Google account backup, so they survive a phone upgrade. We cannot access any of it. Details are in the app's privacy policy.

Five minutes after the scan, RiseUp checks in once more: scan the Tag again or the alarm continues. You set the number of confirmations in the app. Going back to bed is not worth it.

Very unlikely: no battery, no electronics that age. If it does happen: the emergency stop ends the alarm up to 3× per month even without the Tag. Enough time to order a replacement. Your statutory warranty applies regardless.

You can switch your phone off, sure. But then you lie awake in bed knowing you lost. Most people get up. That is exactly what RiseUp is built for.

Anywhere with metal: fridge, radiator, extractor hood, washing machine. The neodymium magnet holds without glue or drilling. The only rule: a different room than your bed.

One is enough. A second one is handy if you switch between kitchen and bathroom, travel a lot or want to start together with someone.

No. You pay once for the Tag, the app is free and there is no subscription. The app has exactly one optional purchase: restoring a lost streak. You do not need it, everything else is included at no extra cost.

The RiseUp Tag, a quick-start card with the way into the app, and your invoice. Nothing else is needed, the Tag has no battery and no accessories.

Tomorrow morning decides your day.
