The Alarm Goes Off
You reach for your phone to dismiss it. "Just a quick check" turns into 45 minutes of scrolling.
Coming Soon to iOS
Lock Your Phone Until You
Complete Your Morning Routine
Stop doomscrolling before breakfast. Riselock blocks your apps until you drink water, stretch, journal, or complete whatever morning habits you choose.
The Problem
Your Morning Routine Isn't Failing.
Your Phone Is Sabotaging It.
Willpower Isn't Enough
You've tried habit apps, morning routines, and alarm challenges. They remind you, but they don't enforce.
The Cycle Repeats
Every night you promise tomorrow will be different. Every morning, it's the same story.

FAQ
Common Questions
How does Riselock actually lock my phone?
We use Apple's official Screen Time API to block app access. It's the same technology parents use for parental controls, but you're using it on yourself. You choose which apps to block and what tasks unlock them.
Can I still make calls and texts?
Yes. Phone, Messages, and Maps are always accessible. You can also whitelist any essential apps you need. The goal is to block distractions, not emergencies.
What if I really need my phone?
Riselock includes an emergency override option. Plus, there's a fail-safe that automatically unlocks your phone by noon regardless of routine completion. You're always in control.
Is this available for Android?
Riselock is iOS-only at launch. Android doesn't offer the same level of app-blocking APIs that make this enforcement possible. We may explore Android in the future.
How much does it cost?
Riselock will be free to try with a 7-day trial. Premium features will be available for $39/year, which works out to about $3/month for better mornings every day.
When does it launch?
We're targeting launch in early 2026. Join the waitlist to be notified first and get early access.
