Your alarm does not end on the nightstand. It ends in the kitchen, at the RiseUp Tag. No snooze. No negotiating. You get up.
There is no other way to turn it off.
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.
Source: Snooze alarm use in a global population of smartphone users, Scientific Reports 2025. Based on around 3 million nights. Germany ranks among the countries with the heaviest snooze use.
End it: buy RiseUp →Get up → walk over → scan. That simple. That inescapable.
Kitchen, bathroom, living room or garage: anywhere but next to your bed. Your Tag marks the spot where your morning starts.
The guided setup walks you through: scan the Tag, pick its location, run a test. Done in two minutes.
An alarm without an assigned Tag cannot even be saved. The hurdle is built in from the start.
Your screen shows one thing only: where your Tag is. Get up, walk over, scan. Only then is there silence.
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.
For real emergencies the alarm can be ended without the Tag 3× per month. No more than that.
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.
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.
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.
You pay once for the Tag, the app is a free download. Native for iOS and Android, in 11 languages, with light and dark mode. An alarm without an assigned Tag cannot even be saved.
Free and without subscription. The app collects no data about you, read the details here.If that does not work for you, do not buy it.
No more half-asleep limbo, but a morning with substance. This is what it looks like when your alarm only rings once:
Tag scanned, confirmed briefly five minutes later. Your head is on its feet before it can negotiate.
Coffee and scrambled eggs at home instead of a croissant to go: that saves a good 3 to 4 € per morning.
Reading, stretching, a proper shower. A morning routine grows out of minutes won, not out of half-sleep.
No sprint to the train, no guilty conscience. You were awake while others were still snoozing.
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.
Every Tag is handmade in Germany, checked and shipped from here.
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.
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.
Tag and app, ready to ship.
