About Reveille

Reveille is an alarm app for iPhone and iPad built around the idea that waking up is easy and staying up is hard. The alarm cannot be silenced with a swipe or snoozed: it only stops once you complete a mission. Missions include scanning a barcode on something in your kitchen, finding an object across the room and doing push-ups that the camera counts. A follow-up check-in rings a second alarm if you lie back down after finishing.

The 15 mission types range from math and memory puzzles to barcode scans, step counts, object hunts, push-ups and a 30-second bomb to defuse, and up to five can be stacked on one alarm. A seven-day Hell Week mode gets stricter each morning with fewer snoozes, shorter check-ins and harder missions, and ranks climb through 12 military levels, Recruit to General, as your streak builds. The developer says the alarm rings on time and that the app shows no ads.
