Your Phone Won't Unlock Until
You Actually Wake Up
Riselock doesn't just remind you to do your morning routine. It locks your phone until you PROVE you're awake. Scan a QR code. Get sunlight. Take a selfie with your eyes open.
The average user saves 1.5 hours of morning screen time.

The Problem
Screen Time Limits Don't Work. You Just Tap "Ignore."
Sound familiar?
- You set screen time limits. You dismiss them every time.
- You download habit apps. They remind you, but don't enforce.
- "Just 5 more minutes" turns into 2 hours of scrolling in bed.
- You start every day feeling drained before you've even begun.
What if you couldn't dismiss it?
- Your phone is locked until you complete a real action.
- You have to physically get out of bed to scan a QR code.
- You prove you're awake with a selfie (eyes must be open).
- You start every day with a win, not a scroll.

6 Unlock Challenges
Choose How You Prove You're Awake
Mix and match to build your perfect morning routine. Each challenge is designed to get you physically awake.
📍
QR Code Scan
"I put a QR code in my bathroom"
Print a QR code and stick it somewhere. Bathroom mirror. Kitchen. Balcony. You physically have to go there to unlock.
☀️
Sunlight Verification PREMIUM
"This app forces me to touch grass"
Go outside and stay in a GPS-verified sunny spot for 2 minutes. Walk away? Timer resets. You have to actually get sunlight.
📸
Selfie Check PREMIUM
"The app knows when I'm faking"
Take a selfie. But here's the catch: AI detects if your eyes are closed. No more "I'm totally awake" with your eyes shut.
📳
Shake Challenge
"I look insane but I'm awake"
Shake your phone 50 times. But only AFTER you've walked 20 steps first. Get your blood pumping.
🚶
Step Counter
"100 steps or no TikTok"
Walk 100 steps before your phone unlocks. Pace around your apartment. Walk to the kitchen. Just move.
📝
Morning Journal
"Can't scroll until I write"
Write for 45 seconds. Gratitude, goals, brain dump - whatever you want. Just 45 seconds of intentional thought before mindless consumption.
Safety First
You're Always In Control
Emergency Override
Type "UNLOCK" to bypass immediately. It breaks your streak, but you're never truly locked out.
Noon Fail-Safe
Apps automatically unlock by noon, no matter what. You can never be locked out permanently.
Essential Apps Work
Phone, Messages, and Maps are always accessible. Block only what distracts you.
FAQ
Common Questions
How does Riselock actually lock my phone?
We use Apple's official Screen Time API - the same technology used for parental controls. You choose which apps to block (social media, games, etc.) and which challenges unlock them. Phone, Messages, and Maps always work.
Can I cheat the challenges?
We've designed each challenge to be cheat-proof. The selfie uses AI to detect closed eyes. The QR code requires physical location verification. The sunlight check uses GPS. You actually have to do them.
What if I really need my phone in an emergency?
Three safety nets: (1) Phone, Messages, Maps always work. (2) Type "UNLOCK" for immediate access (breaks streak). (3) Everything auto-unlocks by noon regardless. You're always in control.
Is this available for Android?
iOS only. Android doesn't provide the same level of app-blocking APIs. We may explore Android when (if) Google adds these capabilities.
How much does it cost?
Free features: Shake Challenge, Step Counter, Journal Entry. Premium ($39/year): QR Code, Sunlight Verification, Selfie Check. 7-day free trial with all features, no credit card required.
What if it's raining and I can't get sunlight?
You can set up multiple challenges. Skip sunlight on rainy days by having backup tasks like the shake challenge or journaling. Build a routine that works for your life.
